My passion for helping people with learning challenges grew out of my concern for my own child, whose struggles were formidable. She and the school system were failing each other and I embarked on a mission to find a better solution. My search led me to read “The Gift of Dyslexia,” by Ronald D. Davis, which set us on a course that has profoundly impacted my entire family.
We were willing to travel to another state so my daughter could work with a wonderful Davis facilitator who taught her how to control her dyslexia and unlock her learning potential. After her program, her improvement was so drastic she didn’t even test like the same child. (I didn’t know that kind of immediate and drastic improvement was even possible!) I was deeply impressed by the Davis Methods and ultimately decided to get licensed to help the many others that I knew needed help here in Utah.
As a professional, my work as a licensed Davis facilitator has been enormously rewarding. At the beginning of a program, I start with a wonderful person who feels broken, defective or stupid and help them see and tap into their true potential. That transformation of thought about one’s self and what is possible for them is incredible to be a part of and watch. By the end of a program, my clients feel able to achieve anything they set their minds to accomplishing. Rather than feeling controlled and defined by their “DISabilities” they see themselves as smart, possessing amazing “abilities” capable of doing hard things.
As a mother, the decision to get licensed in the Davis methods has continued to bless my family as all three of my children have turned out to be gifted dyslexic thinkers! Learning how to control their perceptions and get rid of the disorientations that caused their learning challenges has been nothing short of a miracle for all of us. The Davis methods work better than anything else I’ve found in overcoming the challenges associated with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, ADD and ADHD.
I would love the opportunity to meet you and discus how I might be of service to you and/or your child. Please call me. The call will change your life!

Grace spent two years in Special Education Services for learning disabilities in reading and math, and we saw little progress despite amazing teachers. We decided to look for outside options. Stephanie almost instantly established a safe, trusting atmosphere for Grace to learn and express herself. Grace’s grandmother taught second grade for 30 years and was astounded at the progress Grace made with the Davis program. Stephanie helped her unlock her abilities, and she is now reading on grade level in 3rd grade.

We felt our daughter might be a good candidate for the Davis program but didn’t have a provider close enough for us in Florida. When we came to Utah to visit family for the holidays we contacted Stephanie on a whim and she was so fantastic to work with! She was very sympathetic and understood our concerns. She knew we didn’t have any other option at home and rearranged her own Christmas break to provide a week long program for our daughter. I felt like Stephanie knew my feelings as a mother and responded with a course of action as if it was her daughter. Stephanie is very professional and knowledgeable. My husband and I learned just as much as our daughter and finished the program feeling more confident to be able to help our daughter succeed. Stephanie is kind and patient, my daughter truly enjoyed every minute and developed a close friendship with Stephanie. I am so thankful we were able to do the Davis program with Stephanie! I would recommend her without hesitation!!!

Thank you for the program! It has been very useful the past year. I was finally able to get my drivers license! I also have a job now and I’m looking into courses at the community college. I really liked the way that you taught the visual learning and the making the words with clay. They were really effective with how I learn. One of the biggest improvements for me has been being aware of the passage of time. I don’t spend hours playing video games any more and believe it or not, I am on time now! This will help me at work. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for me.

The investment of both time and money was a worthwhile sacrifice for our family. My 7-year-old son and I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for two weeks for a Young Learner’s Reading Program. The experience was truly life changing for him. My son gained tools and skills that have helped him to excel academically in ways I never thought possible. He uses these tools daily, both in and out of school, and his self-confidence has grown tremendously. An unexpected result of the program was that Stephanie was even able to help him stop wetting the bed! I would recommend Stephanie and the Davis programs to anyone who feels that they are ready to embrace a positive change in all aspects of their life.

I see things in my brain in 3-D. I used to think that was normal and I couldn’t understand why school was so hard for me. Words mixed up on me and I couldn’t spell at all. I did a Dyslexia Correction program a year ago. It helped me understand the way my brain works and how to work with it. Now those things aren’t hard anymore. I have made the honor role every term this year! Being able to read is so important. I actually think being Dyslexic is awesome because my brain allows me to do remarkable, creative things and sports are easy for me. I used to feel stupid, but now I feel talented and confident that I can do incredible things with my gifts. I plan to be an inventor like other dyslexic people, like Thomas Edison and Leonardo DiVinci!
