Stella walks alongside families experiencing paediatric feeding and communication disorders, including those with medically complex and fragile infants and children. Stella specialises in responsive feeding practices across bottle, breastfeeding and solids and supports communication from birth until 3 years old. Stella is passionate about empowering communities supporting children to thrive through those significant first 1000 days of life. Now located north of Perth, Western Australia, both in person and online support is available.
Sometimes a one off session with assessment and advice can really set you off on a new trajectory with your child. Many children also benefit from follow up. We go by what your child needs and give you time to implement strategies, monitor improvement and adapt recommendations to suit you.
Passionate about ensuring children receive the support they are eligible for, help is provided to families and medical professionals in understanding the public healthcare SLT referrals process in New Zealand.
