Kirby is the founder of Calibrate ADHD, a coaching and education system designed to help ADHD adults finally understand how their minds work, develop useful tools and strategies and regulate their nervous systems. Known for her relatable teaching style and her ability to translate neuroscience into real-life strategy, Kirby empowers clients to move from overwhelm to clarity one calibrated step at a time.

Kirby spent years as a special education teacher and coach, specializing in ADHD, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. After her own burn out, she finally started to recognize her own ADHD needs and used her expertise to create a new system for herself. That personal reboot became the foundation of Calibrate — a blend of neuroscience, nervous system education, behavior psychology, and compassion-driven coaching. Kirby has found her true calling in helping neurodivergent adults navigate their lives using her signature approach:  science made human, healing made practical.

When she isn’t connecting with the Calibrate community, you’ll most often find Kirby with her family. One of the core reasons she built Calibrate was to be more present and connected at home. Spending time with her imaginative five-year-old son (currently equal parts Pokémon and AC/DC frontman) and her husband, who is also a coach (though they’ve wisely decided not to swap jobs, as football very much does not compute in Kirby’s brain), is both her anchor and her “why.” She can also be found deep in an artsy or bookish hyperfocus, or soaking up time with her extended family—continually reminding herself why regulation, connection, and joy matter so much in the first place.
