about

Katherine sycip, M.Th., IPHM

Katherine SyCip, IPHM, works in lifestyle-medicine oriented and neurodiversity focused performance coaching.She is certified by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, UK as well as IAOTH or International Association of Therapists.She holds a Masters in Theology and is on track to complete a Lifestyle Medicine Coaching Program with Harvard Medical School in the first quarter of 2026.These credentials formalize a path she has walked for years.She works with late diagnosed adults, families of neurodivergent individuals, and professionals who function at a high level yet live near burnout.
In 2015, before any formal training, she and her husband, both late diagnosed ASD and ADHD, built their own stability toolkit while navigating chronic stress, burnout cycles, energy collapse, and nervous system volatility.Their tools sat in the in between. Not fully clinical, not fully wellness, but medically adjacent, biologically grounded, and behaviorally pragmatic. That lived groundwork matured into her current practice.She supports:Late diagnosed or self identified neurodivergent adults in burnout, shutdown, or cognitive drainParents and families seeking non shaming ways to understand and support neurodivergent loved onesExecutives, creatives, and knowledge workers who have relied on masking as their primary adaptationIndividuals carrying chronic stress, chronic illness, dysautonomia patterns, nervous system instability, or systemic symptoms unresolved by standard careClients often arrive after exhausting traditional options.Her approach is biopsychosocial by design. She reads symptoms as data, behaviors as adaptations, and burnout as a system signal rather than a personal failure.Coaching is customized, longitudinal, and structured to hold through flare ups, meltdowns, and chronic stress without forcing neurotypical assumptions onto neurodivergent lives.Her background in theology informs the way she works with meaning, purpose, and internal orientation. It adds a layer to coaching that accounts for spiritual coherence, personal conviction, integrity, and the deeper narratives that shape resilience.Her work formalizes years of observation into applied practice, helping clients regain stability with tools that respect how their minds and bodies are actually wired, not how they are told to function

PHYSICAL SYMPTOM CHECKLIST

Neurodivergent individuals often experience a cluster of symptoms related to autonomic function, or the "automated" control systems of the body.They are often hard to diagnose unless seen as a whole, and are often treated pharmaceutically -- but only symptomatically. Not holistically.
