Shimmer was great for me. It helped me gain more awareness for myself in general and helped me prioritize focusing on improving myself and also improving myself as a husband and father. I thought the learning modules were very helpful. My coach Liana was fantastic. She perfect balance of being a great listener and letting me figure things out on my own but also pitching in various suggestions at the right time. She brought up a brilliant idea of having a to-go back whenever I needed to go to a location that was outside the normal day to day. This helped me avoid forgetting key items when leaving the home. She also helped some of my balance of emotions by teaching me to voice my emotions (wheel of emotions) before I react to a challenging situation.

Shimmer was life changing. I got a promotion I hadn't been able to get in 20 years.

Just several weeks into Shimmer I am in FAR better physical shape than I have been in years. Turns out that the daily checklist is brutal! I always hit my 8000 step min and my daily (rotating) weight lift routine. This never happened before. Also my diet calories are down around 12% (I count) which is also a huge breakthrough. My tummy is flat now and I have spring in my step. Seriously that checklist is so brutal! Several times at 10pm instead of going to bed I went downstairs to the gym and hit the weights and/or treadmill. Nothing else could make me do that. It's so weird, I mean, it's just software right? But it rules my life! At the end of the day, either I can check the box or I can't. It just sits there staring back at me! Oh yeah, my LDL cholesterol is down to 85 now, a safe zone; I've been near 100 for years, which is dangerous. Thanks!

I wanted to reach out and say how grateful I am for Shimmer and, in particular, for my coach. She’s played such a key role in my ADHD journey by helping me stay organized and motivated, even with a demanding job, two seniors heading off to college (one right after the other), and all the travel and volunteering I’ve taken on this year. Having her in my corner has truly made a difference—she’s a real cheerleader and partner on the road. Thank you for everything you’ve done to bring Shimmer (and my incredible coach) to life.

I’ve been a Shimmer client for awhile and I absolutely love it. My coach is fantastic. I’m a disabled woman in my 40s with ADHD and more and I’m going back to college to become a therapist and coach. To do this, I rely on the support and continued commitment that I’m given not just by my coach, but by the whole Shimmer team. Fantastic!! Keep up the great work!!

I've been using shimmer for a couple of months now, it is helping me by having someone (my shimmer coach) check on me, and keep me accountable in a friendly and helpful way. I usually forget all about my goals and important "to do" lists with all the distractions in life. But shimmer texts me reminders! On the shimmer website there are many motivating videos and even daily groups guided by a coach that I can join at no extra charge if I choose. Having ADHD makes it difficult to work alone all the time, but in the groups, we are all working together without leaving our home! I love it ! The shimmer app can be used on a cell phone and/or PC. I also get personal messages from my coach with gentle reminders as well as video calls to discuss strategies, ideas, progress and problems. The App is simple to use, and any questions are usually promptly answered by staff.

Before Shimmer, I got to the point with so much failure, so many promises to myself that I just kept not keeping, that I honestly thought I just couldn’t be a successful person. I couldn’t meet my goals.

Over the past year of coaching, it’s been totally revolutionary for me. I'd guess my productivity is up 30%, which as a self-employed person has been huge. I even went on my first vacation in years where I wasn’t constantly stressed about everything I was behind on, I was actually caught up and able to be present.

Another benefit was sleep, which I wasn’t expecting. I’ve probably averaged less than five hours a night for the last decade and didn’t realize sleep resistance is super common among ADHDers. I was able to apply the same strategies I was using to avoid distraction at work to my bedtime routine which has led to at least a 25% increase in my sleep, and some huge downstream impacts in my health and mind.

And I don’t feel alone anymore. Whether I have a great week or a terrible one, I’ve always got someone there who understands me and helps me figure out the next step. It’s been totally life-changing for me.

If you’re on the fence, just try it. I wish I’d started years ago. For what you get, it’s a no-brainer. I probably spend the same amount on subscriptions I don't use.

I joined Shimmer when I was in a volatile and transitionary period of my life when I felt quite directionless and unstable. My weekly coaching sessions with Coach Tracy gave me a source of stability and a base to rebuild my life from and I'm super grateful to have gotten the chance to work with her. She's warm, empathetic, and an excellent listener. She always asks the right questions and reflected back to me my blind spots in a safe and non-judgemental way. I learned a lot about myself throughout this process and made me realise that we all have the answers within, but sometimes we need to be nudged in the right way to find them. She's also very supportive, and as someone with ADHD who's been invalidated a lot throughout my life, having someone on your side who supports you and is there to celebrate your wins with you is invaluable. Working with her and Shimmer for the past 6 months has been an important part of my mental health and healing journey. I feel like I now have the tools and have built the internal stability to continue this journey on my own. I have a path forward in life that I'm excited about and should I ever slip up again and need help to get back on track, I'd definitely return to coaching again in the future.

