Supporting children with speech, language, complex communication, AAC, feeding and swallowing.
Our Speech Pathologists work across communication, access, feeding and swallowing, with therapy shaped around each child's individual needs.
Helping kids communicate with confidence
More ways to have a voice
Supporting safer, more effective feeding
At Boom Kids Clinic, our Speech Pathologists work closely with each family to set goals that matter for everyday life, whether that's a child's first words, a reliable way to communicate through AAC, or eating and drinking safely. We tailor every program to the child and their routine, and we work alongside families, educators and the rest of a child's therapy team so progress made in a session carries through to home and school.
Outside of work I enjoy cooking, reading, films and have recently learned to crochet. You might be interested to know that I have a black belt in Karate and used to compete as a teenager.
I have always wanted to work with children in a way that I could help and support them first hand. This paired with my personal interest in health science led me to pursue a career in Speech Pathology. Since studying Speech Pathology and commencing my career, I have developed a strong passion for what I do - every person deserves the right to communicate!
I started at the clinic in 2022 as a New Graduate Therapist. Since then I have had many opportunities to work with many children of different ages and diagnoses. I have been able to explore my personal interest in complex AAC and pursue my passion for supporting allied health students and early career therapists.
The best part of being a paediatric therapist is the privilege of building a connection with each individual child and watching them grow and transform into the best version of themselves. I get to support them to develop their skills, celebrate their achievements and become part of their journey. It is the highlight of my day when I walk out into the waiting room and am greeted by their beautiful smiles.
My family and I love camping and have been all the way to Western Australia and back! We love to hike, kayak and paddle board when we go, and always try to stay at a different place each time we go away.
I actually got over half way through a Psychology degree before realising it wasn’t for me. I started working in a school as a SLSO and had to sit with a student getting a Speech Pathology assessment. Speech Pathology wasn’t even on my radar until that moment, where I became so intrigued about communication and never looked back.
Several years ago I began my journey with the clinic as a Therapy Assistant during my final year of university. I quickly fell in love with both the team and the clients I worked with, realising this was an ideal launchpad for my career!
I absolutely love working closely to achieve meaningful outcomes, not just for my clients, but for their families too. We're there every step of the way, supporting them through tough times and celebrating their wins. Nothing fulfils me quite like being a part of that journey!
I enjoy reading, escape rooms, I play the violin, and I love travelling to different countries and experiencing new places (and new cuisines!)
I joined the clinic in 2014 as a recent graduate Speech Pathologist. I found a passion for working with adolescents and was given the opportunity to make this age group the focus of my caseload. I was then fortunate to move into the role of Clinical Team Leader, providing support and guidance to the clinical team, and I am now the National Operations Manager, though I will always be a Speech Pathologist at heart.
I love seeing the support that the whole team gives each other, and how we are always learning from each other to develop our skills and give the best care to our families.
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family, eat yummy foods and learning about how to get better at bouldering.
I grew up with lots of little cousins, so I've always wanted to be a person who is able to support kids to learn, play and have fun!
I've worked closely with families on working on communication goals that mean the most for the child at whatever stage they are at. I'm always keen to learn more about everyday communication goals and all the different ways I can help.
Having so many fun sessions where a child can be themselves and have a laugh is always the best!
Rebecca has recently joined the team. She has experience in private practice and spent time practising as a Speech Pathologist in the UK before returning to Australia.
I’m always finding myself spending quality time with loved ones, enjoying big brunches with lots of coffee and winding down at the beach.
I have seen loved ones thrive with the support of Speech Pathology intervention with Parkinsons, MND and paediatric speech sounds. My curiosity grew and my love for working with children just confirmed being a Speech Pathologist is where I am meant to be.
Having worked as a Speech Pathologist in a number of other positions, I started my journey with the clinic in September 2024. I love being able to work with such a great range of complex clients and their families, to support all different forms of communication. Plus the team is so much fun, everyone is so welcoming and ready to support each other!
Celebrating the small wins with families, especially those that have such a big functional impact at home and school.
I love dancing and finding new places to eat with my friends. On the weekends, I also enjoy dressing up and filming content for weddings and events (love being part of other's core memories)
I’ve always wanted to work with children, especially in a way that helps them communicate better and makes everyday life a bit easier for them.
I joined the clinic as a new grad therapist after doing my paediatric placement here. I love coming to work each day in a multidisciplinary environment.
The best part of my week is connecting with kids, building that relationship, and being someone they look forward to seeing. It’s really rewarding knowing you’re making a difference in their lives.
A referral isn't required to book an initial appointment, though your funding type (such as NDIS, Medicare or private health) may have its own requirements. Let us know your situation when you get in touch and we'll guide you through it.
There's no set age. We work with babies through to teenagers, and many families start as soon as a delay or difficulty is noticed, since earlier support often means better outcomes.
This depends entirely on your child's goals and needs. Some children benefit from weekly sessions, others from fortnightly visits or block/intensive programs. We'll recommend a plan after your first assessment.
We ask parents and carers to be very involved. That means helping set the goals for your child, being active in sessions rather than just observing, and practising with your child between appointments. The more involved you are, the better and faster the results tend to be.
Your therapist will give you practical, tailored strategies and a home program designed to fit into your family's everyday routine.
