°✧ ABOUT ME ✼｡

| Meet the Founder of TRI-ASSIST |

Hi, I’m Sasha - annoyingly curious soul with a mind that could never fit in a box. I’ve describe myself as personal trainer, neurodivergent health coach, obsessive researcher or multidisciplinary AuDHD artist… but above all, I’m a lifelong problem solver.

| get to know my story |

Growing up queer and neurodivergent - long before I had the words to name it - I felt like I was constantly failing at being a person. Too sensitive. Too chaotic. Too inconsistent. I tried to follow the rules, set goals, stay productive, look the part - but everything was either leading to burnout or impossible to start in the first place.

What others described as “simple habits” felt like an uphill battle to me. Routines slipped through my fingers, goals I deeply cared about stayed out of reach, and shame clung to every small mistake. I found myself hiding behind different personalities, numbing the guilt of not living the life I truly wanted - a life powered by my passions and led by intuition.

And so I tried.

My weight fluctuated as often as my routines. I spent years bouncing between obsessive tracking and complete disconnection - trapped in endless cycles of unrealistic expectations and burnout.

Restriction. Then binging. Then guilt. Then purging.

I thought I lacked willpower. That I just wasn’t disciplined enough. But eventually, that so-called "discipline" turned into bulimia.

It wasn’t until I started discovering my neurodivergence that things began to shift. I realized I had spent all this time chasing "health" standards built on ableism, diet culture, and patriarchy. With more and more knowledge and experience, I started to see my path revealing itself - and from there, my confidence, curiosity, and self-love only grew.

When I started working with autistic and ADHD folks wanting to get in shape,

I realized that almost every one of us carried some version of the same wounds:

Goals rooted in shame, not desire.

Diet rules louder than body connection.

Deep sense of failure for not fitting a mold that was never made for us.

And so much more...

That’s why I created TRI-ASSIST.
Because this was never just about the gym routine or food...

It’s about coming home to yourself. Learning what you actually want and need.
Unlearning the lies and building a life that feels right, not just impressive.

I was overweight for most of my life. I was surviving on the only coping mechanism I knew - food. I ate when I was emotional, stressed, anxious, exhausted, or even just bored - to the point where every task switch came with a snack break. Food became my answer to everything. Being “the fat kid” became a kind of shield - a way to deflect judgment away from who I was and onto how I looked. A way to distract myself from the deeper pain. I thought, If I could just lose some weight, I’d finally fit in. Like many of us, I was taught that health meant thinness. That discipline meant self-worth. That if I just worked hard enough, restricted long enough, or shamed myself deeply enough…
I’d finally become someone lovable, accomplished, and in control.

I thought it was my secret fix - until it started stealing my life. In the process of “getting healthier,” I lost my period, my joy in cooking, movement, connection with friends, and with myself. Everything became just another task in pursuit of another aesthetic goal. Goal that was never truly mine - but shaped by media, family, bullies and a world that mocked the freedom of my body, my brain and my gender.

Even when I “succeeded,” it was never enough. I’d lose weight, get compliments and still feel too fat, too empty, too weird and anxious.

Because I was still at war with myself.

I wasn’t chasing health. I was chasing approval and safety. I thought I was weak. But the truth is, I was trapped in a cycle of shame and that had nothing to do with my strength, but everything to do with my sensitivity…

I challenged myself to stop prioritizing aesthetics and start focusing on regulation and peace. Eventually, I decided to become a personal trainer - not originally to coach, but to better understand my own body, exercise, and nutrition.

I fell in love with researching things about trauma-informed practices, nervous system regulation, holistic healing, and neurodiversity - later on experimenting with what I had learned in training to also make it work for ADHD and autistic people. Eventually I healed my relationship with food, worked out to feel stronger, and reconnected with my abandoned hobbies. Simply put it - I began treating my body like my best friend, not a punching bag to take things out on.

Health stopped being a performance, it became a reality.
A relationship rooted in joy, autonomy, and honesty - it allowed me to come back to my old interests and discover entirely new ones!

I even became a ski instructor! Something I never imagined possible.
I started regulating and coping through the things I love - things that actually moved me toward my goals, not away from them.

I still live in an AuDHD body. I still have hard days, shutdowns, relapses, cravings, and spirals. But now I meet those days with so much more love and understanding for myself. And that's what I want for you, alongside tools to manage the challenges of showing up with executive dysfunction. This space is built for people like us - people who were told they were too messy, too emotional, too slow or too lazy.

It’s not true! You’re not a failure. We all have been doing our best to survive in this cruel world. I want you to know that your lifestyle doesn’t have to be extreme to work. You are worthy of a life that supports you and actually loves you back. Thank you for being here. I’m proud of you already, and sending so much love your way!