I signed up to shimmer 2 years ago, just after I was diagnosed with ADHD, and I wanted to write a little letter of thanks. I found shimmer to be really helpful, along with my coach, Alex. The coaching helping me develop some really practical habits that helped my adhd brain to function well, and life has been getting better and better since. At the start, I was struggling in relationships, at work, and with my discipline. These days my work is consistently going well, my discipline is better, and I recently married the woman of my dreams while being surrounded by so much love from new friends along with family. Thanks a lot for being such a big part of my process!

I started working with Shimmer a little over a year and a half ago as I was dealing with a lot of deadlines and pressure at work. Gary was tremendously helpful in encouraging me to think differently about ADHD and my strategies for managing my schedule and workload. I'm very pleased with my outcomes and would recommend the service to anyone who is trying to get a better handle on their ADHD.

For a really long time, I kept seeing Shimmer in my Instagram feed, and I thought to myself, "I don't need another thing!" I had spent so much on the ADHD tax already. Then, one day, I finally took the time to research Shimmer and found that real people with ADHD were behind it, and doctors and academic institutions backed it. It felt like something worthwhile to try out—something for us ADHDers by ADHDers and research-backed.

Anyway, I finally pulled the trigger and am SO glad I did. My Shimmer Coach and the app have a real understanding of ADHD and keep me accountable for what I know I need to do. I'm currently working with my coach on setting up a better routine to complete my dissertation and other goals I want to accomplish. Every day, when I go into the app to check off my tasks, I know my coach is on the other end, and that accountability motivates me to actually complete it.

I highly recommend Shimmer to anyone who has tried many things and nothing has worked, or to those who are newly diagnosed and don't want to jump through all the hoops I had to! I wish I had found Shimmer earlier!

Having someone who UNDERSTANDS what I'm going through and can give feedback has been so helpful. Since starting Shimmer, I've been able to better manage emotional dysregulation (my frustrations don't last as long anymore... only as long as I let it), learn to express my boundaries better, and treat myself with more compassion. Also, having someone who points out my strengths and acts as a ‘cheerleader of my journey’ has made such a difference—especially when a lot of times I can’t see what I’m doing well and nothing is gonna be good enough.

I have really high standards as a coach in another field, and to be supported by an ADHD coach has been so beneficial.

It's been very helpful in building my own awareness—for what works and doesn't work for me. It doesn't feel prescriptive at all. It's truly like: here's a possible frame of reference of something that has helped another ADHD person, and try it out. And I'm like, 'This does actually work.' That empowers me in my ADHD journey, not to be like plug and chug.

If I say something during the session, she types it out and sends it to me later, and it holds me accountable. And if I change my mind, it's okay—she's not gonna be like, 'Oh, but two weeks ago we said this in our notes.' Instead, she's like, 'Okay, so I'm hearing there's a little bit of a change, let's be flexible.'

And my coach doesn't just pepper me with compliments—I have a very sensitive BS meter… she's legit. I'm really pleased.

I was doing therapy before but found it high level and theoretical, and was looking for something more tactical. In 8 months since starting Shimmer, I have developed a proper to-do system and have made what I felt has been the best magnitude of improvement given the time spent with Cailey! What I love about coaching is that in 15 minutes I can get things that I can implement right away. Also, the repetition and feedback loop is far more effective than self-learning through courses, which are more episodic. My Coach (Cailey) is really good at helping me make my goals more bite-sized, and in general it's just relieving talking to someone who gets you.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager. Over the last twenty years, I have read many books on ADHD, have taken meds, tried a gazillion different systems for organizing, and have spent years in therapy trying to understand why my brain would just not get on the same page as neurotypical people.

It took me many months to decide to sign up for Shimmer; I felt so much shame around my executive dysfunction and the frequent sense of internal chaos that accompanies this condition that I wasn’t sure if this could finally be the thing that would work for me.

When I began to work this program, I felt quietly hopeful. I could tell the people who made this app and program not only “got it” insofar as ADHD goes, but also were devising something that was truly inclusive of the neurodivergent / neurospicy community.

