Neurodivergent Phoenix Circles:

A safe space for stories, music & movement for women

A multi-circle community space for neurodivergent women moving through grief, heartbreak, burnout, transition, and life’s emotional underworlds, without needing to “perform fine” or rush healing. Through story-sharing, music, movement, and community, these circles are designed to help people feel what’s real, release what’s heavy, and slowly reconnect to joy together.

Introducing the
Neurodivergent Phoenix Circles

 ADHD Girls' AuDHD Women Survey uncovered our parallel experiences of
masking, emotional labour, intergenerational grief, and over-functioning in relationships.
These aren't random "symptoms".
They are inherited patterns that shape our nervous system, health, hormonal rhythms, and our identity. 

In a world where a neurodivergent woman can feel disempowered in relationships and the healthcare system, we created a space where you can come as you are,
with no need to perform, and nothing to prove to anyone. 

You’ll find a space that feels like a hug,
where you can belong to yourself
and the community, without self-abandonment. 

Individual Circles Sharing Stories

 

You'll be inside a circle of 7-8 other women, held in a respectful space with ground rules for emotional safety. This event is purely centred on our collective stories.

Music & Your Own Style of Movement 

 

You will be immersed in songs about our collective experiences, written to connect and heal the parts of us that have always needed our love, and express your own voice and move in a way that feels right for your body. 

A Community
That Gets It

 

You’ll connect with a room full of women who truly understand your journey, because they’re walking it too. Healing begins when you find a community that honours and reflects your true self.

Meet Your Host: Dr. Samantha Hiew

For most of her life, Sam had searched for belonging.

It was only in her 40s, after receiving her autism and ADHD diagnoses and finding other women walking parallel journeys, that Sam finally understood why.

Women who felt everything deeply, held everything together, and were still somehow invisible to the family, societal, and healthcare systems meant to meet and support them.

What if the frameworks were never designed to see us? 

Sam is internationally recognised for transforming how society understands neurodivergent women and is the creator of the TOTI Framework, an integrated model connecting neuroscience, hormones, trauma, identity, relationships, and nervous system adaptation. With a PhD in cancer research and a background in communications, she translates complex science into language that informs the mind and reaches the part of a person that finally feels seen. 

Through Sam’s lived experience as an AuDHD woman, her journey of learning and healing alongside the community bridges science, body, and soul in a deeply holistic way.

What the Community Say

 "We sat together in a circle and sang. Usually that would have filled me with dread but there was no fear just voice, breath, and connection. I felt safe, free from judgment and genuinely linked to others in the room. That sense of belonging is rare and it made the moment feel joyful rather than exposing.

We closed with a meditation. Meditation has been tough for me in the past but last night it felt accessible and genuinely beneficial. The environment mattered the calm pacing, soft lighting and co-regulated energy in the room created the conditions for it to work. It reminded me that the right space can transform the experience.

It was so lovely to meet Samantha and listen to her lived experience of AuDHD grounding, validating and empowering."

"Samantha's session felt refreshingly unlike most events I've attended. It's rare to come away with genuinely actionable tools or insights, as many mental health sessions simply cover things you've already researched yourself (thanks to ADHD/AuDHD hyperfocus!). This was an experiential session that encouraged connection and reflection, not just another talk with slides. It was refreshing to leave feeling calm and grounded, yet inspired.

Nervous system regulation seems to be a recurring theme in my life at the moment, as I'm also managing co-occurring conditions such as a high heart rate and blood pressure, so the emphasis on finding more strategies for regulation was particularly helpful."

 

"The most impactful moment for me was the song Dr Hiew wrote and shared. She presented herself in such an authentic and vulnerable way that encouraged others to feel truly seen and heard. It's rare to attend an event that goes beyond raising awareness to actually embodying action.

Engaging in this type of singing exercise for nervous system regulation was such a solid strategy in itself, but experiencing it collectively among a group of ADHD and AuDHD women created a profoundly powerful sense of community. It made us feel together, not just "talked at" by an expert. This type of event could very easily have spiralled into sharing trauma, but it was so thoughtfully organised to remain supportive, calming, and inspiring It was, honestly, incredibly well thought-out, deeply impactful and the only session about ADHD/AuDHD that I've walked away from feeling really good and grounded, rather than triggered and struggling to manage my emotions on the way home!"
