Who we are

I’m a speech therapist with a background in primary education, languages, and allied health. I work across the lifespan, enjoy responding to the needs of my community rather than specialisation, and value thoughtful, collaborative, and respectful practice. Outside work, I enjoy flower and permaculture gardening.

(she, her)

I believe in working alongside people. I’ve been practising since 2013, supporting communities across the United States and Australia, with a practice grounded in listening, connection, and everyday life. Alongside my professional work, I hold a long‑standing, high‑level interest in gluten‑free sourdough and the slow, relational processes of making and nourishment.

About Our Speech Therapy Services

We use a holistic, community-based approach grounded in real-life contexts to address communication challenges. Recognizing that communication is deeply connected to identity, relationships, regulation, culture, and environment, we believe that support works best when it fits people’s everyday lives through personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

Our practice values collaboration over compliance, guided by neurodiversity-affirming principles and respect for lived experience. We believe growth happens when people feel safe, heard, and supported to define what success looks like for themselves, with the guidance of skilled speech-language pathologists.

As an employee-owned, democratic collective with shared profits and no hierarchies, our work remains community-focused, advocacy-driven, and committed to fairness, connection, and dignity for all.

We acknowledge the Jinibara and Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and are committed to listening to and learning from Australian First Nations and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We advocate for people of all ages, backgrounds, sexualities, genders, and abilities. Diversity is humanity's strength, and inclusivity is our commitment.