Once I began utilizing the education modules (to understand how ADHD works and how I could improve my symptoms over time), creating SMART goals and actions, doing body doubling sessions and working with my awesome coach Leighanna, who really gets me and has been a fantastic support, to see what would “stick” to the proverbial wall, I noticed a gradual and consistent improvement in so many areas of my life.

—I can’t believe it, quite honestly. Has this been the thing that’s been missing my whole life?

—YES: yes it has.

Thank you, Shimmer. You’ve given me a new sense of hope and meaning, confidence and happiness. This program truly works when one puts in the time …and there sure doesn’t seem to be anything else like it.

—I can’t quite imagine my life without it.

Thank you. Really.

Truly, I am so appreciative of what the Shimmer team has created. Shimmer has been huge for me. I have some comorbidity in the mental health diagnosis world, and I just recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I needed something separate and specific for ADHD and Shimmer filled that. THANK YOU!

I have been working with Coach Tory for maybe the last 6 months. I had reached a dead end in my work and was full of stress and on the verge of burnout. My blood pressure was constantly elevated and my doctor was concerned. Somehow I came across Shimmer and was curious. When I saw Tory’s background I had a really great feeling she could help me so I gave it a try. Tory has definitely helped me to turn my life and work around. We have worked on habits, routines, scheduling, difficult conversations, all these things to take a different approach to ADHD rather than trying to work harder and focus more. In this time my ability to work and stay focus has naturally increased. I am sleeping better, my stress levels are lower, my blood pressure has returned to normal and I am happier! My recommendation for anyone considering starting ADHD is to take a leap of faith and give it a try. It could really change their life for the better in unexpected ways.

I've been coaching with Shimmer for 6 months now. As a physician in my mid-fifties, I approached coaching later in life, having struggled with ADHD since childhood. Although unrecognized in my early years and only diagnosed as an adult, I initially tried medications without much success and eventually developed personal strategies to manage ADHD. Discovering Shimmer was a turning point for me. I felt that coaching could be highly beneficial, and my work with Tory has been transformative. Historically, administrative aspects of my job, such as paperwork and organization, posed significant challenges. From our first session, Tori helped shift my mindset and devise concrete strategies to effectively tackle these tasks. Previously, I often spent weekends catching up on work for the upcoming week. However, with Tory's help, I have significantly reduced this need. My experience confirms that it's never too late for improvement. After over 20 years of coping with ADHD, I have made substantial progress under her coaching, avoiding many past pitfalls. Our weekly check-ins are invaluable, and I continue to see improvements. This partnership with Tory Berry has profoundly enhanced my quality of life, and I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone dealing with ADHD.

I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago at the age of 53. I know now that I've had it my entire life and so much of my life-long behaviors now are starting to slowly make sense. The last year has been a huge struggle as I try to optimize everything I can while learning to accept the disorder. I've worked exclusively with Coach James as my coach on Shimmer and I can't recommend him enough. James is patient, kind, insightful and knowledgeable. He has truly helped me many, many times along my journey and I continue to look forward to working with him in the future.

I'm a 60-year-old male trying to get through each week without stumbles from my ADD. Coach Brody was such a great listener for our half hour sessions from Shimmer. She listened and then she had positive feedback to try and reframe things so that I saw them as Less negative and more that I am working on being a better person. She also has ADD so could help me with so many things and actually tell me back that it is not me, but is my ADD causing these issues. She said why don't you write a list of positive things you can do when you feel like you want to procrastinate and therefore you're still moving forward. She helped me reframe so many things into the positive so that now I wanna be a better person instead of focusing on my deficits. I wake up excited to attack the week because I know my coach is always there for me to keep me on track and hear my Highs and lows of the week. I really want to be held accountable and we made a list of things for the week. Of course I didn't get those done and so now I have slammed the list down and she still says that's OK too! I'm very grateful to Shimmer, and I often print out the weekly summaries of my meeting with my coach in order to remind me of actionable items and keep me working towards being a better ADD adult coping with the rapid world around us. Thank you Shimmer and thank you Brody!

