I have been on my own journey with dyspraxia (the \u2018clumsy\u2019 version of dyslexia) and ADHD, and have seen many people benefit greatly from the Davis methods.

In my 30 years in adult and youth education, I have met highly intelligent and motivated learners with clever neurodiverse brains, who often struggled with reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, focus or mathematics. At the heart of each of these struggles was dyslexia or a related condition.

It is my privilege and joy to work with neurodivergent people to master the various challenges their brains present, and to succeed and thrive in school, study, work and life.","testimonial_1":"My 10 year old son, Lachie, completed the Davis Dyslexia Mastery course with Rachel in September 2022. We noticed a positive change in his behaviour and interactions with others from day one, and knew that this was going to be different to everything else we\u2019d tried.

When Lachie started his course, he had an 8-8.5yr reading level and was at risk, was told that he would need continuous support to meet the curriculum level of Stage 6 in Mathematics by the end of the year, and was at a Year 1 (1B, beginning) writing level. Now, just four months on, Lachie is meeting the curriculum levels for his age in reading \u2013 10.5-11.5yrs \u2013 has reached Stage 6 in mathematics and has increased his writing by five levels (2A, Advanced), so that he can now write at the same level of those starting at Yr 5!

After years of seeing little to no improvement with other programs, this is absolutely incredible! Lachie is so much calmer and happier in himself, he can control his energy levels, his balance is better, he is so much easier to communicate with, and his connections with his peers, friends and family have improved. This course, and the follow up work has not been easy for Lachie but he is now seeing that his perseverance is paying off and creating the best version of himself is fully within his control.

The concepts and tools that we\u2019ve learned have been illuminating, and I have found myself referring to them in my own life too. I experienced Rachel as kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. We are so fortunate to have her in our town.

Mother of a 10 year-old daughter<\/b>","testimonial_3":"We have worked with Rachel for almost a year now to help our daughter master her dyslexia. Over that time, we have witnessed incredible leaps and bounds in her reading, writing, and confidence.

Rachel is patient, calm, and caring. Her passion for helping people of all ages with dyslexia is an inspiration.

Simon, father of 8 y.o. girl<\/b>","testimonial_4":"Wow that\u2019s all I can say about Rachel, her caring made me feel humble. She never once got upset with me, which is important. The way she made me feel was \u201cYou can do this.\u201d Even now, not completely finished, it amazes me how my writing style has improved immensely. Much better than I could\u2019ve imagined \u201cgiggle\u201d and I\u2019m not finished.

It feels like my consciousness has really been changed by the training, I\u2019m typing my file notes as I want them to be read, without changing them to find easier words.

I had an incident at work this week\u2026without too much stress I wrote what I thought was an excellent incident note, the Davis Dyslexia method takes out the worry of spelling.
