About Marla

It has been over 16 years since I began my career as a coach, educator and consultant. I provide coaching and education to individuals and groups affected by AD/HD through my company, Cummins Coaching and Training. 

I am dedicated to offering individuals with ADD / ADHD support through individual and group coaching, as well as through my teaching and speaking. I have presented workshops and taught classes through the Attention Deficit Disorder Association, and Attention Deficit Disorder Resources. The value that my clients and people who attend my seminars receive is best illustrated by their own words.

My company was founded based on my desire to help people with AD/HD find their place and reach their goals. My mission is to help college students and adults with AD/HD uncover their priorities and passions and design an easier path to achieve their goals.

In order to help my clients to the best of my ability, I am dedicated to my own professional growth as a Certified Coach, specializing in AD/HD Coaching. Toward this end, I completed training, both the Core Co-Active Coaching and Certification programs, through The Coaches Training Institute, which is accredited through the International Coach Federation. I also took the courses, “Coaching Students with AD/HD: Levels I and II,” at Landmark College, as well as “Coaching Teens & College Students with ADHD” through the Edge Foundation.

I continue to develop professionally, in part, through my affiliations with the Attention Deficit Disorder Association ( ADDA), Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD ), ADHD Coaches Organization (ACO), Institute for the Advancement of AD/HD Coaching (IAAC) and the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Prior to starting my company, I taught middle school and high school and, subsequently, provided academic support to students at Boston University. In my role at Boston University, I coached students individually, oversaw a peer tutoring program and created and presented workshops.

My BA is in economics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and my MS is in Experiential Education and Leadership from the University of Minnesota-Mankato.