I've only been working with Staci Oakes as my coach for a short while, but her assistance has had a profound impact. My ADHD was well-managed until the last 12 months when medication shortages left me without treatment and unmedicated for extended periods, the longest being the past four months. This disruption made it nearly impossible for me to function effectively, and I have fallen behind in all aspects of my life. Fortunately, my medication is no longer in shortage. Armed with my medication in hand, I was eager to piece my life back together and restore a sense of normalcy. However, I soon found myself overwhelmed and stuck when confronted with the monumental task of catching up on all that had fallen behind. My doctor suggested exploring ADHD coaching for support. So, after Googling, I found and decided to try Shimmer. I was matched with Staci Oakes as my coach. Staci's deep understanding of how the ADHD brain functions and her enthusiastic encouragement have already made a significant difference in my life. A few months back, I faced unexpected problems with my work equipment, resulting in a significant financial setback and a whole day's worth of work lost. On that day, my husband returned home to discover me in bed, hiding beneath the covers, tears flowing uncontrollably. That incident pushed me even further behind in my work, and back then, I couldn't fathom how I'd ever recover. I was a complete wreck! Today, a similar issue arose, and my husband was aware of it and anticipated coming home to find me in the same despair as before. However, to his surprise, he found me in high spirits, humming while setting the dinner table. He was genuinely delighted for me and asked what had brought about this change. It was then that I realized I wasn’t worrying about catching up because, with Staci as my coach, I now had the support and guidance that had been missing before to help enable me to navigate a comeback after such a setback. I feel incredibly blessed to have Staci as my coach, and I'm genuinely excited about the potential achievements that lie ahead with her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Staci and Shimmer to anyone facing life changes, especially in the context of challenges like the ADHD medication shortage. Thank you, Staci, for giving me hope and helping me regain the confidence to move forward!

My coach Alex has been so impactful to my ADHD journey - She was there right from the start of my diagnosis, and was pivotal in my understanding of what this meant for my life moving forward. She's given me so many resources to help build my toolkit, and knowing I have her there to chat with throughout the week makes me feel so relieved when blockers arise. ADHD has been such an isolating experience for me, but that really changed once I started using Shimmer. The psychological safety and expertise Alex has led with has resulted in accomplishments I never would've thought possible: I've read 31 books in the year so far, filled up an entire 6 month agenda, and have made more progress in work/school than I ever thought imaginable. What's awesome is that I've been able to find joy in these accomplishments instead of the chaos/stress/exhaustion that I led my life with before coaching. I feel super lucky to have come across Shimmer in it's early days - To see the level of growth in such a short time has been awesome. The app is really intuitive, and I love the context that is shared with us each time the app is updated. Overall, the entire team "behind the scenes" is really wonderful to chat with, and I deeply value how they include customers closely as they build the services and product. Thank you for everything, Shimmer team!

Prior to my diagnosis later in life, my experience with coaching or counseling left me feeling like I could never quite articulate the extent of my inner frustration and the effort required to do what seemed like basic tasks or activities. My coach at Shimmer (Coach Randa) understood the depth of my ADHD struggles, like the inner chaos I felt or how perfectionism, for me, was the reason for my inability to complete projects. She provided insightful explanations in such a way that they gave me clarity and a better comprehension of my symptoms. From this, I was able to explore techniques to regain focus and motivation rather than giving up, which I found myself doing a lot before signing up to Shimmer. As a solopreneur, my productivity increased over 100%, which was beyond my expectations. I still fluctuate in my productivity levels and at times succumb to my symptoms, but I did find that checking in with Coach Randa 15 minutes a week was just right to keep me on track. I highly recommend Shimmer to anyone looking for a more affordable coaching option.

Nothing - and I mean nothing - has had as positive an impact on me as Shimmer. I've spent years trying every resource available to help me wrangle my ADHD and now the search is over! My coach Alex has guided me to be more aware about how ADHD impacts my life and how to work with my brain, not against it. With her help I've successfully added structure to my life, integrated practical skills and planning tools, managed my time blindness, and have overall improved my executive functioning. She's always been kind and adaptable to my needs and whims, but also organized, resourceful, and inspiring. I feel like I can finally manage the chaos! This is the support system you always wanted and needed. So if you're hesitating, please don't wait around - give a Shimmer coach an honest chance to help you the way Alex has helped me! As a major bonus, I looked at a lot of coaching services before choosing Shimmer and nothing compared in terms of both cost and value - its not even a contest, Shimmer wins in this department. I promise its worth it! I'm writing this review because I love Shimmer so much—their small team is super attentive, listens to members feedback seriously, and I just want them to succeed so I always have access to Shimmer. Thanks, Shimmer team!

