"Darci helped me, my son, and my family so much.  She is so   knowledgeable and articulate about nutrition’s impact on brain chemistry and overall health, I regret not talking to her sooner.  My 5-year-old son was having behavioral issues, like nonsensical tantrums and borderline violent outbursts.  We noticed a correlation to dairy intake, and cut out all milk and yogurt.  Huge, huge improvement!  But that’s as far as I could take the progress without Darci’s help.  Until I talked to her, I didn’t know why his moodiness improved or aggressive outbursts were minimized.  I was still walking on eggshells around my son, not sure if the problems would return.  But Darci put words and facts and science behind my observations, and explained things in such a straightforward and loving way.  She gave helpful tips for taking his nutritional improvement to the next level to keep him (and our whole family) on the right path.  She’s a mother too and knows how stressful making choices for our children can be.  I’m much less nervous about dealing with his food sensitivities and behavior from now on.  Darci’s advice and insights on nutrition needs to be followed by all of us, not just those with trouble learning; it impacts everyone."

Update: "Josh is doing great with no dairy in almost a year.  Did I tell you how much his learning improved last year?  He went from something around 55th percentile to the 80th percentile for math in the second semester – making his improvement something like 95th percentile.  I have to believe it was getting the milk out of this system that allowed him to focus and learn so much better."    - Amy

“My daughter was at a point in her academic career that she had lost complete faith in herself and her ability to understand math.  She is such a bright, kind, and amazing girl, but had absolutely no confidence in her ability to learn.  We had tried tutors before, but so many of them said the same thing.  They told me that she just was not paying attention, not trying.  No one could break down the walls that my daughter had built in defense of her failure.  I called Darci, and from her first appointment, my daughter started to see hope again.  She felt that Darci was on her team.  My daughter has found faith in herself…she has discovered that she can learn.  We have Darci to thank for that.”     – Elizabeth

"Darci worked with my son, who was diagnosed very late with dyslexia.  Darci helped him not only gain reading skills and a great toolbox for building his competency and endurance, but also helped him understand how his brain worked, and how to train it to build the pathways to become a strong reader.  Working with me as a parent, Darci covered everything from nutrition and exercise to foundational literacy understanding— how brains read broken down for those of us who have not studied the topic as long as Darci.  We now have the skills and resources to take the final steps to educational success."

“My son has a special learning disability related to epilepsy and has a hard time learning to express himself with words. Writing papers, taking tests, and self-expression of any kind has always been difficult for him.  Darci has a unique ability to turn all that frustration into productive thinking, high ability test taking and word organization. I was so impressed and amazed at the work she inspired him to produce.”    – Amy 

​“Darci made such an impact on my children’s learning. My son in particular, has several learning disabilities and within a couple sessions with Darci he was able to recognize words and start beginning reading. It was beyond anything I had expected. Darci instilled a confidence in the children and the method was simple and fun for us to work on at home. Her method empowered the children and gave them an excitement for learning.”     – Desiree
