About me

I work with children, their speech and the functions that shape everyday development.

I am a clinical neurospeech therapist, myotherapist and myofunctional therapist. In my practice I combine speech therapy, neurospeech therapy, dental speech therapy and myofunctional therapy, because speech, breathing, swallowing, chewing and bite development are closely connected.

Education

Language, speech therapy and clinical preparation.

I graduated in Polish Philology from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Speech Therapy from the University of Wroclaw and Clinical Neurospeech Therapy from the Medical Academy in Wroclaw.

I hold a C1 Advanced certificate in English and a TEFL Certificate. I am personally interested in learning foreign languages. Going through the process of building new language and communication skills myself helps me better understand the challenges children face.

The most rewarding part of my work is observing this process closely: the moments when a child begins to speak more clearly, communicates needs with greater ease, gains confidence and a stronger sense of agency. Relationships with children and parents are an important part of therapy for me, and they motivate me to keep developing my knowledge and experience.