ADHD coaching has been so helpful! It’s like talking to a friend who helps you understand yourself better and holds you accountable for your weekly goals! My coach (Cailey) is a great listener and really makes me feel understood no matter what I’m going through. She is always encouraging and never makes me feel ashamed for having a less productive week.

I was nervous as first, but my coach Michele is incredibly easy to talk to, funny, relatable, encouraging, and supportive! Michele keeps me accountable, but doesn’t force me to do anything I don’t want to, or that I don’t have energy for that week. I can already feel the difference Shimmer is making in my daily life, and my goals feel more achievable with my coach's advice and guidance.

Shimmer presents info in a way my ADHD brain can absorb and relate to it. I’ve tried coaching in the past and signed up for other apps like, bloom, opal, numo, betterhelp, calm, aura and more. But none were laid out in a way that helped me solve my problems. Shimmer and my coach Michele help me to help myself. I’ve gone from feeling like a zero to a hero in the short time since I've found Shimmer. I can now recognize patterns and thoughtfully make small changes that my coach has suggested which improve my focus and thereby productivity on the spot.

My Shimmer coach is super knowledgeable about ADHD, and has a bag of tricks like mental frameworks and strategies. She is a highly efficient yet deeply caring coach for ADHD professionals! As someone who has struggled with ADHD most of their life but only started working with a specialist on this recently, I found every session with my coach to be personally insightful ("Oh, that's a pattern for me") and useful ("let me try tactic that this week").

Engaging with an ADHD coach through Shimmer was initially a leap into the unknown for me. My primary goal was to navigate the challenges of ADHD, specifically procrastination, feeling overwhelmed, and lack of motivation. In Coach Maren, I found not just a guide but a dedicated collaborator. Her outgoing nature, combined with her open-mindedness and deep understanding of ADHD, makes every session worthwhile. Every chat with her gives me new ideas and hands-on tips I can easily use in my everyday routine. She also checks in on me throughout the week, which really shows her dedication and commitment. Honestly, I can't express how grateful I am for everything Coach Maren and Shimmer have done for me.

I've used many ADHD-related services like accountability apps & to-do apps, but Shimmer really brings in the strategic piece. I really like working with Randa. She uses a motivational interviewing approach, asking me a lot of questions to help both of us get clear on the problem I'm facing, why I want to change, what existing ideas I have and how committed I am to making the changes we discuss. I find this questioning approach ideal as I feel increased ownership over the actions I commit to. She doesn't just ask questions: she provides empathy, suggestions from her own experience and accountability.

I cannot recommend Shimmer enough. I look forward to my weekly sessions in order to tackle some of the issues that I feel are holding me back from my goals.

At first, I was very concerned that I could not possibly get all the support I need as an ambitious woman with pretty severe ADHD in just a 15 minute session each week. But I’m happy to report that even 10 minutes a week with my Shimmer Coach (Michele) has been a game changer for me. If you are an ambitious woman who wants to TRULY have it all and not compromise on any aspect of your life, I implore you to book a session with Shimmer! Michele’s coaching style is very strong and analytical. I personally think she is the exact kind of coach an ADHD CEO would need to succeed in their life. She takes mere seconds to get to the root of my concern for the week and her knowledge of not just the corporate world, but also various educational methodologies and the different ADHD hacks in her toolkit have been pivotal in my having completed a full time Masters program and finishing an advanced-level job certification, on top of maintaining my full-time and extremely demanding job. Thanks to her deep understanding of my emotional sensitivities, I have been able to overcome my extreme fear-based procrastination tactics and have been able to receive new job opportunities in a field marred by layoffs.

Ramesha has been one of the most important sources of guidance that I’ve had in my adult life. She related to me in a way that felt genuine, grounded, and strategically beneficial for accomplishing my goals. Her empathetic nature provided me with a sense of comfort and confidence, encouraging me to explore my ADHD with a renewed perspective. Ramesha’s ability to break down complex goals into manageable steps and provide practical strategies has been instrumental in my growth. I cannot express enough gratitude for her unwavering dedication and positive energy. I highly recommend Ramesha as an exceptional ADHD coach.

It’s not an exaggeration when I say that Shimmer has changed my life. Before working with my Coach, Beth, I honestly felt as if there was something always wrong with me. Her coaching has helped me understand and normalize the way I have felt my entire life, provide reasons to why my brain works the way it does, and how I can actually leverage the advantages of my brain. The founders of Shimmer app really understand individuals who have ADHD and have amazingly created a platform that absolutely works. In a way, I can honestly say that this contribution of this app is a gift to humanity.

