Associate Coach
KRISTA BAUMGARTEN
Educate. Motivate. Cultivate.
One on One coaching is the only way to get the highly personalized support that you need in your journey of self discovery. While learning more about yourself, setting goals, making boundaries, reinventing yourself through unmasking is all within your power, it can be done with more fluidity, confidence, and security with a trusted ally who has walked the path, done the research, and is committed to helping.
You have coaching options! Sol has mentored other neurodivergent coaches through years of work and has begun to bring them into the practice. Because demand is high, booking with Sol may not always be available.
The associate coaches will work with you with Sol’s full confidence and guidance. They may be preferable due to availability, pricing, or because they come from a walk of life and demographic closer to your own lived experience. Be sure to look at the profiles below and pick the coach right for you.
Gain agency through autonomy, shed years of calcified shame and anxiety; work with expert guidance; Professor Sol Smith is here.
Coaching with Sol
I work closely with a small number of clients at a time, which means spaces fill quickly.
Begin this spring or summer, but secure today’s pricing. Stay motivated, build momentum, change your life.
Because Sol has high demand, the investment is high and availability can be low. You can also choose coaching with our Associate Coach, Jill. Jill is talented, experienced, and trained by Sol.

Jill Nachtigall
Jill is a late-diagnosed AuDHD student of psychology who returned to university following a late diagnosis in her mid-thirties. Her path back to academia was driven by the absence of neuro-affirming support for both herself and her children. Jill focuses on helping individuals with strategies grounded in resilience, growth, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation.
An ultramarathon runner with distances up to 100 miles, Jill integrates principles of endurance, adaptability, and intrinsic motivation into her work. She is a certified coach (NCCP/UESCA) with additional training in Sports Nutrition and Ethics. As a ski coach and run community leader, she supports individuals and families in reconnecting with movement, nature, and sustainable forms of wellbeing.
A core part of Jill’s philosophy is the ongoing work of unlearning oppressive systems—we don’t need to feel broken for not acting right or not being productive enough. Within the neurodivergent community, Jill leads the “Reconnecting with Nature” group, using nature, play, and creativity as tools for cognitive recovery and regulation. Jill views every session as an invitation for people to show up exactly as they are, and strives to create a trauma-informed space centred in curiosity, openness, and the belief that growth is deeply individual.

KRISTA BAUMGARTEN
I’m a life coach focused on helping people navigate mental health, overwhelm, and personal growth in a way that actually feels sustainable.
My work is shaped by both lived experience and ongoing study in Positive Psychology through the University of Pennsylvania (Penn LPS Online), with a focus on resilience, character strengths, and evidence-based approaches to well-being. I bring together practical tools and real-world understanding to support people in making meaningful, lasting changes.
I’ve spent years navigating my own challenges with mental health, substance use, and understanding how my neurodivergent brain works instead of fighting it. There were long periods where coping looked messy—where I made choices that helped me survive, but weren’t sustainable. Over time, through therapy, support, and consistent personal work, I built healthier ways of managing stress, emotion, and overwhelm.
That experience shapes how I show up. I don’t see people as broken or failing—I see people trying to function within systems and expectations that often don’t reflect how humans actually work.
My approach to coaching is grounded, compassionate, and practical. I care about helping people feel less alone, but also about helping them move forward in ways that genuinely improve how life feels day to day. I value clarity over pressure, honesty over performance, and progress that respects capacity.
Outside of coaching, I spend a lot of time in creative and grounding practices—photography, working with my hands, and time outdoors. Travel has also been a meaningful teacher for me; being in unfamiliar environments has a way of revealing what actually matters and how much our internal state shapes our experience.
My role isn’t to tell you who to be, but to help you understand yourself well enough to make choices that actually serve you.
