Karina is a passionate paediatric Speech Pathologist with over a decade of experience working with children and families. She is the proud founder and Director of Amaze Children’s Therapy (formerly Talking Tykes Speech Pathology). She works primarily in paediatric private practice, while also drawing on experience in education and disability settings.

​

Karina has a special interest in supporting children with speech and articulation difficulties, as well as those developing early literacy skills. She is trained in both the Lidcombe Program and the Restart DCM approach, which are evidence-based treatments for stuttering in young children.

​

At home, Karina is a devoted mum to three energetic kids, two playful border collies, and one very independent cat. She truly understands the joys and challenges of family life, and this understanding shapes everything she does.

 

Family is at the heart of Amaze Children’s Therapy. From day one, it has been a space designed with families in mind and continues to be a welcoming, supportive environment for both clients and team members.
