The ADHD Musician
Hyperfocus is your superpower—until it isn't.
ADHD makes the "boring stuff" of musician life feel impossible. BUT we provide the structure you need to stay in the flow state and actually release your art.
Built by neurodivergent musicians, for neurodivergent musicians.

unifinished demos
overcommiting to gigs, and
feeling deep rejection when you get some negative feedback

Kensley not only has a passion (and undeniable expertise!) for performing arts health, but she is one of the best communicators and project partners I’ve ever worked with. Together, we published the first National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded booklet on performing arts health and showcased it at the Texas Music Educators Association. We look forward to working with her when we can, and I would highly recommend her as an educator or for whatever your professional needs may be related to musicians’ health.

Hey, I’m Kensley
Musicians’ Health Researcher + Clarinetist + Gymnastics Expert (as in I won an Emmy for my work at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games).
Kinda screams ADHD doesn't it?
I had always been successful in music school until I began my Ph.D. The lack of structure was a struggle for me and I floundered until one of my professors suggested I get tested for ADHD. When I got tested for, and was diagnosed with ADHD, I was able to receive the type of accomodations needed to thrive, and I graduated in less time than every other colleague in the program.
I've now put my research skills to good use and made a course just for you, so you don't have to struggle!
I understand what it's like to zone out in music history. To struggle to bring basic tools to class (I know you've forgotten a pencil in rehearsal too!). And to feel that deep sense of rejection when a professor has a critique for your performance (hello rejection sensitive dysphoria!) There's no judgement here.
I too struggled until I got the accomodations I needed.
And now:
-
I consult with clients all over the world
-
I give masterclasses on musicians' health
-
I have literally helped save musicians’ careers
And there’s nothing else I’d rather do. So let me help you be the best version of you!
