Founder and Specialist Facilitator at Dyslexia Unpuzzled, Hawke's Bay
For more than 30 years, I’ve taught children with all kinds of learning styles — bright, curious, capable learners who often struggled to show what they truly knew. I didn’t always recognise it as dyslexia, ADHD, or another learning difference. I just knew that no matter how hard they tried, traditional teaching wasn’t reaching them, and that broke my heart.
That’s why I founded Dyslexia Unpuzzled: to offer the understanding, tools, and confidence that I wish every child had access to.
“When we understand how the brain learns best, we don’t just change learning, we change lives.”
Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and families to uncover their unique way of learning and to build confidence and clarity for lasting success.
At Dyslexia Unpuzzled, I offer three internationally recognised Davis℠ Mastery Programs, tailored to each learner:
Mastery for Dyslexia (Reading & Literacy) – building understanding, accuracy, and confidence in reading and writing.
Mastery for Maths – strengthening foundational numeracy and removing confusion around numbers and symbols.
Mastery for Attention (ADHD focus) – developing focus, self-regulation, and confidence through practical tools that work with the brain’s natural rhythm.Parents and teachers often tell me they finally understand what’s really been going on and that their child’s spark is coming back. That’s the moment I love most: when frustration softens, confidence returns, and learning begins to make sense again.
If you’re ready to see what’s possible when learning feels calm, clear, and connected, I’d love to hear from you.
