Holistic Speech Pathology

For almost thirty years, I have helped thousands of individuals around the world, gifting communication as a means to successful participation in daily life and the greater community. I founded Talking Heads Speech Pathology, in Sydney Australia in 2006; renowned for servicing the local community with strong integrity, innovation and imagination; whilst nurturing a team of clinicians for 18 years.

Now, i integrate decades of unique training and experience, bridging Science and Spirituality. 

On a lifelong mission to empower people of all ages to flourish; I expanded my training and expertise across various modalities, including Reiki Master Level Practitioner,  Energy Medicine/ Healing, Neurolinguistic Processing and  IntuitiveLife/ Business Coaching. When working with Speech Pathology clients I creatively integrate traditional modern health sciences with ancient wisdom and healing principles where appropriate; to ensure a holistic; whole-human approach; with consideration for the family ecosystem.

Strategy and Screener sessions

I recognise waiting lists on a national level, can be long to access Speech Pathology services. I also recognise the early years in children’s lives are crucial in supporting their development and progress.

I offer a limited number of strategy and screener sessions per month; for those families with children between (1– 7 years) who would like evidence-based strategies and advice to support their child.

These sessions are 30 minutes duration (and do not always require a child to be present)

Conducted online via ZOOM.

Early Childhood & School Settings

I offer an array of in-person and online workshops and training for parents, carers and educators, including:

– Holistic School of Life Readiness 

– Responding to the Reluctant Reader

– Nurturing Confident Communication in Kids

I also create whole group programs for facilitation/ implementation by educators; customised to organisational needs.
