Love Your Brain
Achieve your creative/business goals with your body & brain fully on board.
Does any of this sound familiar?
• You're a "self-improvement" pro who's watched the YouTube, bought the books, and downloaded a dozen courses... But you still don't feel like you've found a solution that works for you.
• Your mental health is okay, or "better than it was!"... But you still find yourself delayed by perfectionism, procrastination, or just not-wanting-to-do-this-today.
• You're a talented creative with so many ideas and interests... But you have trouble focusing on one thing long enough to build what feels like sustainable success.
• You love your brain's capacity for creativity and innovation... But sometimes you feel oversaturated and like you're stuck in the spin cycle.
• And you're devilishly self-sufficient, always thinking you should be able to figure it out on your own... But something's just not clicking and you're not sure you're on the right path.
Here's the problem...
When you're not feeling inspired and creative, the self-judgment can pile on, full of messages you've been hearing your whole life. Creative and neurodivergent folks are sometimes called lazy, undisciplined, or even hopeless. And that's hardly the loving, flow-filled state from which creativity springs!
If you've already done a lot of "work on yourself" and just want to get to the good stuff already, the good news is that you don't have to be fully healed in order to get your creative mojo back.
If you feel pulled in fifteen directions by your interests and passions, there are ways to grow and achieve without truly giving up on any of them.
And if you've tried a ton of different things, you're probably feeling ready for something that works for your exact unique brain and situation, that can be flexible as you grow and change.
If that resonates...
I bet you've been looking for a professional creative who gets the arts & business parts AND has the proven skills to support you in managing the day-to-day so you have the mental space to truly live in your genius.
And it does exist—I'm a multi-hyphenate autistic+ADHD artist & AuDHD Coach whose special interest in trauma healing led them to becoming a multiply-certified coach and hypnotist, working with neurodivergent creatives to build sustainable lives.
Love Your Brain is a creative incubator for AuDHD* creatives and/or entrepreneurs who are ready for all the work they've put in to pay off.
Over 6-12 weeks, Love Your Brain has two simultaneous tracks:
1. Increasing your sense of safety and effectiveness in the practical side of life (getting your brain and body on board)
2. Making meaningful and measurable steps toward your personalized creative project and/or business goals.
Those two tracks together—even if you spend the minimum of around two hours a week—can have some spectacular results. I’ll be your creative partner & healing guide, supporting your creative and personal dreams simultaneously.
*Clients who are just autistic OR ADHD have also been successful in Love Your Brain! See FAQ below for more.
Sounds cool, but how?
Procrastination, self-sabotage, and people-pleasing are actually safety mechanisms when the brain perceives a threat. The central nervous system regulates almost all of the body’s system, and it heavily affects what we call “emotional regulation.” A healthy CNS can handle stress and re-regulate to a state of safety. Because we live in a more routinely stressing world than our ancestors, sometimes the CNS gets “stuck” in states of stress that can affect our entire body.
Regulating the nervous system so it can return to safety more often can feel like a deep reset for the body and brain. It allows us to take risks, have healthy relationships, maintain better health, and feel more hopeful.
Using a variety of modalities including coaching, hypnosis, somatics, and other cool stuff, we find what helps your nervous system feel consistently more safe and less stressed. The ups and downs of life will still happen, but you'll have many tools at your disposal that work for your unique body-mind system. And you'll feel more of a sense of control about whatever comes in the future.
Note that this section is 90% geared toward the group & 1:1 components. The stand-alone course does work with this, it's just not individualized.
This program is not a substitute for medical advice from a licensed professional. While Mattia loves science and learns as much as they can, they are very aware of their lane... which does not include diagnosing or treating disorders.
There are 3 core supports in Love Your Brain:
Learning Content / Course
The core learning content is now a stand-alone, self-paced course that you can return to whenever you want to.
There are three overarching themes the course teaches:
1. Understanding your own mind-body system
2. Working with the brain states you have & lessening shame
3. Getting through a project...even the tough parts
From understanding important AuDHD brain components, to flexible experimentation and planning, to managing interruptions in daily life... LYB has your brain in mind.
Because of that, lessons are bite-sized (3-14 min) and can be consumed in multiple ways.
Yes, you can just do the course and get what you need! That's ideal if you've already done a lot of healing work and just need the info and boost. If you need more co-regulation, see below.
Group Calls & Coworking
The group component is great if you need some social support, accountability, or need more individualized advice for your unique situation.
Group coaching calls allow you to ask for what you need around your project and life. It helps a lot if you tend to get stuck. Calls are recorded and shared back with the group.
Co-working is a gentle form of co-regulation. We check in at the beginning & end of calls, can type in the chat throughout, and Mattia is available as needed. Calls are not recorded as we're mostly in focus time.
• 3 Group Coaching calls per month
• 3 Co-working calls per month (plus occasional bonus calls)
• Call times that reflect most time zones and are flexible based on time zone needs
• Light support available via email between calls
Learn more here.
1:1 Sessions
If you need deeper support, you can add 1:1 sessions, which include creative advising between sessions.
The core course content takes 6-8 weeks to complete. You could do the three sessions for support, or 2-3 times if you want weekly support.
• During those sessions, we'll practice CNS healing, talk about your project, try hypnosis... all tailored to your needs!
• Creative advising via email between sessions. I'm here for you! This can be the nitty-gritty practical advice you need to keep up momentum.
It's fine to do the course and add this on after, as well! That way you get the full information, and we can target exactly what else you may need.

