Growing Choices for Life & Learning
I’m an educator and literacy advocate working in strength-based ways with children, adults, and their whānau/families. I believe happiness comes from knowing we can grow our own strengths—and the Davis methods make that possible!
After 40+ years in education, I discovered my own dyslexia while training with the Davis tools. It was a huge relief to finally resolve my confusions and recognise my creativity, empathy, and big-picture thinking as part of the gift of dyslexia.
The results I see with clients are truly transformational. I’m proud to offer Davis programmes for individuals and groups in schools, workplaces, tertiary settings, and beyond.
