Meet our newest service provider, Catriona Misfeldt, a Certified Executive Functioning Coach.⁠
⁠
Catriona brings over 36 years of experience as a K–12 educator, specialeducation teacher, curriculum consultant, and school leader. She holds a Master’s in Leadership from the University of Oregon and a Bachelor of Education in Special Education from the University of British Columbia. She is a certified Executive Function Coach (training via the Executive Function⁠
Coaching Academy), a Level 2 PBIS (Positive Behaviour Interventions &; Supports) Coach, and a certified AntiBoring Learning Coach.⁠
⁠
In her career, Catriona, has supported students across all grade levels—from kindergarten through graduation. This gives her a broad and deep understanding of the skills, mindsets, and supports students need to succeed—especially during key transitions such as entering high school or preparing for postsecondary pathways.⁠
⁠
Catriona specializes in working with neurodiverse teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She scaffolds students in strengthening essential executive function skills—such as time management, organization, task initiation, and planning ahead—so they arrive to school or programs feeling capable, confident, and empowered. She works in- person or online.⁠
⁠
As a stepmum to a neurodivergent young adult, Catriona, brings not only her professional expertise but lived experience to her coaching practice. She understands the unique challenges families face when systems don’t always align with how a neurodiverse learner processes, plans, and succeeds. Her approach is compassionate, strategic, and tailored—offering families⁠
realworld tools, hope, and connection.⁠
⁠
Using a proven system, Catriona, helps students build a personalized toolbox of strategies that support their learning and growth—not just in school, but in life.⁠

⁠
Over the last few months, I have been reflecting on the progress and changes made at the centre. When we opened our doors in May 2022, the centre was quiet and we were working hard to connect with parents and service providers to fill our space. ⁠

Meet Michelle Karren, our new Behaviour Analyst at This World's Ours Centre.⁠
⁠
Michelle Karren, M.Sc., BCBA, is a Vancouver-based behaviour analyst and founder of Esprit Learning, where she partners with families, schools, and community teams to support autistic, ADHD, gifted, and demand-avoidant learners. Over more than 25 years, Michelle has developed a neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-centred practice that replaces pressure with flexible⁠
structure, reduces uncertainty, and protects autonomy while still moving daily routines forward.⁠
⁠
A parent who has navigated raising ASD and ADHD learners, Michelle brings empathy and practicality to every conversation, reframing behaviour from the child’s perspective and modeling collaborative problem-solving families and educators can use right away. She offers 1:1 sessions for ages 3–13 in North Vancouver (office near Lonsdale Quay) and East Vancouver (at This World’s Ours), along with parent coaching, school consultation, and professional workshops for educators and clinicians.⁠
⁠
Michelle regularly presents to schools and community organizations and works closely with teachers and support staff to bridge home–school plans, especially during transitions such as the start of kindergarten.⁠

We are welcoming Julia Healey, an Occupational Therapist, to our team at This World's Ours Centre.⁠
⁠
Read about Julia below:⁠
⁠
My name is Julia Healey and I'm an Occupational Therapist. I have worked as an Occupational Therapist since 1996 taking a short break to complete another degree in 2006. I graduated from Queen's University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy (BScOT) and my second degree is a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MA). I have worked in many different settings (schools, homes, hospitals, & community programs) and with a variety of ages (babies to elderly) and physical, cognitive and/or mental health conditions. I have worked as an Occupational Therapist for Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) for over 20 years and currently work with youth with mental health conditions and/or social, emotional or behavioural difficulties for VCH Child & Youth Mental Health Services. I also offer private OT services as a contractor through This World's Ours Centre. If a youth is eligible for VCH CYMH services, they may be able to access OT services for free through this publicly-funded community resource; otherwise, a referral for private OT services can be made through This World's Ours Centre. In addition to mental health difficulties, many of the youth that I work with are neurodivergent and are diagnosed with or are being assessed for Autism, ADHD, FASD and/or learning disabilities. I assist youth by helping them engage in meaningful daily activities that they need and/or want to do (e.g. self-care, life skills, recreation, socializing, emotional regulation, school, work, chores, & post-secondary/career development activities). I have taken additional training over the years and most recently completed training in sensory processing, executive functions, PEERS social skills, and CBT-ARFID. My OT colleague (Grace Liu) and I will be offering a PEERS social skills training group for youth (ages 13 to 18) starting in February 2026. To obtain additional information or be referred to our PEERS social skills training group, please email Grace and I at the following email address: peersOTprivate@gmail.com.
