Meet your speechie
Hello there! I'm Lisa, the neurodivergent whimsical mind behind Sunflower Speech. As a dedicated speech pathologist, nothing thrills me more than helping little ones find their voices! Watching my clients blossom into confident communicators while having a blast along the way fills my heart with sunshine!
Thanks to my personal lived-experience with neurodivergence, I form genuine connections with my young clients, fostering trust and understanding.
With over 5+ years of experience in private practice in the western suburbs of Melbourne before moving to the Sunny Coast, Lisa is a certified practicing speech pathologist dedicated to making communication fun and effective!
