Speech, Language, and Swallowing Therapy for All Ages.
Speech, Language, and Swallowing Therapy for All Ages.
I am Holly Baker, a Speech and Language Therapist based in the Lowveld. I offer evidence-based, client-centered therapy to people of all ages, from newborns with feeding difficulties to adults recovering from neurological conditions.
I graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Science in Speech Language Pathology in 2020. After gaining experience in both public and private settings, I have decided to open my own practice.
Starting my own practice has always been a dream of mine, and I'm so excited to be offering services in both White River and Hazyview. I strive to make every session meaningful, effective, and tailored to each person's unique goals.
I work with children of all ages to support their speech, language, and communication skills. This includes helping with speech sound difficulties, language delays, literacy and learning support, autism, and neurological conditions (such as cerebral palsy).
Therapy is always personalised to each child's needs, with a focus on making communication meaningful, functional, and fun.
I provide therapy for adults experiencing difficulties with communication due to neurological conditions (such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's disease, motor neuron disease, or dementia). This includes support for speech clarity, language expression and understanding, cognitive-communication skills (attention, memory, planning and sequencing, problem-solving, etc.), and voice disorders.
Therapy is individualised to suit each person's lifestyle, goals, and daily communication needs.
Swallowing and feeding difficulties can occur at any age, from newborns who struggle to feed to adults experiencing changes due to illness, injury, or ageing. I provide thorough assessment and intervention for both paediatric and adult clients with dysphagia (swallowing disorders). This includes supporting children with feeding challenges, guiding safe swallowing practices, and helping individuals manage meal times with greater ease and safety.
I work closely with families and medical teams to ensure a holistic and effective approach to care.
