At LearningRx Chattanooga, we believe every brain is capable of remarkable change. Whether a child struggles with reading, attention, memory, or confidence—or simply wants to unlock greater potential—we’re here to help. Through one-on-one brain training based on the science of neuroplasticity, we target the root cause of learning challenges: cognitive skills. Backed by over 35 years of research and development, our clients average a 3.6-year improvement in cognitive skills after just six months of training.
Our local story begins with Michelle Hecker Davis, who became Chattanooga’s first Certified Cognitive Skills Trainer in 2010. With a degree in Business and Accounting from Lee University, Michelle quickly rose to become Director of Training, then Center Director for 10 years before becoming owner in 2022. Today, she operates Chattanooga Brain Train LLC, and is a Board Certified Cognitive Specialist. In 2023, she was honored as LearningRx Franchisee of the Year, and the Chattanooga center has received accolades for top customer service for the past 11 years. The Chattanooga center has also been named a top 10 center within the entire LearningRx system nationally for the past 6 years, receiving a Community Impact award each year, 2020-2025.
We’ve trained brains across several states for over 15 years, helping thousands of students and adults—many neurodiverse or with special needs—gain clarity, confidence, and real results. What sets us apart is our heart. We see every student as more than a test score. Every 3–6 weeks, we meet with families to review progress, support growth, and—if needed—refer to resources that better serve the child. Our guiding core values of Helpfulness, Integrity, Responsibility, Excellence, and Passion ensure every client is treated with care and respect.
Michelle is deeply involved in the Chattanooga community. She serves on the board of the Chattanooga Area Brain Injury Association and the International Association of Cognitive Training, and has contributed to initiatives such as the Leadership Chattanooga Curriculum Committee and Tennesseans for Quality Early Education. Our team volunteers with organizations including the Speech and Hearing Center, Chattanooga Autism Center, Austin Hatcher Foundation, and Hamilton County Schools. We proudly host free community programs, offer reading events, and maintain a Free Little Library at our center near Hamilton Place Mall. We credit so much of our success to our amazing brain training team and the Director of Trainers, Gerri Holstine who has been with LearningRx alongside Michelle for over 15 years now. Our community and relationship to Chattanooga’s homeschooling families have been amazing.
Our mission is simple: Transforming lives to learn and perform better, faster, and easier. Our vision is to be the most loved, most trusted, and most effective brain training program in the Southeast.

Very thankful for LearningRx and the help it has provided our child. Seeing her gain confidence and ability is priceless. Michelle, Jennifer, Jordan, and the rest of the team are the best of the best. Your kindness and professionalism are simply the cherry on top
We had a wonderful experience at LearningRx! Our 16-year-old son had recently received an ADHD diagnosis and LearningRx was recommended to us. He had issues with processing speed and executive functioning. The individual attention and guidance given to him was invaluable at helping him develop into his “true” self! Thank you for everything, LearningRx!
His ability to listen and follow through the first time has improved. He doesn’t need to study as long for tests and quizzes. His focus is better. His reading and comprehension have improved.
LearningRx has been such a game changer for our 9-year-old. We are so thankful for them!
I was one overwhelmed parent after being told my daughter was suspected as having dyslexia by her school, which followed up with “we won’t be able to get her where she needs to be in reading”, essentially. I had seen the LearningRx sign before, so that was my first call. I had a lot of questions! The front desk (Jordan) was so very helpful at giving me as much information as she could before meeting us. We have now finished our brain training plan and are so happy with the results!
LearningRx was such a blessing for our family and especially for our little boy. He originally went for an updated evaluation for school and then after meeting with the owner Michelle, we learned about their Lift Off program. Our trainer Mrs. Aimee and all the staff became like family to us. The joy every trainer has for their job is evident. This is amazing place! His confidence has soared as a learner and to us, nothing can replace that.
I’m starting training myself (with my 12-year-old son and father) to see if the virtual version holds up—a trial is available. If you want real-world listening and thinking skills built with grit, nuance, and scientific grounding, this program is worth your time and money. It’s a game-changer.
Bonnie literally went from barely reading, total meltdown when she was asked to read to now reading above grade level and picking up books for fun even. Training has also improved her attention and focus more than we thought possible. We have even been able to taper off her ADHD meds. Total transformation!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Mrs. Michelle Davis & the staff are SO wonderful in accommodating my Autism… They are above and beyond amazing! This review cannot even describe how much I adore them! Hats off with many hearts to send to this organization.
I would highly recommend LearningRx Chattanooga. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The results that we received from brain training were outstanding. Wish we had done it sooner!
My child is more confident in his ability to succeed. He is more willing to try new things. He has a better sense of self control, and he has made significant improvements on every report card. He has learned that working hard is more important than perfection!
It’s great working with LearningRx. Max started seeing improvement after the second week of session. I would definitely recommend LearningRx!
Both children continued to make huge gains in working memory, retention, auditory and visual processing, and more! Aside from the program itself, Michelle and the staff at LearningRx Chattanooga are incredible to work with. My children felt loved and supported through the program and the staff were always available to answer questions or provide tailored advice for our family. I can’t recommend LearningRx Chattanooga enough!
LearningRx was a game changer for my son. He improved in so many areas of his life.
LearningRx has been amazing for my 1st Grader! I have watched him gain confidence in learning subjects that were challenging to him and have also seen an increase in his academic test scores since his training began in Chattanooga. Everyone has been amazing to work with, and so welcoming and kind. Excited to see my son’s future progress. Thank you LearningRx – Chattanooga!
