Testimonials

  • As an NDIS participant, Julia was my Speech Pathologist . She played an influential role in my life assisting me with key strategies and goal setting when I had graduated high school including the 5 part arrow brainstorm. I would highly recommend Julia to any NDIS participant who is struggling with some of life decisions or who is simply confused and is needing some guidance navigating through the world, is needing a mentor to help with goal setting and figuring out your best coping mechanisms.

  • I had the privelege of working alongside Julia during her time as a trans-disciplinary therapist supporting people with autism. Throughout this time, I witnessed her highly professional work ethic & deeply compassionate approach to everyone she worked with. She consistently strives for the absolute best outcomes for her clients and is not afraid to think creatively.
