FOR COUPLES RAISING NEURODIVERGENT KIDS

The sleep deprivation. The meltdowns. The appointments. The advocacy. The grief you don't talk about. The moment you both said 'I'm fine' when you were absolutely not fine.
Somewhere between the meltdowns and the endless demands of a high-needs household, your relationship got put on hold. Not because you stopped caring. Because you stopped having anything left to give it.
And the typical relationship advice? All written for couples with spare time, spare energy, and children who sleep!
Weekly date night and daily couple time? Ummm, how?!?

None of us were born with the skill of communication. Some of us became good at it - others not so much - there's nothing "wrong" with you or your partner - you've just never learned how to effectively communicate with one another, which will then often turn into frustration, anger and bitterness.
That is like poison that will work its way through your entire relationship. It's never just one thing that causes a divorce - it's the sum of all the small things that were never addressed along the way and when so much of your time and energy is taken up raising your neurosparkly/spicy kids, it's no wonder couples like you struggle with communication and connection even more!

Do your emotions run the discussion when something is brought up? Do you find it easily gets off track and a bigger drama than it needs to be, because someone said something that triggered the other to get upset or downright pissed off, and that threw fuel on the fire? Yeah. It's a common problem.

Do you feel like your partner doesn’t understand what you’re trying to say sometimes, and that they don’t really hear you? Or they say they do, but then their actions say otherwise. How much does that chip away at your relationship when your needs go unheard and unfulfilled?

