Experiential Life
One Place | Less Overwhelm | More Clarity
Your Advocacy Partner
From Diagnosis to Adulthood
One Place. Less Overwhelm. More Clarity.
I’m the mom other moms turn to when they have a question about their child’s IEP, how to respond to a denied insurance claim, what they need to do before their child turns 18, and how to apply for disability services.
I’m the mom that worked on the inside of disability systems for 15 years – because I was tired of feeling like the imposter at the table who didn’t know what the f*ck the experts around me were talking about.
Now I’m applying to be your advocacy partner because you sure as hell shouldn’t have to do it all alone.
Experiential Life is for you
If you've ever...
✔️ Woke up at 3am and jumped on your phone to “look up one last thing” before the IEP meeting tomorrow.
✔️ Joined every Facebook Group that included your child’s diagnosis and the word “support”.
✔️ Internally screamed at anyone who said, “make time for self-care,” without realizing you are a full-time care coordinator, co-regulator, advocate, chef, chauffeur, medical assistant, and legal aide.
✔️ Lost sleep wondering what life will look like after high school, when your child reaches the edge of the proverbial “cliff.”
Experiential Life is where you go, instead of falling down the research rabbit hole.
Because you don’t need more information – you need to know what to do with it.
You don’t have time to fall down the research rabbit hole – but you also need help now. Experiential Life is your advocacy partner that fits in your pocket.
You can’t face another IEP meeting alone – or it’s your first IEP meeting and you’re not sure what it even means. If you live in Maryland, my one-to-one IEP services are for you.
You’re ready to advocate for more than just your child – you want to make sure all disabled folx keep the rights and protections that disability advocates fought so hard for.
Why Trust Me?
Hi, I'm Christy
In 2011, my son’s pediatrician said, “Christy, I think your son is autistic…”
Then he handed me a stack of referrals and a few pamphlets and told me to schedule a follow-up in 6 weeks.
I was not prepared to become a care coordinator, expert in education, medical, legal, and future planning jargon overnight.
I hated feeling like an imposter who didn’t have my sh!t together, and didn’t know how to help my son.
So I spent the next 15 years working inside the systems that support neurodivergent and disabled kids.
I sat in the rooms where decisions get made.
I built Experiential Life because it was what I needed when my son first got diagnosed, and what I need now that he’s 18 and facing the “cliff.”

Terrific and unlike anything out there! I appreciate it being created BY a mother of an autistic child and not just some company.

Or – you know how you wish that there was just one place where you could go to get all the information you need about what to freaking do… because making all the decisions is exhausting.

Yeah – that’s basically Experiential Life.
