Meet Jordan: The Heart Behind 8GK Consulting, LLC ❤️
In every meaningful venture, there’s a story—a why that lights the path forward. For me, that light shines brightest in the eyes of our son, Jordan. Jordan’s journey has never been a simple one.
Diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and multiple medical conditions, with sensory processing challenges woven into the mix, his path has demanded deep resilience, fierce advocacy, and unwavering love. As parents, my husband and I found ourselves diving headfirst into therapies, treatments, and holistic supports—driven not just by necessity, but by a profound desire to meet our son exactly where he was and help him thrive.
Through those years, something began to take root. Each clinical strategy we learned, every calming technique we discovered, and each sensory-friendly environment we created wasn’t just helping Jordan—it was transforming us. Our home became a sanctuary of growth, trial-and-error, and breakthroughs. And what began as survival slowly evolved into inspiration.
From those deeply personal experiences, 8GK Consulting, LLC was born. Named to reflect our family and the strength it takes to grow from within, 8GK is more than a company—it’s a heart-centered offering. We specialize in therapy, informed coaching and holistic wellness, weaving together trauma-aware frameworks, sensory-safe environments, and collaborative care.
What sets 8GK apart isn’t just clinical precision. It’s the soul of a parent who has held their child through medical crises, celebrated developmental milestones that others might overlook, and designed therapeutic spaces that radiate calm and connection. It’s the wisdom of lived experience, blended with a passion for guiding others—families, therapists, coaches, and healers—toward integrated, compassionate care. Jordan is my “why.” He’s not just the inspiration—he’s the teacher behind every decision, every service, every space we design. His courage anchors our mission, and his light reminds us why healing must be whole.
