Our mission is to provide a holistic 'whole body' approach to speech pathology services.
We understand that communication and feeding skills are intimately interconnected to the rest of the body, and therefore we aim to investigate the whole person, by looking at possible causes and not just treating the symptoms.
We are based in Brookvale on Sydneyβs Northern Beaches and Berkeley Vale on the Central Coast. We also provide telehealth services as well as mobile services to homes, schools, preschools and aged care. Stop by our clinic sometime and say hi!
Communication
We assess, diagnose and treat communication difficulties across the lifespan, from birth through to adulthood.
Feeding and Swallowing
We assess, diagnose and treat feeding and swallowing difficulties across the lifespan, from birth to adulthood.
State Of The Art Technology
The neuromuscular electrical stimulation helps recruit and re-educate muscles in the process of swallowing.
