What We Love!
The Coffee
Coffee is one of the “perks”! We all love our coffee but it makes great hot chocolates and chai lattes too!
If you are a tea lover we have a selection of different teas from chamomile to lemon and ginger!
The Dogs
With two dogs who visit the office
there is always room for more.
Hamish and Murphy have been
working with Melinda for over
thirteen years.
The Equipment
Our office is not your regular speechie office. If the coffee and cuddles with the dogs doesn’t bring a bounce to your step then the trampolines will. With trampolines, swings, crash mats, spinning chairs and more your sessions will never miss a beat!
The Plants
From hydropants to
growing plants on totem poles.
We have plans for the gardens too!
The Speech House
Our way of giving back to our community. The Speech House initiative is a program designed for families who are struggling to afford therapy.
