Meet Your Coach

Empowering neurodivergent individuals to thrive socially, academically, and emotionally.
Hi, I’m Rian Pelati, proud founder of Pelati Coaching and Holistic Academy, and Asperger’s South Africa, a vibrant and supportive community dedicated to neurodivergent individuals and their families.
With over 14 years of heartfelt professional experience as an international holistic therapist and coach, I’m a fully certified Master Life Coach, Mindfulness Teacher, Neurodivergent Support Specialist, and Reiki Master Teacher. My passion lies in providing compassionate coaching, mentorship, and practical tools tailored specifically to the needs of individuals with Aspergers, autism, and ADHD.
My approach is not just professional—it’s deeply personal. As someone who has navigated life with Aspergers, OCD, and ADHD myself, I intimately understand the unique challenges and the incredible strengths we share. My mission is to create a nurturing and empowering space where neurodivergent individuals and their families can thrive, embracing both their unique challenges and their extraordinary strengths.
For over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to guiding clients towards greater clarity, confidence, and joy, empowering neurodivergent adults to cultivate meaningful careers and relationships, and helping families create harmonious and supportive environments.

I am proudly accredited by the Complementary Therapists Accredited Association, International Association of Therapists, American Union of NLP, and the American Psychological Association, among others. These credentials affirm my ongoing dedication to excellence, continuous learning, and compassionate client care.
If you’re a neurodivergent individual, a parent, caregiver, or teacher seeking clarity, guidance, and empathetic support, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s embark on this empowering journey together, overcoming challenges and celebrating each victory along the way.

I consistently enhance my training and expertise as the fields of life coaching and understanding of ASD and ADHD progress.
