Employment Services

We will help you format your resume and match you with those in our network who are autists with hiring needs.

Skin Care

As autists are hypersensitive, we have formulated custom body butters, face scrubs, lip scrubs, body scrubs, and toner with all natural ingredients.

Autism Birthday Parties

We offer airbrush makeup / airbrush tattoos, using a low pressure, low noise compressor. Our services have been volunteered at autism related events such as the Autism Speaks Central Florida Walk. The colors we use are highly pigmented, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic.

Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy

Additional services include makeup artistry and photography. Our photographer and makeup artist offers a program to facilitate increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy. She offers cognitive restructuring and a makeup and photography session to those with low self-esteems. To qualify for a free makeup and photography session, contact your mental health provider. If you do not have one, there are a few in our network.

Mobile Services

Exercise anytime anywhere. Mobile personal trainer services are available at your location! Homes, offices, parks, video conferencing, and online, making it convenient for you. If you are autistic or have a cognitive or neurological disorder, why not work with someone who understands how you experience the world?

What is autism?

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”), autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) pertains to “a group of complex neurodevelopment disorders characterized by repetitive and characteristic patterns of behavior and difficulties with social communication and interaction.”

What are symptoms or signs of ASD?

Symptoms and signs include, but are not limited to:  over focus on certain objects; social impairment; communication difficulties; avoidance of eye contact; and insistence of consistent routine, activities, and/or environment.

What is attention deficit hyper activity disorder?

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (“NIMH”), attention deficit hyper activity disorder (“ADHD”) “is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.”

What are symptoms or signs of ADHD?

Symptoms and signs include, but are not limited to:  fidgeting; running, dashing, or climbing; inability to engage in activities quietly; constant motor functioning “as if driven by a motor” (NIMH), constant talking, and interrupting; inattention to details, careless mistakes; inattention to tasks, conversations, etc.; not following through on instructions or failure to complete tasks; rapid loss of focus, easily sidetracked.

What do autism and ADHD have in common?

Both autism and ADHD involve motor function overstimulation.  Due to great patience required to care for persons with autism and ADHD, many often overlook simple therapies and modalities such as exercise.  As such, these individuals may lack fitness and the confidence to engage in sports and physical activities.

Why is exercise important for autism and ADHD?

Exercise expends the energy of motor functioning affected by autism and ADHD.  As such, symptoms tend to decrease.  Several research studies have provided empirical evidence, supporting positive effects of exercise on persons with autism and ADHD.  Additionally, regular exercise helps improve lipid profiles, decrease resting heart rate, decrease depression, increase cardiorespiratory endurance, and facilitate more efficient use of physiological energy systems.