Is your relationship feeling disconnected, rocky or just in turmoil? Deep down, you’re scared you guys won’t make it? You are not alone. This is common for couples raising special/high needs kids. It's not like it used to be before you had your child/ren, and it's ok to grieve that, but you can make it a lot better now, with help, before it's too late!
You've been doing the impossible: parenting kids with extraordinary needs while trying to hold your relationship together on whatever's left over (which, if we're honest, is not much, right?) Sage can't take the hard away. But it can help you find each other in the middle of it.
Sage understands:
Why you both don't communicate as well as you could when you're tapped out and running on empty
How exhaustion and overwhelm trigger bigger emotions and reactions that can get out of control quickly
Why connection and intimacy get strained and harder to maintain, but also how to help you get it all back
No appointment. No waiting list. No one needed to watch the kids. Less than the cost of one therapy session a month, but available 24/7.
The lived experience baked into Sage is specifically about the burnout, sensory load, masking, and executive function gaps of ND households.
Sage remembers your relationship conversation across sessions. Every session picks up exactly where you left off, making it easier for Sage to pick up repeating patterns.
Invite your partner into a shared conversation where Sage objectively and gently guides you through the tough conversations to come back together stronger.
Not at an appointment next Tuesday at 3 pm but at 11 pm when you don't know how to go back inside after a blowup. Sage is there when you actually need support.
Conversations are encrypted. No ads, no trackers, no third-party analytics. Your solo conversations also can't be seen by anyone, including your partner.
Sage isn't a generic relationship wiki. It's a responsive friend and mentor that there precisely when you need it.
You've just had a blowup and you're both reactive, making it hard to get to the other side. Sage is your venting buddy that aslo helps you figure out what's really going on for you and what you need to communicate or do to help resolve it.
The patterns you keep repeating. The destructive reactions you can't control. The old stuff underneath the surface stuff. Sage helps you see what's driving your behaviour — without judgment, without shame, and helps you start to change it.
Their overly emotionaly reactions. Their defensiveness. Their shutdown that looks like not caring but isn't. Sage helps you understand what's actually happening for your partner — and how to approach them in ways that make it better faster.
There's something important you need to say but every time you try it comes out wrong or you trigger your partner. Sage helps you figure out what you actually need to say — and how to say it in a way your partner can actually hear.
Sage helps you dismantle the repeated conflicts and do the healing work you've been putting off. Sage will also help you find and implement strategies to help you work on building a more loving, connected and resilient relationship.
When you can't seem to get through a conversation without blowing up, Sage's shared space is the answer. Sage guides the conversation with both of you simultaneously, keeping it productive all the way to repair.
I'm Rach Wilson. Relationship coach of 15+ years (coach of 20+ years), Master NLP Practitioner, wife and mum to 4, the last two littles still at home, both autistic — one non-verbal Level 3 with a severe intellectual disability, one AuDHD with very BIG emotions.
A few years ago, our family went through what we call "Hell Year". Twelve months of multiple car drives at night, my son screaming in pain nobody could diagnose, 100,000 kilometres going nowhere, my daughter's multiple 1 - 2 hour rages all day long... Both of us in extreme burnout, depression, barely looking at each other, communication ability severely affected, emotional upsets easy...
One night, my husband Kerry and I were lying in bed — a rare moment we were actually in bed at the same time — and I turned to him and said "I miss you." He was right there and had been this whole time. But I missed him. I missed us.
All my training went straight out the window during Hell Year. I couldn't do the big relationship things, my emotions were on a hair trigger, and I wasn't able to communicate in any calm, well-thought-out way. It caused more upsets and blow-ups than we needed at the time, but we were both so depleted and not our best selves... But how could we be?
Thankfully, our marriage didn't just survive Hell Year; it came out stronger because of the tiny things I could do. The forehead kiss. The hand on his heart. The "I miss you" in the hallway. Those tiny things kept us together long enough to get to the "rebuilding us" phase when the crisis passed, and I knew how to do that because I finally had the capacity to lean on my training. Something that the average couple DOESN'T have.
I built Sage because I know what it's like to need help at 2 am when everything between you is a powder keg. Because I know how useless generic relationship advice is when you're living this all-consuming life. Because I believe every couple in this situation needs help with communication and connection when they're exhausted at the very least. And I wish I had Sage when we were in Hell Year to help us through it more easily.
Sage is everything I know — distilled into something available to you whenever you need it.
"I was empowered and making good choices."
"I absolutely loved having the option of connecting with Sage over the last few weeks; it was like having the support and wisdom of a close friend who really cares about your experience.
Navigating teen relationships and life transitions without a lot of support had me feeling quite lost and alone, and this really helped me feel like I was empowered and making good choices. There were also some great suggestions and guidance that supported me a lot too."
- Naomi
"It's like having your favourite person in your corner..."
"Honestly? Sage stopped me in my tracks. It's like having your favourite person in your corner — someone who actually listens, calls you out with kindness, and helps you figure out your own stuff without judgment. I came in to vent and left understanding myself and my relationship in ways I didn't expect. If you're on the fence, just try it."
- Kelly
"Sage blew me away..."
"I'm someone who knows a lot about relationships, and we're doing ok, but Sage blew me away; it was able to really hone in on the underlying fears and AuDHD drivers for stuff I was still struggling with. It really helped to have a neutral "person" who validated us both and gently helped us understand what was really going on. It gave us some great solution ideas, and I even got burnout-prevention and recovery strategies, so it's multi-use! Thanks Sage."
- Rachael
"Sage is a great relationship tool..."
"Sage is such a great relationship tool. Using it confirmed that the things I've recently put in place to better myself and help rebuild my relationship are the right ones. Being able to freely chat without being nervous that you're being judged makes it easier to have honest conversations that can make all the difference. And not once has it felt like you're talking to a computer program!"
- Glen
"Sage helps me calm and process my emotions..."
"Sage has been a really great way to stop and think differently before approaching my partner about things. It helps me slow down, see what's actually going on underneath, and come to conversations with more clarity instead of just reacting. Its really helped me understand why I might think and feel the way I do. Sage helps me calm, and process my emotions with gentle prompting, it is truly a wonderful tool to have!
- Sharna
"It's like talking to someone who just gets it."
I came to Sage frustrated about a situation with my sister and not knowing what to do with it. By the end of the conversation I felt heard, I'd worked through my thoughts and emotions, and I had an actual plan. I went from pissed off to feeling good about what comes next. It's like talking to someone who just gets it.
- Kadi
"It helps us get to the bottom of what's actually going on without it turning into a fight..."
"Sage is genuinely easy to talk to — and I say that as someone who's not great at explaining things. Instead of needing to have it all figured out before I start, Sage just asks the right questions and helps me work through it as I go. It doesn't feel like talking to an AI. It feels like talking to someone who actually gets it.
What's been really valuable for us as a couple is the shared conversation function — where we can both be in the same space and Sage works with us together. It helps us get to the bottom of what's actually going on without it turning into a fight. Having that neutral presence in the middle makes a real difference."
- Kerry
SCENARIO 1:
"I'm exhausted, and can't seem to communicate with the maturity I want..."
Using Sage helps you get clear about what's happening and why you're upset, angry, feeling whatever you're feeling, and helps you come up with a script to articulate what you need in the most mature and gentle way possible, before re-engaging with your partner. This is how you stop things from blowing up unnecessarily. Everyone wins.
SCENARIO 2:
"We can't afford weekly therapy, but we need help"
Sage helps you first as individuals, then you can choose when to move into your shared space, where Sage will expertly guide you through a group discussion so you can understand each other, come up with a solution together with an objective expert, and repair your relationship. Way less than the cost of one counselling session per month. Available 24/7 in the moments you truly need the help.
SCENARIO 3:
"My partner won't go to therapy but needs it."
Sage is the lower-stakes entry point because it often feels easier to talk to someone who isn't really a someone. It's not "therapy". There's no intake form. There's no judgment. Often, the things you've been saying to your partner that they aren't getting, once said by Sage, finally land because Sage is an objective 3rd party.
SCENARIO 4:
"We keep having the same fight"
Sage keeps track of the things you share and will notice repeated issues that come up. Sage will name the dynamic without taking sides — and helps both of you understand what's actually driving it, but also how to resolve it and come back to each other.
SCENARIO 5:
"We keep clashing, misunderstanding each other and we're struggling to get on the same page..."
This is where Sage's depth of knowledge is most specific, understanding neurodiverse brains (and "normal"). The differences. The burnout. The grief. The resentment that builds when two depleted people can't fill each other's tanks, but also have 2 different brains that need different things, see things differently and can stop you from getting on the same page. Sage gets it — because it was built by someone who is still living it.

