Our team.
Mohini
Director, Speech Pathologist
Hi, I’m Mohini. I grew up in the Northern Rivers and returned home after a stint in the Northern Territory and then Sydney to complete my studies at Macquarie University.​ I’m passionate about helping people of all abilities reach their communication and swallowing goals, in ways that feel positive and meaningful to them. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+-inclusive approach and adore getting to know each client and their wonderful support teams. My experience spans schools, childcare, disability, aged care, private clinics, Aboriginal health and community visits. I am a registered provider of the Sounds-Write Literacy Program, the Lidcombe Program (stuttering) and the SPEAK OUT® program for Parkinson's related voice disorders.

Service areas: Northern Rivers, Tweed Valley/Coast, online & Murwillumbah clinic.

I'm also a mother of two, sci-fi enthusiast, pasta lover and a total book worm!
Amy
Practice Manager
I'm thrilled to be a part of the Banksia Speech Pathology family. It's a privilege to work alongside a group of remarkable women who share a deep commitment to supporting children and adults in their speech and communication needs. Having spent many years in administration, I have always been driven by a strong desire to learn, adapt, and contribute to the growth of a business.
​
While I’m not working, I take the opportunity to get outdoors and explore new camping spots with my fluffy German Shepherd Ragnar. I enjoy hiking many trails the Gold Coast and Northern NSW have to offer and am always on the lookout for waterfalls along the way.
Jenny
Speech Pathologist
Hello there! I'm Jenny, a passionate speech pathologist with a heart for making meaningful connections and fostering growth. I find immense joy in working with children who face feeding difficulties such as picky eating, helping them navigate their journey to happier and healthier eating habits using a family-centred approach. Additionally, I am deeply committed to supporting adults with aphasia and Parkinson's disease, empowering them to reclaim their voices and communicate with confidence. I am a licensed SPEAK OUT! provider who enjoys working with people of all ages. My approach to therapy is rooted in fostering not just effective communication and/or swallowing, but also in building confidence. I firmly believe that every person, regardless of age or circumstance, deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Service areas: Tweed/Gold Coast, online & Murwillumbah clinic on Thursdays.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and reading.
Lucy
Speech Pathologist
Hi, I’m Lucy. I have a Masters of Speech Pathology and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, both from Griffith University in Queensland. I have worked with the Banksia team since 2023 and absolutely love all the incredible women I have had the pleasure to work with.
I’m passionate about supporting vulnerable populations to achieve their communication and swallowing goals. I value individuality, celebrate diversity, and believe therapy should be flexible and tailored to each person’s unique needs.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my two beautiful children or winding down with a good book.
Bluebell
Speech Pathologist
Hi, I’m Bluebell. A Speech Pathologist and a graduate of Southern Cross University. I chose this career in high school, inspired by the opportunity to support people of all ages to achieve meaningful communication goals and improve their quality of life.
​
Through my university clinical placements, I’ve gained experience working with both children and adults across a range of settings. I’ve loved the variety that speech pathology offers and genuinely enjoy working across the lifespan, supporting clients with diverse communication needs in practical, supportive, and client-centred ways.
​
I’ve been part of the Banksia Speech Pathology team for nearly two years as a Therapy Assistant, which has allowed me to develop strong relationships with clients, families and the team. I have gained valuable insight into service delivery across both paediatric and adult caseloads. I’m incredibly excited to now step into my role as a Speech Pathologist and continue supporting clients as part of the Banksia team.
​
I value building strong therapeutic relationships and working collaboratively with clients, families and support networks to help achieve goals that matter in everyday life.

Service areas: Tweed Valley/Coast, Murwillumbah clinic & online

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors, especially at the beach with a good book.
