Holly Couch
In addition to being a life and health coach for teens, young adults, and adults, I am in my fifth year of teaching yoga, mindfulness, positive human development, and conscious leadership in independent schools for neurodivergent (or as I like to call them, "Neurobrilliant" students. Planting the seeds of positive human development, compassion, empathy, loving-kindness, self-awareness, and wellness is more important than ever. I have practiced these principles with my own son since he was in kindergarten, and I firmly believe this is why he is thriving as a young adult. He was diagnosed with ADHD/Anxiety, Dyslexia, and what his therapist described as being “just off the spectrum.” I was determined to find natural and alternative solutions to help him on his journey. Yoga and mindfulness have played a significant role in his healing and personal growth journey.
I am certified and registered through The Yoga Alliance, RYT200, YogaEd Teen Yoga in Education, Mindful Schools, and JMT Life Coaching & Leadership. I have been teaching in a school setting for four years and have been coaching for over eight years through a private practice.

Having been driven to support and help people throughout his life, J.P. made the shift to Life and Leadership Coaching in 2021 after a 23-year successful career in education and education leadership. Having coached on the field, in the classroom, and in his office for the last 23 years, he began his journey into Life and Leadership Coaching over 10 years ago, creating leadership development programming at three different schools. J.P. has worked with both neurodivergent and neurotypical students throughout his career, culminating at a school for students with ADHD, Learning Differences, and Spectrum Disorder.
Together, with 30 combined years in education and mindfulness studies, we formed our life and leadership coaching company, Uncommon Education Company in 2022 with the intention of positively impacting teens and young adults, guiding them to cultivate self-awareness, kindness, compassion, values-based motivation, altruism, and gratitude.
