Sandra Zamalis

Owner & Executive Director | LearningRx Harrisonburg

Sandy Zamalis leads LearningRx Harrisonburg as the owner, Executive Director, and Board Certified Cognitive Specialist. Her journey into brain training began in 2012 when she discovered a better way to help struggling learners beyond traditional classroom methods.

As a former homeschooling mom and aspiring teacher, Sandy witnessed firsthand how cognitive weaknesses (not lack of effort) prevent students from succeeding. This revelation led her to LearningRx, where she found evidence-based methods that address the root causes of learning struggles.

Under Sandy’s leadership, the center has grown to serve families across the Harrisonburg metro area and the broader Shenandoah Valley through multiple locations, earning independent board certification along the way. She has personally worked with hundreds of clients, from elementary students struggling with reading difficulties to adults seeking to sharpen memory and processing speed.

Sandy’s mission: To help individuals overcome learning challenges by building strong cognitive foundations that lead to unshakeable self-confidence and greater success in school, work, and life.
