Hi I'm Carly
I am the director and principal Speech Pathologist here at Hastings Macleay Speech Pathology. I graduated from The University of Newcastle in 2011 and have worked extensively with adults and aged care patients ever since.
My Story
My work experience has been extremely diverse having lived in Sydney and regional parts of QLD & NSW. My hubby, Cavoodle & I decided a relocation to Port Macquarie was just what we needed to continue enjoying our love of the outdoors, swimming and gardening. Since opening HM Speech in early 2020, my family has expanded and we have two beautiful little girls.
​
My true passion is working with neurological communication and swallowing disorders and voice disorders.. I am qualified to do Videofluoroscopy Swallow Studies (VFSS) and LSVT LOUD ® (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment). With expertise in swallowing and communication management, I provide support and treatment options, particularly in more complex cases such as degenerative neurological conditions (MND).

​
