Meet Shelley L’Green
Occupational Therapist helping families understand ADHD from the inside out.
I believe girls with ADHD deserve to grow up understanding their brain and body from the inside out, not questioning their worth.
And families deserve support that feels steady, respectful, and grounded in science. That is why this work matters to me.
Where This Began
Hi, I’m Shelley L’Green — OT for over a decade, diagnosed with ADHD at nine, and now raising girls who remind me daily why this work matters.
As a girl, I was sensitive, sensory-seeking, and often misunderstood. I talked too much. Fidgeted too much. Bit my nails. Forgot things. Tried so hard to get it right and fit in.
I learned to adapt quickly. To mask. To push through.
I often felt too much or not enough, without having the language to explain why.
There was no shared framework for girls like me.
Motherhood brought that into sharp focus. I began to see how differently ADHD can show up in girls and women, especially through emotional intensity, masking, sensory overload, people-pleasing, and the quiet pressure to cope while searching for a place to belong in the world.
Understanding my own nervous system, and how ADHD shaped my regulation, reframed everything.
How I Support Families
Today, I support families raising girls with ADHD to understand what is happening beneath behaviour.
Together, we explore nervous system patterns, sensory preferences, executive function, and emotional regulation in ways that feel practical and empowering.
This might look like understanding why your daughter explodes after school but holds it together all day, or why homework ends in tears even when she is very capable.
This is not about fixing your girl. It is about helping families understand each other more clearly, respond earlier, and build steadier rhythms at home.
When ADHD girls and their families understand the nervous system from the inside out, they create the safety and connection that allow confidence, capacity, and resilience to flourish.
