Seated Sisters

I am Åsa, social worker turned life coach, wheelchair user since birth, and the founder of Seated Sisters. Welcome to join us! That experience taught me a lot.

About Seated Sisters
I'm Åsa — social worker turned life coach, wheelchair user since birth, and the founder of Seated Sisters. I live with Goldenhar syndrome and spastic paraplegia. I've spent my career — over a decade as a social worker and now as a certified life coach — working with people who are navigating life in bodies the world wasn't quite designed for. But the thing that has shaped my work most isn't my education or my credentials. It's something I noticed in myself first, and then in nearly every wheelchair-using woman I've ever talked to. We say smaller versions of what we actually mean. Not because we don't know what we want to say. We know exactly what we want to say. We say the smaller version because somewhere along the way, we learned that the full response costs more than the silence. We manage the room instead of leading it. We adapt, minimize, accommodate — and we do it so automatically that it no longer feels like a choice. It just feels like who we are. It isn't. It's a pattern. And patterns can be interrupted. That's what Seated Sisters is built for. The Seated Method is a structured coaching framework specifically designed for women who use wheelchairs. It works through six mechanics — S.E.A.T.E.D. — that take you from recognizing your adaptation pattern, to repositioning how you show up, to consolidating that shift into something that holds in real life. Not just in theory. Not in a comfortable coaching exercise. In the actual situations where it matters: the medical appointments, the workplaces, the family dinners, the moments where you know what you want to say and say something smaller instead. This isn't motivational content. It isn't about thinking more positively or building generic confidence. It's specific, structured work for a specific and largely ignored experience. Inside the free Seated Sisters community on Skool, you'll find the framework, a 30-day pattern journal, an identity card deck, and a community of women working on the same thing. There's also a paid membership tier with deeper classroom modules, weekly working sessions, and direct coaching access — and for those who are ready to move faster, 1:1 coaching packages are available in limited spots. A little more about me:
My mornings start with coffee with milk — non-negotiable. I weightlift regularly because it matters for both my body and my independence. I get outside every day when the weather cooperates, and I have a well-documented weakness for good cheese and cake. I hold a magister degree in social work with specialization in services for persons with disabilities and the elderly. I am a Certified Life Coach, Writing for Transformation Coach, and Conversational Coach. I've spent most of my adult life advocating for people who are routinely asked to make themselves smaller, and I built Seated Sisters because the wheelchair-using women I know deserve work that takes their actual experience seriously. If this sounds like it's for you, I'd love to see you inside.

Sometimes the same thing keeps showing up in different parts of life.

You stay quiet in one situation because speaking up feels exhausting. In another, you agree to something that does not really suit you because changing the plan would take too much effort. Somewhere else, you let someone else’s assumption stand because correcting it feels like one more thing to manage.

The situations are different, but the response can start to feel familiar.

That is what we mean by a pattern inside Seated Sisters.

The point is not to blame yourself for how you learned to cope. It is to notice what keeps happening often enough that you can decide whether you still want to respond in the same way.

Inside Seated Sisters, we work with those real moments. You learn to see where the pattern shows up, what is actually true for you now, and what one different choice could look like in your own life.

If you have recognised yourself in these posts, this is the work waiting for you inside.

There is a strange thing that can happen when you use a wheelchair.
Someone asks the person beside you a question about you.
At a restaurant. In a shop. At an airport. At an appointment.

Sometimes it is as ordinary as, “What would she like?” when you are sitting right there.

You answer, the conversation corrects itself, and everyone moves on.

It may only take a few seconds, but the assumption underneath it is hard to miss. Somehow the wheelchair has told a complete stranger that another adult should speak for you.

Most people probably do not stop to think about what they are doing.

You notice.

Being seen as the person who owns her own life starts with something very basic: being treated as the person who is actually living it.

Sometimes people make the whole decision before they even speak to you.

They decide that the place will be too difficult, that the journey will take too much arranging, or that you probably would not enjoy it anyway.

Then they tell you the plan as though leaving you out was simply the sensible solution.

Perhaps they genuinely thought they were making things easier.

But easier for whom?

