About Flo
Three decades of helping children unlock how they learn.
After watching her own son struggle with dyslexia, Flo left the classroom to build something better. Today she works with parents, schools, and districts to retrain the brain's reading pathways — and she writes the books she wishes she'd had on those hardest nights.
Her work blends practical neuroscience, decades of teaching, and a warm, no-shame approach that meets families exactly where they are.
