Our Why
I’ve always wanted to help people, but it took time to find my path. I knew healthcare was for me, but I wasn’t drawn to study medicine. Then, during a high school career week, my dad mentioned speech pathology. I looked into it, and something clicked. The idea of helping people communicate excited me, and two years later, I started university.
During clinical placements, I fell in love with visiting families in their homes. There’s something powerful about working closely with parents and seeing a child’s eyes light up when they finally communicate. That connection was unforgettable.
After working in various settings—including the UK—I saw firsthand how long waitlists were holding children back. It broke my heart.
By chance, it was around this time that I started using home programs for exercise. Then the idea struck — what if there was something similar for parents to help their children with talk? A video library on how to encourage communication, based on how much time parents had, what toys were available, and what their child needs?
That’s how the idea for The Online Speechie was born. It started as just an idea I shared with my husband, Brett. We were really excited. We were tossing around names for this new venture, and finally landed on the Online Speechie. It felt right—to offer families expert, accessible guidance at home.
Since becoming a mum, my drive to help children and parents has become deeply personal. My daughter, Lyra, made me realise why I wanted to work with children in the first place. I was adopted when I was two, and for years I brushed off the significance, often joking to make others comfortable.
People have always asked me if I want to find my biological parents, but even after having Lyra, I’ve never felt the urge. It wasn’t until I became a mum myself that I began reflecting on my early experiences.
One day, about three months postpartum, Brett and I were sitting down for coffee, and I felt particularly emotional. Suddenly, it hit me: I had turned out okay. Despite being adopted at birth and not having a loving caregiver for the first two years, I ended up as a happy, emotionally stable adult. But when I looked at Lyra—just three months old—I couldn’t imagine her without that love and connection. The bond Brett and I had with her was something I missed out on as a baby, and that realisation shook me.
I was labeled as “failure to thrive” before I turned one. I was withdrawn, unhappy, and delayed—not because of anything genetic, but simply because I had no one to care for me. My mum, Kaye, always says I was a clever little girl, knowing I wouldn’t get more care by being smiley. Maybe she was right—I needed someone to notice I needed help.
At 11 months, a foster carer started visiting me every Sunday, and with each visit, I made small improvements. I then had the chance to live with the foster carer while my parents Kaye and John waited through the long additional year for my adoption to be approved.
If it weren’t for my parents Kaye and John, and my foster carer, I don’t know where I’d be today. And that’s a large part of the reason why I created The Online Speechie—to help children get the support they need early on and to remind parents they are the biggest catalyst for their child’s future.
The best time to act is now. It’s about making sure no child goes unnoticed, like I almost was, and changing the trajectory of a child’s life for the better—one small step at a time.