My Shimmer Coach, Noelle, is awesome. If I wrote a letter to the universe describing the perfect ADHD coach, that would be Noelle. She is kind and caring and extremely knowledgeable. She has given me SO much great information, advice and tips for coping with and overcoming my ADHD-related issues. She also messages me to check in when I forget to reply which helps a ton (without any shaming or pressure to reply). It helps me immensely knowing that I have a wise coach and friend who understands my struggles and is just a message away. I’m very grateful for her and Shimmer.

I've been a client now for a few months and honestly would have canceled long ago if I hadn't found it valuable. I've had therapists over the years, and what I can do with Shimmer on a weekly basis is beyond what I was able to do with them. And its convenient, it isn't a huge commitment, instead it is the gentle nudge and encouragement I need to put the right structures in place in my life to be the man I want to be. To get someone with my Coach Cailey's knowledge, experience, approach, and willingness to help for the cost of the service is a steal (just don't tell the Shimmer Finance team that :) ). I'm grateful for Shimmer and I'm grateful for Cailey.

Working with Coach Noelle has been fantastic! They are extremely detail-oriented and have catered their coaching to my goals. As someone still learning about their newly-diagnosed ADHD, being asked to reflect on my struggles or realizations each week has been extremely helpful. My assignments each week are very intentional and never too overwhelming. If you are looking for someone to really help you understand your ADHD on an individual level, Noelle will definitely help you with that.

Thank you Shimmer, for connecting me with my Coach Michele. Michele is flexible, but to the point. She won't tell you what to do, but instead she'll ask you what you need to get done and then brainstorm with you ways to get you closer to that goal. If you're struggling with following through specific tasks, Michele is an incredible expert to work with because of her approach to accountability and problem solving.

As an ADHD coach that does traditional 1hr coaching with clients, I was curious about Shimmer's 15 minute model coaching when I heard about it. I was surprised to find that effective coaching is possible in 15 minutes. My coach Beth was sharp and helped me process my thoughts or arrive at solutions. I've since switched to having 2x 30 min sessions a month. I think the best part about Shimmer is the affordability. The Shimmer team was also amazing at working with me to accommodate my needs when a misunderstanding arose. Would recommend to anyone seeking ADHD coaching!

I just started with Shimmer and I'm loving it so far. The coach they paired me with is wonderful. I feel like she really gets me. I had a 30-minute video call with my coach where she asked a lot of questions to get to know me and my challenges. We mapped out a plan to work on those challenges and she gave me action items at the end to work on before our next call. She texted to check in and has been asking questions throughout the week. I have my 2nd session tomorrow and I'm really excited. I've tried traditional coaches in the past and it cost $100 per week/session. This is way more affordable and the fact that we can keep in touch between sessions adds so much value. Overall I'm loving Shimmer!

I've been through long-form adhd coaching before and I have been really in need of a coach to to help when I get stuck and keep me honest on getting tasks done. This has been an immense help. The app itself keeps getting better but they've got a solid staff that truly cares and is focused on ensuring your success. I've truly loved being able to work with Noelle on a weekly basis and the team has been great about handling any of my questions or concerns as they arise.

Coach Tracy has been very helpful for assisting me in figuring out how to keep my life on track and stay focused on what is important to me. She’s quick to find solutions to problems that feel hard to overcome, and she’s knowledgeable about resources.

Without hyperbole, Shimmer has changed my life. My coach is a constant support system, body double, cheerleader, guide, who has provided me help with no judgement and has authentically celebrated my wins (small and big). I had tempered expectations of shimmer, being yet another adhd app. What Staci did was help create accountability in a safe way. Knowing the conversations would be regular, non-judgemental, and effective helped me to accomplish things I didn't think I could conquer. Separately, I have a therapist, and in those sessions I focus on my emotional concerns. In my sessions with Staci, I focus on that at a higher level, and get down to actual tasks to complete. After I complete these tasks, I get excited to share with Staci what I've accomplished, and it is always met with a genuine response. I'm looking forward to working towards an even better year and creating regular habits with Staci by my side!

