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.

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.

Blog

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.
