Barbara is a fantastic teacher and practitioner of her craft. She provides a contemporary, engaging and warm learning experience. Her approach suits anyone - adult or child - that needs to improve their communication skills, language skills and reading comprehension skills.

Our education system isn't designed for everyone - especially those that are non-verbal thinkers. As a non-verbal thinker myself, I've had certain challenges and worked my way through life using coping mechanisms. Particularly with reading and comprehension.

Barbara identified some of my coping mechanisms. Then she gave me a better way - a new way to consume words. She also helped me understand what is happening at the foundational level - it's no longer a mystery - this learning is priceless.

Barbara is a unique and skilled educator with understanding and patience for individuals on the dyslexia journey. She has created an inviting and dynamic space at Sydney Dyslexia Hub to support both children and adults to learn how to unlock their unique learning style. My daughter has benefitted from building confidence with spelling, decoding and reading. She enjoys engaging with the imaginative resources and programs Barbara has created. We are so grateful for the generous support Barbara has provided, as well as her warm rapport and energy.

We cannot recommend Sydney Dyslexia and Barbara highly enough! As an exceptional educator with over 20 years of experience, Barbara has transformed our son's learning journey in just five days. Her unique program incorporates visual techniques, mindfulness, and practical exercises, making complex concepts accessible and understandable for children with dyslexia.

What truly sets Barbara apart is her genuine care for each student. She recognizes that understanding the "why" behind learning is crucial for retention, and her approach fosters not just knowledge, but confidence. We've seen remarkable changes in our son's belief in himself, and his improvements in spelling and math are already evident.

After extensive intervention work in the past, this has been by far the most successful. We’re excited to see how much more he will thrive in the coming months. Thank you, Barbara and your wonderful team, for making such a positive impact on our son’s life!

Thanks Barbara for including me in your recent retreat. It was fabulous and I am still feeling the benefits. Learning and recharging in beautifully relaxed surroundings. You are the perfect hostess. Highly recommended.

In one week with Barbara my daughter learnt all the basic fundamentals of maths that she had been struggling with for years. She said it was so easy when she was taught by someone who understood how her brain worked. I cannot recommend Barbara enough, thank you!

If you need help with dyslexia or self-healing, this is the perfect place to come to.

As a student facilitator I have witnessed how children with dyslexia gain knowledge and confidence through Barbara’s program. Her immense knowledge and her kind and individual approach are truly amazing and I feel blessed to be part of it.

I am seeing Deb and Nici for treatments. Both ladies are very caring and very knowledgeable and are helping me on my journey to self-healing 🙏

Have been a student here, was very helpful in improving my spelling and reading. I now have more confidence!

After a year I have come back and just came on a retreat this week to be trained to become a dyslexia teacher! I want to now help other people that struggle with dyslexia.

Which ever modality of self learning or healing draws you here , you will be welcomed by the incredibly kind , caring and skilled people who work here.
The work I have done over the last 3 months with Nici has been transformative in the way that I feel in my body and mind and will be forever grateful for this.
I have also been lucky enough to see Barbara and Deb for treatment, whom I can also highly recommend. It’s a special place and not intimidating to visit.
