I discovered Shimmer very shortly after my ADHD diagnosis last year (age 40). It was just the thing I needed to help me sort out all the stuff I was working through emotionally, and at the same time, set some attainable goals to help manage my symptoms. Finding this platform that offered a low-risk point of entry to coaching really helped me find my bearings. A late diagnosis raises a lot of questions about who you think you are, and having guidance to establish more effective routines and habits was very helpful for me. My coach (Alex) has been insightful and continually raises questions for me to reflect on. I look forward to continuing my journey with Shimmer, and being a part of their growing community.
Congrats to the entire Shimmer team for expanding access to their ADHD product! It's been exciting to watch this product evolve and truly be designed to center its users.
The Shimmer app is more than just education, goal setting and reminder lists – any app can do that, although Shimmer does it well. What's special about the Shimmer app is the people behind it. I have never before downloaded any app that gave me a personal experience with the people behind the app. This makes Shimmer unique! The fact that the Shimmer team is so involved makes me want to be involved too. Their passion for the mission is infectious. My personal Shimmer coach is a top-notch coach with excellent credentials who is invested in my success. Shimmer is a smart app with amazing people behind it.
Love it! The staff is super supportive, helpful, and open to feedback on improvements to the program. This is my first time trying coaching and I got funding from my university accommodations and the Shimmer staff were really helpful in completing some of the forms. The price point is excellent, and compared to therapy, coaching is so much more positive and provided me with actionable exercises to help me overcome my symptoms and other struggles. Would highly recommend it!
Shimmer focused on specific issues tailored to the desired plans and outcomes - it was nice to have specific steps and guidance from coaches for hyperfixation
Tried Shimmer for the first 6 months and the app experience and weekly sessions with a dedicated coach have drastically improved my mental well-being, reduced my impulsiveness, and helped me control my emotional reactivity
Congrats on the launch, @christal! I'm just discovering this app for the first time but I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago at the age of 35. The diagnosis completely changed my life as an entrepreneur as I've developed tools for managing & optimizing my ADHD. Coaching specifically geared towards this condition is something I've been seeking for a while, but as you said, the existing options leave a lot to be desired. I'll definitely be trying this out. Must say, I noticed you have some fantastic blog & social media content! Thanks for developing this platform and congrats again!
