About Me

Hi! I'm Hema, a pediatric Speech-Language Therapist. I have been working with children for the past 7 years to:

• improve their communication 

• give them a voice, and 

• advocate for them

​

I love children! I love seeing their faces light up when they realise that words have power. I also love working with families to foster a bond between the child, parents and siblings. Communication is what brings us together, it helps us to build relationships, and without it we would all feel isolated and alone. That is why I became a Speech Language Pathologist, and I would like to share this passion with the rest of the world.

​

I am also a mom to a wonderful baby girl, so I understand the struggles of parenting and keeping track of your child's development. I aim to provide assurance and support for all parents through information on my blog, and by working hand-in-hand to cultivate your child's language development.