I joined Shimmer to help with my career but it has ended up improving all areas of my life, including being able to help my young daughter manage life with ADHD as well. — I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s and was looking for a way to help with my job. My Shimmer coach, Coach Randa, has been amazing. She has helped me increase my productivity at work along with feeling more confident and accepting of my ADHD. She is very flexible with what we focus on in our sessions- sometimes we have planned topics and other times it is more spontaneous. She is very fun to work with, supportive , and has a lot of great life experience to share.

Working with Shimmer has been life changing. Through a medical leave from work and subsequent return to work full time, my coach has been an incredible resource, advocate and source of inspiration. I started coaching about 4 months ago feeling completely overwhelmed by the chaos of 2 kids, work and my relationships. I've spent the last few years since becoming a mom feeling like something was wrong with me. Now I am closer to an official ADHD diagnosis and coping with my symptoms with the help of my coach. For the first time in my life I feel seen. Felice has guided me to be more aware about how my thoughts & ADHD impact my life and how to work with my brain, not against it. With her help I've successfully added structure to my life & improved my executive functioning. Her messages in the app have given me a reason to pause and celebrate wins. Felice has been kind, inspiring, organized, resourceful, and is a clear communicator. I feel like I can finally take care of myself again thanks to Shimmer. And now I’m motivated to do more to reach my goals in the new year. I always assumed coaching was out of the question for me because of cost, but I was wrong. Shimmer wins in both the cost and value department. It is worth every penny for me and my family. I’ve shared Shimmer with friends and I think if you give a Shimmer coach an honest chance, they’ll help you the way Felice has helped me! Thank you Felice and Shimmer team!

Where would I be without Shimmer & Coach Maren?! Connecting with others - especially to explore ideas - is a vital part of how I relate to the world. Coach Maren grasped that on a deep level very early on in our time together and has been able to match that energy pretty much since day one. It's a joy to explore ADHD-related topics with her each week. She's able to pace our meetings so that there's space for me to get my ideas and feels out but also time for us to plan the week ahead. It's the supportive vibes and accountability I need - all in a half hour. Truly amazing. Thank you so much Shimmer for making it so easy to connect, share, and grow!

I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate Shimmer. I have found my time with Shimmer more helpful than months of therapy. It has been more helpful than all the ADHD sites. I had an ADHD coach years ago who made me fill in spread sheets, etc. It was a lot and my brain could never figure it out. So when I entered into coaching with Shimmer, I was pretty up front with what I did NOT want! I’ve noticed how my life is flowing better and my attitude is more accepting of myself because of what my coach has helped me with, the tools he’s given me, and most importantly, his kind acceptance (with humor!!!!) that helps me stay out of self-disgust and self-flagellation. I’m grateful for shimmer, for James, and for real help!

My Coach Staci, absolutely the best. Her dedication to helping those in need is truly stellar. I appreciated her honesty and attention to detail. If you need someone to share your story with and need some good technics and direction. Reach out to Staci!

Shimmer has been a catalyst for more personal growth and development for me over the past six months than I have experienced over the past 20 years. I may, or may not, be shedding a small tear of joy and appreciation as I write this… It was exactly six months ago today on November 4th that I got my ADHD diagnosis (at age 52). Coach Janna has been incredibly supportive, helping me believe in myself more than I ever have and helping me focus on what’s important and make meaningful progress in all areas of my life. I have never met someone that gets me as well as she does and always has very specific, impactful advice for me that always works.

Staci has been such a warm and wonderful coach - and I say this as someone who has worked with a number of other coaches. She's really intelligent, charming and lovely, but goes out of her way to offer reassurance and actual help. She's really willing to be on your side and even laugh with you through ups and downs.

My experience with Adrienne has been everything I had hoped for. She has been super focused, which is something I identified with, and organised, which is something I badly need. She has helped me set SMART goals weekly and keep on track with periodic reminders through Shimmer's app. She is personable, patient, friendly and caring. She also has life experience that makes her understanding and a great source of advice. Nothing but good things to say about Adrienne - aside maybe the fact that I have to stop myself from screaming "Adrienne!" every time she pops on my screen."

I’m only three weeks into coaching sessions with Randa and am really appreciating the support. It keeps me accountable and focused on actual behavioural change. I have simple, tangible strategies to remind myself each week to think differently and react/respond differently. And she’s down to earth and easy to talk to!

Just the fact that I have to meet with someone every week, makes me conscious that I have to sit down and discuss what I did last week. That now stays on my mind all week and that I need to do something to move forward.

