Hi, I’m Heidi Shoemaker-Burnett, the founder of Elevate Coaching & Advocacy. I am driven by helping others to success and I’m passionate about empowering individuals with the tools and support they need to thrive. With over 18 years of experience in special education, advocacy, and executive functioning coaching, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve their fullest potential.

As an advocate, I work closely with families and schools to ensure students receive the services and accommodations they need. I understand how overwhelming navigating the education system can be, and I’m here to help you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

In my coaching practice, I focus on developing essential executive functioning skills—time management, organization, goal setting, and emotional regulation—that are key to lifelong success. My approach is strengths-based and tailored to each client’s unique needs, helping them turn obstacles into opportunities.

Above all, I believe that everyone deserves to feel capable, understood, and valued. My goal is to create a supportive space where growth happens and victories, big or small, are celebrated.
