ADHD Coaching: About Lora

My mission is simple: help parents, teachers, and families understand ADHD with real tools - not textbook advice that doesn't survive a Tuesday morning. 

Families affected by ADHD are exhausted. They've been advised to try sticker charts, time-outs, and rigid routines that often fall apart by Wednesday. They've been told their child is 'too much' or 'not trying.' As an ADHD educator, I’m here to offer something different: practical ADHD strategies rooted in neuroscience and lived experience, delivered without shame, in language that actually fits real life. 

Every parent deserves to feel like someone understands them. That's the support for ADHD families that I'm building.

I'm an ADHD educator, coach, and speaker with over 20 years of instructional experience. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Mount Saint Vincent University and have completed coursework in ADHD coaching through the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA). Currently, I work full-time as an Indigenous Support Worker with the Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE), providing support for ADHD families and students across both elementary/junior high and high school settings. 

My work integrates three key aspects that most ADHD content tends to keep separate: the neuroscience of how ADHD brains function, the lived experience of being an ADHD parent to two daughters with ADHD, and the practical ADHD strategies that I incorporate into every workshop, video, and coaching session.

 I am also trauma-informed (Autism Nova Scotia), trained in Indigenous Mental Health, and certified in Mental Health First Aid for Veterans and Military Families. As a Métis, Two-Spirit educator, my work is grounded in cultural humility, emotional safety, and anti-shame practice. 

Over the past six years, I've worked with more than 10,000 parents, teachers, therapists, and physicians across 50 countries through my work as The ADHD Mama on TikTok and Facebook. I've delivered hundreds of hours of live training and reach over 2 million viewers each year.

The people I serve include: 

Parents of ADHD kids (diagnosed, awaiting diagnosis, or suspected) who are tired of advice that doesn't work; ADHD educators looking for effective ADHD strategies that don't rely on punishment or rigid behaviour systems; therapists, social workers, family doctors, and pediatricians who want trustworthy ADHD parent resources to refer their clients to; and adults with ADHD who are also raising ADHD kids and need support for ADHD families that addresses both.

Whether you're in Dartmouth/Halifax, Nova Scotia, or anywhere else in the world - if you're navigating ADHD, you're welcome here.
