About Down To Earth Coaching
Hi there!
I'm Pattie Archuleta, a certified professional life coach, workshop facilitator, and advocate for families of children with disabilities, neurodivergence, or mental health challenges.
As the parent of a neurodiverse young adult with autism and a history of pediatric epilepsy, I draw on my lived experience to guide my work.
I hold individual and group sessions, both in-person and online, helping parents feel empowered, build confidence, and create the lives they envision.
My Story
My son, Eli, was 18 months old when he started having seizures. Neurologists where we lived in rural Arizona diagnosed a rare form of epilepsy that caused him over 100 seizures per day. It was life-threatening and it changed everything. Our lives turned upside down overnight. It took five failed medications and over a year to finally find a successful treatment, the ketogenic diet for pediatric epilepsy at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore.
When Eli was four he was also diagnosed with autism and I then learned how to navigate early intervention, special education, and health care advocacy. School-age and adolescence brought more diagnoses and challenges. Eli is now a young adult, and our family has learned how to enjoy life with his special needs. From the difficult to the inspirational, everything about parenting him has shaped who I am today.
What I didn’t know back then was that this journey would launch me into a career that inspires and brings hope to others. I’m excited you’re here and would be glad to walk with you for a while.

The story behind the symbol
This symbol is a southwestern version of the Phoenix, a mythological creature known for rising from the ashes and rebirth. It speaks to my journey raising my son and reinventing myself and my family time and again.