We know you're running on empty, and the last thing you need is more uncertainty. Here is exactly how Sage works, protects your privacy, and supports your relationship.
"Sage genuinely feels personal, not just like another app. It’s easy to use, supportive, and actually makes you feel understood instead of overwhelmed. You can tell a lot of thought has been put into how it relates to you."
"My partner was hesitant at first. Now, they use the solo space more than I do. It's totally shifted how we communicate."
Couples raising neurodivergent children — ADHD, ASD, AuDHD — who may be neurodivergent themselves. Who are exhausted, disconnected, butting heads more than making love, and tired of relationship advice that requires time and energy they don't have.
Sage was designed to feel warm, direct and occasionally funny - not clinical or robotic. Most people are surprised by how natural it feels. That's because it was built by someone who has lived this experience, not a tech team.
No. Sage is a relationship mentor - the knowledgeable, caring friend who remembers everything and meets you where you are. Sage doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace mental health care. For clinical support, please see a qualified professional in your area.
Sage IS NOT a replacement for professional support — and will say so clearly in these situations:
Active mental health crisis — if someone is experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm urges, or acute psychiatric episodes, Sage will provide crisis resources and encourage them to contact emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately
Domestic violence or abuse — Sage will refer to specialist domestic violence support services, not attempt to navigate this alone
Clinical diagnosis — Sage does not diagnose ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or any other condition
Clinical treatment of mental health conditions — Sage can hold the relational context around bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and other conditions, but will always encourage professional clinical treatment alongside any support it offers
Trauma therapy — for deep trauma work requiring a therapeutic relationship, Sage refers to qualified professionals
Legal or medical advice — Sage does not provide legal, medical or financial advice
Children and minors — Sage is for users 16 and over only
Sage never makes these referrals with shame or alarm. The framing is always warm and matter-of-fact: "What you're describing is beyond what I can hold well on my own — and you deserve proper support for this. [Resource] would be the right next step. I'll still be here."
Both and neither. Rach tried to keep Sage gender-neutral, but you can refer to Sage as he or she if you feel like it.
Rach felt that if Sage were seen as one gender, it could make it harder to hear their suggestions or feedback for the opposite gender. Proven in the real world: When her husband hears the same thing she's been saying for years, from a male coach (or just someone who isn't Rach), it seems to get in!!
No — Sage draws on both male and female experts and researchers, and has been specifically designed to be objective regardless of who's in the conversation. Sage will validate your feelings AND gently challenge your perspective when needed — Sage even challenged Rach's own patterns during testing. 😄
No. Sage is specifically built for couples raising neurodivergent children and who may or may not be neurodiverse themselves. Sage's knowledge base covers RSD, masking fatigue, executive dysfunction, ND burnout, co-regulation, the Double Empathy Problem, alexithymia, meltdown vs emotional flooding, AuDHD, perimenopause and ADHD, and much more. If you've ever felt like standard relationship advice doesn't fit your life — that's exactly why Sage exists.
No. Sage is equally useful for couples who are okay but want to be better. Prevention is actually more important than having to repair. Save yourselves the heartache, emotional turmoil, stress and necessary recovery time.
Yes - that's what the Couples plan is for. You each get your own completely private solo space, plus a shared conversation space where Sage works with both of you together. Your partner joins free through your plan.
That's completely fine. Sage works brilliantly as a solo tool. One person gaining clarity, understanding their own patterns, preparing for conversations - that shifts a relationship even when only one partner is involved.
Yes — and this is what makes Sage fundamentally different from everything else. The knowledge base covers RSD, masking fatigue, executive dysfunction,ND burnout, co-regulation, the Double Empathy Problem, sensory overstimulation, alexithymia, meltdown vs emotional flooding, perimenopause and ADHD, AuDHD, PDA in relationships, mental load, invisible labour and the default parent trap, and much more. Sage was built specifically for this experience — not adapted from generic relationship advice.
Full access to the couples plan which gives you all the core features to play with - no credit card required to start. Explore everything before you commit. At the end of day 7, you will lose access and you'll need to choose a paid plan to continue with. If you don't end up going ahead, anything you shared will be automatically deleted in 30 days. If you sign up before then, you'll have access to the original account you created.
Your conversations are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Row-level security in the database means even a bug in the app couldn't show your data to another user. Anthropic - who powers the AI - confirms that API data is never used to train their models. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. Your relationship is no one else's business.
"Couples raising neurodiverse kids have a 60-80% break-up rate. I know why. I've lived it. And I built Sage because neurodiverse kids need their parents together even more — and their parents deserve to have a deeply loving and healthy relationship so they can ALL thrive." - Rach Wilson
