About
Hi, I'm Candice.

I am a former Big Law attorney. I have four daughters, Reese, Hope, Maisey, and Pax, each with her own neurodivergent or physical-disability profile, and each one has been my greatest teacher in her own way. At thirty-eight, evaluators confirmed I have autistic wiring and ADHD myself, which reframed most of my life and much of how I build.
Rhemaia came out of a hard moment, not a business plan. My oldest daughter was failing in public school, and then failing at the microschool we moved her to. The ed-tech we were handed was marketed as personalized learning powered by AI, and it was nothing of the kind for a kid whose brain did not match the template. Out of desperation, I took her actual evaluation scores and built the support structure from them by hand, scored by what kind of help each weakness needed, and rewrote her curriculum one assignment at a time. The girl who felt awful about herself and could not get her work done started flying through it. I was not doing the work for her. I had built the scaffolding she actually needed.
Rhemaia is that translation, automated, checked, and made available to families who should not have to figure it out alone. I write from inside the work, not from above it.

Founder, Rhemaia
I find broken systems and rebuild them so they work for the people inside them. This is the education one.
If your child has an evaluation sitting in a drawer, that is exactly where this started for us. You do not have to figure it out alone. Rhemaia is in private build, and you can add your email to hear when early access opens.
I want in.
