Bio:   I first started my NILD journey while homeschooling my children overseas. I discovered that my youngest is dyslexic and a friend pointed me toward NILD. I began getting the trainings, which eventually led to a master's degree. I worked with my son for a few years. He is about to graduate as a senior (2023) with honors. I now live in Waco, TX and provide educational therapy privately. I never would have imagined this for myself 10 years ago, but I am so thankful for the twists in my road that led me here. I feel very privileged to get to be a part of this sacred and sometimes painful, but ultimately beautiful journey with other families.

Bio:   Kristin graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, OK, and shortly after became a CPA. Following 8 years in the oil & gas industry, she decided to stay home and raise her three boys. After spending 10 years in collaborative education with her sons, including supporting one with dyslexia, she was inspired to become an NILD educational therapist. She endeavors to foster a growth mindset in her students by encouraging resilience and positivity.