p.s. my secret behind-the-scenes goal is that you grow so much in your capacity and sovereignty that you never feel like you need another program again. From here on out, it's all about fun & flourishing, not "fixing." You don't need to be fixed, you just need a framework and the confidence to apply it!
Who am I & Why do people work with me?
My name is Mattia Maurée, and I’m an award-winning composer and poet who loves learning, long walks, and arctic puffins. While I started college at 14, I wasn’t diagnosed autistic until my 30s—being gifted often masks struggles with daily life. Everyone in my large family has ADHD, and learning how to love and accept my strengths and weaknesses has made every area of life more fun, challenging, and rewarding.
I’ve specialized in working with neurodivergent and gifted people since 1999, when I first started teaching piano. When I started processing my own complex-PTSD, trauma healing became a special interest that led directly to a year-long trauma training program. While I didn’t want to be a therapist, I knew I wanted to help people like me thrive. Becoming a multiply-certified life coach and hypnotist has given me a plethora of modalities to draw from. I'm a Board Certified Hypnotherapist through IACT, an organization that certifies hypnosis professionals.
Now, I’ve coached almost a hundred neurodivergent creatives. Through our work together, clients have changed careers, revitalized creative practices, and brought “11 out of 10” anxiety down to manageable levels.
I’ve helped people do everything from create an ND-friendly morning routine to explain to their parents why they need to change degree programs. Now I work exclusively with neurodivergent and/or gifted creatives and entrepreneurs to get the support they haven’t been able to find anywhere else.

Testimonial from Love Your Brain (live round
When I contacted Mattia, I'd been struggling... I had tried everything to quit smoking and failed; I was drinking too much and having trouble sleeping; and I generally felt overwhelmed and sick with anxiety all the time. I'd also tried seeing three therapists and one psychologist during this time, but I just couldn't get my feet under me. Worst of all, I'd stopped being able to do my art, and I felt like I was losing myself as well as the future I wanted.
I've always known I was neuroatypical, but I was unprepared for what a difference it made to work with someone who really understood that, and with a program geared towards the way my mind works. By giving me tools for really addressing my anxiety, and teaching me how to manage my own progress, Mattia helped me move forward in a way that respected my self-knowledge. This helped me make more progress, and with far less difficulty, than I expected.
I was able to quit smoking, after years of trying, in just a few sessions. I quit drinking every day, too, and got a handle on my habits; I started creating healthy routines, and then starting making art again. I even made progress on roadblocks in my art and social skills that I hadn't planned to even address—but using Mattia's system, it was surprisingly easy, both to start making progress, and to keep it going.
It's been a few months since our sessions finished, and I continue to make excellent progress on my own, using what I learned: I'm expanding my routines, eating better, and deepening my artistic practice to the point where I now spend 1-2 hours a day working on what I love doing. I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on my life, and this program was the single best thing I did to make that happen.

FAQ & Pricing
Q: Who is this program for?
A: Neurodivergent creatives & entrepreneurs who are ready to transition into the next phase of their career. Mid-career artists who feel stuck or frustrated. People who know they have so much more capacity but feel held back by the same brain that gives them superpowers.
Q: Who is the program NOT for?
A: If you’re at the very beginning of your creative journey and are looking for “tips and tricks” rather than a comprehensive jet-fuel for your process. This is not for you if paying for it would stress you out too much to enjoy it.
Q: How much time will this take?
A: Allow an hour a week for 1:1 or group calls. The 2-hr weekly coworking calls are optional. Then however much time you want to commit to your project! This program will grow your capacity and get you into more fun and flow. You'll feel your sense of time expand.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The core course is $750. Because creating safety for your mind-body system is at the core of the program, I want the money to feel aligned and like a good fit for you. Group calls are $150/month, and 1:1 calls + creative advising are $850.
Q: Are scholarships available?
A: Yes, you can find out about that here.
Q: Do I have to be both autistic and ADHD?
A: Nope—if you're one or the other, or identify as neurodivergent in general, that's great too. And self-diagnosis is always valid!
AuDHDers specifically tend to not find much support or advice that works for them, so that's why I'm being up front about this being a space for both neurotypes.
Q: Should I just find a coach for my specific artistic area, such as a book coach?
A: If you have a clearly defined project, need in-depth insider knowledge of one area, and don’t need the nervous system support… go for it! If you need a coach who understands your brain, not just your medium, and/or if your dreams and passions are wide-ranging and you struggle with figuring out how to get it all done… I can help with that.
Q: I’ve tried coaches or programs in the past that haven’t worked for me…how is this different?
A: If this is not the right fit for you, I trust you to know that. I’ve helped ND creatives create some truly outrageous results by deeply honoring their own inner knowing.
Q: What if I feel like I “should” be able to figure all this out by myself because I’m smart and used to doing things on my own? What if I already have resources but feel like it’s just not integrating or clicking?
A: Neurodivergent creatives often have to forge our own path. You’re probably used to figuring things out on your own out of necessity. Being "functional" (i.e. high-masking) is a double-edged sword, because you may have had trouble getting people to take you seriously enough to actually help you. And all you really want is enough stability to love your creative practice again, and have it support your life holistically. I’m here to help you integrate everything you’ve learned so far, put all the pieces together, and finally feel like your brain is totally on your side.
Q: What if I still have questions?
A: Please email questions to admin@mattiamauree.com.