There is a big difference between asking whether you want to deal with the practical complications and deciding on your behalf that you should stay home.

You might have chosen not to go.

You might have decided the effort was not worth it.

But that decision was still yours to make.

There are times when you know something in your life needs to change, but that does not mean you know what the change should be.

You may have become so used to working around access, support, other people’s expectations and what seems realistic that it is difficult to separate what you actually want from everything you have learned to take into account.

That is where we work inside Seated Sisters.

You start by looking at your own life and noticing the patterns that have formed there. You begin to see where your choices are still yours, where old rules may be making decisions for you, and what deserves a closer look.

From there, you can take real next steps that make sense in the life you actually have.

Sometimes something disappears from your life so gradually that you barely notice when it happened.

Maybe you stopped gardening because the setup became awkward. Maybe getting to the allotment, reaching the beds, carrying things, or asking for help made it more effort than it was worth at the time.

So you stopped.

Then life moved on, and the decision was never really looked at again.

That does not mean you should start again now. It does mean the old reason may deserve another look.

Circumstances change. Access changes. Equipment changes. You change.

There may be things you still miss that have quietly been filed away under “that is not for me anymore.”

What is one thing you stopped doing that you have never really reconsidered?

A lot of life with a disability involves management.

You think about access before leaving home, arrange support around plans, keep track of transport, appointments and equipment, and work out what needs to happen for an ordinary day to function.

After years of doing this, it is easy for planning to become the starting point for almost everything.

But imagine, just for a moment, that none of those arrangements needed your attention.

Where would your mind go?

Maybe there is somewhere you would like to visit. Something you would like to learn. A change you have been thinking about. Or perhaps you simply realise that you have not asked yourself that question for a very long time.

You do not need to turn the answer into a plan.

Sometimes it is enough to hear what comes up before practicality gets involved.

What would you choose if, for a moment, nothing had to be managed?

23/07/2026

Sometimes a temporary arrangement stays much longer than anyone planned.

You stop doing something because access is difficult for a while. You accept a setup at home because it works well enough for now. You rely on one person for something because there is no better solution at the time.

Then life moves on, but the arrangement stays.

Months or years later, it can be hard to remember whether you still want it this way or whether everyone simply got used to it.

There may be good reasons to keep things exactly as they are.

But some parts of life deserve to be looked at again simply because the original circumstances have changed.

What in your life began as “for now” and quietly became “this is just how it is”?

22/07/2026

When you have spent years working around access, transport, support, other people’s schedules and what is realistically available, it becomes normal to start with the practical problem.

Can I get in?
Can I get there?
Who can help?
How much energy will this take?

Those are real questions. They matter.

But sometimes another question gets pushed so far down the list that you barely hear it anymore:

What do I actually want here?

Inside Seated Sisters, this is where we begin.

We look at the places where you automatically adapt, the rules you may be living by without choosing them, and what is actually true for your life now.

Then we work with one real situation at a time, so you can make clearer choices from your own compass and take realistic next steps that fit your actual life.

Sometimes you do have a preference.

You know where you would rather go. What time would suit you better. Which option would actually work best for you.

But then comes the calculation.

Will I need to explain why?

Will they think I am being difficult?

Will this turn into a whole discussion?

Do I have the energy for that today?

So you say, “Either is fine.”

And the decision gets made.

It may look like a small moment. But when this happens often enough, other people can slowly become the ones shaping more and more of your life simply because speaking up costs too much energy.

That is worth noticing.

Not so you have to fight every battle.

Just so you can see when “I don’t mind” is true, and when it really means, “I don’t have the energy for this.”

20/07/2026

You told them when you booked.

You wrote it in the form.

You explained that you need step-free access, enough space, an accessible toilet, or whatever else makes the place actually usable for you.

Then you arrive.

And somehow, you are explaining it all again.

Sometimes to a new person. Sometimes to the same organisation. Sometimes while everyone else is already getting on with what they came there to do.

After enough years, you can become very good at explaining clearly, calmly and politely.

But being good at it does not make it free.

It still takes time.

It still takes energy.

And sometimes the tiring part is not the access problem itself.

It is having to keep carrying the explanation with you.
