Nacho Kids Academy Success Story:

“I wish I would have signed up for one-on-one coaching with Lori sooner. I’ve been going to therapy for years because of the blended challenges. My most recent therapist relocated and only has in-person meetings, so I decided I’d see what the Nacho people had to offer while trying to find a new therapist. In just one hour with Lori, just one, and I learned more than I had learned in two years from my therapist! I’m still in shock! Thank you, Lori, you are the best!” ~ B.A.
