Our story so far...

In early 2024, Founder Katie Curnutte was desperately looking for support for her daughter with ADHD. Like many pre-teens, her daughter wasn’t super interested in hearing her mom’s advice, so she started looking for coaches.

She'd had great experiences with coaching, both as a former executive at Zillow and as an entrepreneur, and thought that maybe a coach could offer some strategies to make life a little easier. But finding one was an impossible task.

After a fruitless search for a coach in their area with an opening for a new client and experience working with Neurodivergent individuals — and disappointing experiences with coaches in other cities via Zoom — she decided to channel her frustration into motivation by changing the situation for their family and the broader ADHD community on Bainbridge Island.

Katie put out some feelers and connected with Rachel Cahill and Drory Ben-Menachem, two professionals with diverse backgrounds and tons of personal experience with Neurodiversity.

Rachel and Drory immediately resonated with the idea of building a skills coaching practice, and have joined as our founding coaches.

As a corporate leader, service design strategist, and serial mentor, Drory has nearly 30 years of experience leading teams and organizations. He was also the inspiration behind the Wagl name and the architect of our brand aesthetic.

As former teacher and social service worker, Rachel has over 10 years of experience in student guidance, classroom management, and youth advocacy. She also influenced our client-led strategy and connected the dots between the waggle dance of the bees and the neuroscience research that makes it the perfect metaphor for what we do.

Together, they are committed helping people (ages 10+) accomplish their goals with a combination of experience, education and care.

We are honored to share a space with Bainbridge Collaborative Counseling!
