Hi, I’m Joanne!
I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist, early play expert, and coach for parents of babies and toddlers. But more importantly, I’m someone who gets it.
I used to think the only progress that counted was what happened in the therapy room.
But I quickly realized: the real magic happens at home.
In the diaper changes. In the snack times. In the stroller walks and bedtime stories.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help parents like you feel confident and equipped to support your child’s communication, without needing a degree in speech therapy or a complicated plan.
If this is you…
You’re worried your toddler isn’t talking yet, or not as much as other kids their age
You’ve been Googling and scrolling, but everything feels overwhelming or contradictory
You want to make sure you're doing the right things, but you also want it to feel natural and guilt-free
You’re already in speech therapy, but want to do more at home without burning out
You’re a pediatric professional who knows caregiver coaching matters, but you want better tools and language to guide families
…then you’re in the right place.
What I Do
I coach and empower families through simple, research-backed strategies that build language through connection.
And I help professionals communicate in clear, approachable ways that truly reach families.
Through my online courses, mini-consultations, and monthly membership, I’ll help you:
✔ Encourage speech and language at every stage from first coos to first conversations
✔ Support late talkers with tools that are effective, realistic, and play-based
✔ Use everyday moments (like meals, diaper changes, and playtime) to build rich communication
✔ Feel confident and capable as your child’s best communication partner
If this sounds like you…
You want expert guidance that doesn’t feel overwhelming
You want to build language and connection without pressure
You want to trust your intuition and know you’re doing what’s best
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need someone to show you how to use what you’re already doing, just a little differently.
And that’s what I’m here for.
