Diana Machado Ciruolo is a mother of two neurospicy kids, a DEI educator and a social justice advocate. Her experiences growing up on the outside as a foster kid with neurodiversity have given her a unique understanding of humanness that informs her practice and her life. Di’s passion is freeing other humans from the guilt and self-harm that can come from trauma and loss and she has a love/hate relationship with public speaking.

Di loves her made-family, Fleetwood Mac, trotty dogs, and standing in the ocean with her wellies year ‘round. Di tries each day to embody the Dolly Parton quote: “Find out who you are and do it on purpose”. Di is married to her partner, Jay, and they enjoy a coastal grandmother lifestyle.
