We’re passionate about helping your child grow
Chris Calnan Osborne
Chris is a dedicated speech pathologist with a passion for helping children develop their communication skills. Her expertise lies in speech, language, and literacy, but she's also experienced in other areas. She has a preference for novelty leggings, and strongly believes that dress-ups are appropriate work wear.
Chris thrives on connecting and creating a positive and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. When she's not working her magic, you might find her relaxing in a pool or enjoying some well-deserved hammock time!
With three kids of her own, two of whom are neurodivergent, she understands the extra load put on families.
Maclain Hegarty
Maclain has a passion for languages. He speaks English and French, and is currently learning Finnish.
He loves to cook, his veggie garden and his wife Kara
He grew up on the Sunshine Coast and knows all the great local places to go.
Despite being known fondly as “The tall man”, Maclain is happiest getting down on the floor and playing, bringing fun and natural language development skills to the fore to support his clients.
Lily Hamilton
Lily will start with us in late April 2026
Lily is full of life and ready to take on a challenge
Lily loves all aspects of speech pathology, and has been working in a community role where she has loved working across the lifespan.
She has a particular interest in AAC, as well as general language development, speech, stuttering and literacy skills. She also is very interested in Parkinson’s and continuing communication support in that age group. Watch this space for new and exciting group programs.
We believe in….
Kids do well when they can
Children inherently want to learn, want to grow, want to interact.
Some children have more difficulty with that than others and need more support.
We work where they are at, fill gaps, help them gain confidence
Parent support and knowledge is just as important
Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed trying to help your child. We are here to coach you and build your confidence and skills, since you are with them far more than us
