The Zelie Society

Small group coaching for Catholic moms of neurodivergent families.

Practical tools, prayerful support, and real solutions for the challenges you face.

Motherhood would require sacrifice – that much you understood.

But this path you’re walking – the vocation for which you’ve been chosen? It feels harder. More isolating. Like you’re building towers on shifting sand.

Sleep is elusive.

Socks and shoes are a struggle.

You stick out like a sore thumb at Mass.

You know your kids won’t just “eat when they’re hungry.”

You know epic meltdowns will follow the slightest change in plans.

Your kiddo is brilliant, but school is a massive struggle.

Your charming, charismatic info-dumper thrives in adult company but is overwhelmed by same age-peers.

It’s devastating to feel so stuck and lonely.

But what if you could

Meet weekly with a small group of moms who get it
Work through and alleviate real challenges in your family
Leave each session armed with clear, actionable steps to move forward

Welcome to The Zelie Society

Small-group coaching for Catholic moms of neurodivergent kids.

Zelie Society Square - The Zelie Society: Catholic Support For Neurodivergent Parenting

Named after St. Zelie Martin (the mother of St. Therese of Lisieux),
The Zelie Society upholds the sanctifying vocation of raising the unique and unrepeatable.

It’s solid transformation through a faithful, Catholic lens, led by author and educator Ginny Kochis

Meet Ginny

Hey, friend – I’m Ginny, Catholic mom to three twice-exceptional kids. For twenty years, I have raised my own neurodivergent children and educated countless more. I know what it’s like to raise kids who are wicked smart and creative and oh-so different –

I know what it’s like to feel like a failure as a mother, a stranger in your own skin.

But God is good, and His wisdom knows no bounds. Inspired by the example of St. Zelie Martin and the graces God showers on those He chooses to raise neurodivergent children, I founded The Zelie Society as a refuge and resource for moms walking their own exceptional path in motherhood. You aren’t alone. There are many, many moms and families out there just like yours. Through extensive research and my own personal experience, I’ve developed a host of resources for neurodivergent families. The Zelie Society is my flagship program for Catholic moms who feel overwhelmed and alone.

Inside the Zelie Society, you’ll find

The Zelie Society Catholic Support For Neurodivergent Parenting — Your small group, capped at ten.

The Zelie Society is right for you if

You feel overwhelmed by your child’s needs and want clear direction
You want faithful guidance that respects Catholic teaching;
You’re ready to work on your family’s current challenges,
You crave community with other moms walking the same road

In the Zelie Society,

we tackle the challenges that shape everyday life in neurodivergent families:

executive function struggles
emotional regulation and meltdowns
anxiety and perfectionism
evaluations, therapies, and medications
school decisions and accommodations
faith formation
marriage and family relationships
nutrition and mealtimes
parental self-care, and more

By the end of the three month period, many members experience greater confidence in their parenting decisions, calmer responses to meltdowns and anxiety, clearer communication with schools, therapists, and family, and renewed hope in their vocation as mothers.

what previous members are saying:

The resources, the conversations, the tips I can actually use – all of it makes such a big difference not only with the way I feel about my parenting, but in the actual peace we’ve achieved at home. I was always the odd woman out with “that kid.” I don’t feel like that anymore.

Zelie Society Mom
I honestly think my family has grown and changed faster in the past two months than we ever have before, and I’m grateful to you for providing a listening ear and words of advice and assurance through the process.

Zelie Society Mom
The video chats are sooo good! It’s an amazing opportunity to get targeted advice from women who have been where I am. You really can’t get much better than that.

Still not sure?

Here are some of my most frequently asked questions:

The Leonie Circle is a monthly membership focused on encouragement, prayer, and ongoing formation. The Zelie Society is a three-month coaching cohort where a small group of mothers work closely together to address real challenges in their homes. If you’re ready for deeper guidance and direct coaching, the Zelie Society is the right place.

Of course! Neither an evaluation nor a diagnosis is required to join. All you need is a willingness to grow and help your family thrive. Additionally, moms at any stage of life are welcome. Don’t shy away because your kids are “too young” or “too old.”

$100 per month for three months, and your spot in the cohort is just for you. If you’d like to gift a subscription (or receive one as a gift), just check the “This is a gift” option at checkout. If you’d like to join and feel the cost is prohibitive, please reach out to me via email. The cohort requires a three-month commitment, and bonds are formed between the members of the group. As a general rule, refunds are not offered. However, please reach out to me anytime your needs or circumstances change.

After you sign up, you’ll receive a welcome message via the email you used for payment. The message will include the information you need to log in to the Society. Coaching sessions are determined on a group basis, depending upon the availability of its members.
