About Understory -
Steady Support Beneath the Surface
My work is grounded in both professional experience and lived understanding.
I know what its like to carry a lot - to be the one coordinating, advocating, and holding everything together while navigating systems that don't always make sense.
That's why the way I support people is different.
I don't add pressure or overwhelm.
I don't expect you to fit into rigid processes.
Instead, I work alongside you - helping you make sense of what's in front of you, reduce the load where possible and find a way forward that feels sustainable.
The person behind Understory
Trish Cannon
Family Support & Systems Navigator
Understory is a solo practice, shaped by both professional work and lived experience supporting neurodivergent children and navigating complex systems.
I bring a calm, grounded approach to support - focusing on clarity, sustainability, and what actually works in real life.