Working with Coach Janna has been great. I’ve picked up so many new approaches to problem-solving and prioritizing, and she has provided enthusiastic support as well! Going over the goals for the week and receiving some much-needed perspective has been incredibly helpful.

I am working with Shimmer to seek resources and tools as the parent of an adult with ADHD. I do not have ADHD and I am new to understanding neurodiversity. In spite of this twist on the situation, my coach Staci has jumped right in to help. She is amazing and an absolutely great coach. Staci has provided resources, listened to the circumstances and situations and learned the players. She has been patient with my questions, encouraging and supportive. Although I still have a lot to learn, I feel I have a better understanding of ADHD and my son and I feel better equipped to support him and his son. Next steps include learning to empower him so that he can live his best life. Thank you, Shimmer. Thank you, Staci!

I love working with my coach, Alex because she checks in on me during the week and makes sure I do all the things I said I would and inevitably forgot. She's also amazing at helping me break down my goal into simple steps by asking me a bunch of questions I never would have thought to ask myself.

Shimmer is amazing! Working with an ADHD coach is great because she really understands me and how I'm feeling. Not only does she provide me with ADHD tips, but she also helps me with emotional regulation and offers a safe space for me to express emotions.

This Shimmer App and Coach Janna are transforming my life right now. I was only diagnosed with ADHD in November, 2022, at 52. With renewed confidence in myself and my abilities I have just applied for a promotion at work, learned yesterday that I made the shortlist, and will have an interview on the 15th!!

My Shimmer coach, Alex, is amazing, and here's why I'm such a fan: I love how Alex intuitively knows how to provide the right mix of compassion, accountability, and advice. I think I most appreciate how she listens patiently when I share an area of struggle, then she zeroes in on underlying issues and has advice or a suggested resource ready to share. Also I'm thankful for how she's always there for our calls with an even-keel, low-key engaged presence, and her accountability texts have often helped when something important could have easily fallen off my radar. Even though I suspect she's several years younger than I am, she's become my older-sister-style mentor for all things EF (i.e. everything related to executive-functioning skills). I recently celebrated a birthday, and as I shared with Alex, I'm much more hopeful about this year than I would have been without coaching, so that's a great gift!

Working with Staci has been stellar.

Every week it’s like being sent out on the playing field with the greatest cheerleader bolstering me from the sidelines. Our sessions always change the trajectory of my day for the better. My coach consistently provides clear, actionable advice that helps specifically with whatever I’m up against; and if I didn’t have the best week, she’s always calm and encouraging, never pushing too hard but just enough to get me back in the game. I highly recommend Shimmer!

My coach is agile, sensory, determined to be helpful, and great at re-directing. I was not going to make my initial meeting. I continued to put other things: appointments, work, kids, husband and family before myself. She didn’t provide any judgement. She encouraged me without nagging, just light nudging/encouraging. When we did meet, I told her I couldn’t get organized. She patiently walked me through the app and how to use it. She found a way to make it work for me not what worked for her. She also told me I could text whenever which makes it extremely convenient. Once we did meet, I liked her right away. I cried. I think I felt overwhelmed. She LISTENED and then redirected me perfectly. She is gentle but firm. She does not present strict; however she was amazing at setting boundaries. She let me know the difference between counseling, therapy and her role. If you are a Type A, wanting 100% control, and suffer from perfectionism, then Janna is the balance needed. She is concise and clear in setting expectations, explaining how she can help in meeting personal goals, and next steps. I look forward to working with her each week!

I could not have asked for a better resource to help me navigate living life with ADHD, and for it for be affordable and attainable is such a blessing! Working with Shimmer (and my coach, Staci) is helping me understand my ADHD, learn how to implement simple habits that make a big impact over time, and to keep myself accountable while also giving myself grace when I need to.

Shimmer has been a game changer. It's been HUGE. I could not have asked for a better coach. I was skeptical when signing up. I'm always worried about cultural considerations so I wanted to make sure it was a safe space—it's been that and more. My coach, Staci, has exceeded my expectations by miles - she is focused but doesn't rush our calls, comes up with *exactly* the strategies and encouragement I need and checks in on me via text each week which is super helpful. So thankful for her!

I love working with Shimmer & Coach Candace. I struggle with having compassion for myself and beating myself up when I don't meet my goals; Candace has been an incredible cheerleader and helped me turn down the volume on my inner critic as well as helping me to reframe my goals to make them more achievable. She also is amazing at celebrating my wins with me. I'm grateful for all the kindness & support she's given me.
