Your Three Foundations
Holistic wellness centered around your individual goals.
Physical
Clients explore how movement fits into their lifestyle and build routines that support long-term health.
Nutrition
Clients use real-life cooking experiences to build nutrition understanding, confidence, and healthy decision-making.
Social & Emotional
Live coaching and a private online community where adults with IDD and autism practice social skills, emotional regulation, and connection at their own pace.
Our Mission
Solving the quality of life crisis for adults with disabilities.
iThrive brings InControl's coaching philosophy — the Three E's — into a calm, accessible daily practice adults can own themselves.
Educate
8-part lessons across the three pillars, taught in plain language with video, audio, and captions on by default.
Engage
Daily check-ins, live community coaching, and peer connection with adults with IDD and autism climbing at their own pace.

Habits that stick — visible mountain progress, warm celebration, and shared visibility for coaches and caregivers.

Founder Story
“What happens when they turn 21?”
While supporting students on accessible transportation one summer, Kelsey Joson kept coming back to one question: who is caring for adults with disabilities after they age out of the school system?
That question became InControl — a coaching practice built around three pillars of wellness: physical activity, nutrition, and social/emotional growth. iThrive is the community: live coaching, peer connection, and daily practice for adults with IDD and autism.
Kelsey Joson, Founder + CEOB.S. Kinesiology; M.Ed. in Physical Education, Health Education, and Developmental Adapted Physical Education.
iThrive helped me find a rhythm that works for my sensory needs. I feel stronger and more connected than ever — and the app doesn't feel like it's for kids. It feels like it's for me.
