I’m Diane O’Reilly, a Life Coach specializing in ADHD and Addiction Recovery. With ADHD myself and over three decades in recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder, my passion for helping others is deeply rooted in my own hard-won experience.
I spent over 20 years of my life struggling with untreated ADHD and addiction, weighed down by the shame, fear, and failure that came with them. Through my journey of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, I’ve discovered what my brain and body truly needed to heal and thrive. With the support of others like me, I broke through the internal and external barriers holding me back. Today, I’ve reclaimed my sense of self and live free from the limits and labels that once kept me stuck. I now live with purpose, passion, and serenity.
This journey has ignited a fire within me to share what I’ve learned—to help others reclaim the lost parts of their lives and to empower them to create a life filled with freedom, hope, and fulfillment.
'You are Not Supposed to Know... You are Supposed to be Shown!'
As a Life Coach with lived experiences of both addiction and ADHD, and certifications in ADHD Coaching (ADDCA), Addiction Recovery Coaching (IAPRC), Recovery Coach Professional (RCP, CCAR), Certified Clinical Recovery Coach (CCRC), and a Shambhala-trained Mindfulness Meditation Guide. As such I’m uniquely qualified to guide those who need someone who deeply understands both.
ADHD and Addiction Recovery Coaching is highly personalized and practical, helping you move forward in a meaningful way.
I live in Toronto, Coaching people nationally and internationally from my home office. In my spare time, I enjoy creative pursuits, puzzles and hiking with my dog Lula, and have recently joined the hordes in discovering the joy of Pickleball!

What my clients say...
Diane helped me realize my issues with codependence, which I was unaware of, and how to implement self care and clear boundaries. This will be a lifetime practice, due to the strong pattern of codependence I have. But I’m fortunate that Diane identified this and helps me implement the practices needed in order to feel my own worth and take care of my own needs.

Life became extremely busy after our session, largely due to the spectacular success of the strategies you gave me to get unstuck. Not only did I get things moving, but I had major breakthroughs in just about every area of my life.
You, Diane, are spectacular, your knowledge and communication skills are aspirational!

Honestly, tonight truly felt so amazing, it’s one of the nights that no matter where I land, it’s something I will always remember. All of this is because of you, I was in a dark hole with a variety of things clashing in at once, and you helped me to push myself forward, I can’t thank you enough.
