My Speech Pathology practice has been operating in the Hastings region for over fourteen
years, servicing the residents of Port Macquarie, Camden Haven,
Wauchope, Kempsey and most of the Mid North Coast.
I have an Honors Degree from the University of Queensland, and I am a
practising member of Speech Pathology Australia. You will also find me
listed on the Private Practitioners Register.
Speech Pathologists are trained in the diagnosis and
treatment of all communications disorders in people of all ages,
whether genetic or acquired.

Speech Pathologists attain their degree from a nationally recognised University
after a minimum of four years study, in areas as diverse as linguistics,
anatomy, physiology, speech and early language development,and a range of specialty subjects.
The rest is gained by experience.
I am also a Participant in Professional Self-Regulation (PSR) programme.
