Meet Jess
Your therapist.
Your child’s cheerleader.
Your partner in progress.
Hi, I’m Jess, a paediatric speech pathologist with a soft spot for little people, big feelings, and communication that comes in all forms.
I started Little Sprouts because I wanted therapy to feel less clinical and more human.
When children are nurtured and parents are supported, confidence, connection, and growth follow.
Unsure where to start, or what your options are?
I’ll explain everything.
