Meet the Online Speechie
Saffira, Speech Pathologist & Mum
Hi, I’m Saffira—speech pathologist, mum, and founder of The Online Speechie.
I created this space to give parents simple, practical tools to help their child talk—without the waitlists. I’ve worked across homes, clinics, and the public system, but it’s the everyday moments with parents that matter most.
Becoming a mum to Lyra deepened my passion—because I know firsthand how early support changes lives.
Labeled “failure to thrive” as a baby in an orphanage, I began to thrive once someone noticed I needed help. I was adopted at two.
That moment changed my life. Now, I’m here to help you change your child’s.
I have loved the videos that Saffira shares, and how I can tailor it to Henry’s interests and abilities. It has helped me to be more confident teaching Henry speaking skills in everyday situations.
It was absolutely worth the investment! Aside from helping my boy find his voice, having all these tools took the stress out of it by giving me a plan. It was also much cheaper than in-person therapy!

All the effort & practice at home was worth it! At 2 years old, my son wasn’t making eye contact or communicating at all, just pointing. Now, after practice at home, he’s done a complete 180. His teacher even says he’s very chatty!
Incorporating the home practice was surprisingly easy and very achievable. I could see the progress being made on my son, but I also learned so much about him, and that gave me confidence in myself as a mum.

Saffira was fantastic, she helped us make a lot of progress with speech. I loved the way she engaged with my kids through play and taught us strategies to use in everyday life. Thank you!
We also used her playbook for therapy at home- it’s a good option if your budget won’t stretch for clinic therapy! Lots of activities and ideas to do at home.

Saffira is the best!! She is amazing with children, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Sessions are fun, engaging and tailored to the child’s needs. The results are very noticeable. Her therapy sessions are superior to other speech pathologists we have seen in the past. Her approach is exceptional. We highly recommend The Online Speechie. Thank you Saffira 🙂

Saffira was recommended to us by a mutual friend and we are so glad we found her. We completed an assessment with Saffira to assist us with our sons expressive language delay. She was professional, welcoming, kind and empathetic in her approach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Safira and her team.

Saffira worked with our twins who needed a bit of extra help with their language development and she was amazing. Saffira was able to quickly make us feel at ease and put together a clear plan and strategies which all worked towards us being able to help the girls at home with their development. Saffira was able to connect with the girls and make their sessions fun and they progressed very quickly with their language development after seeing her, would highly recommend her services.

We have had the pleasure of working with Saffira for my child, and we couldn’t be happier with the results we have already seen in such a short time. Saffira is not only kind and patient but also incredibly dedicated to helping children improve their speech. Saffira quickly identified the specific areas where my child needed to work and develop, her tailored approach has already made a noticeable difference in my child’s communication skills. I highly recommend the Online Speechie for anyone seeking speech therapy services.

Saffira is an incredibly engaged, kind and knowledgeable speech therapist. We see her with our two year old daughter and she has been immensely helpful in her assessments & in connecting us to other relevant services. Before seeing Saffira we felt lost & unsupported, we now feel confident in the pathway we are on for our child to support their development. We love Saffira’s holistic approach and integrating her strategies into our everyday care.
