Testimonials
"We are so grateful to have connected with Michelle [...] when I suffered a stroke while being operated on for a blocked carotid artery. My speech was affected by the stroke, leaving me with Aphasia and we honestly didn’t know where to turn. Waiting for an outpatient call from the hospital at the time did not seem like the right option for me. Then, we found Michelle through a family member who helped us with our search. There was a bond immediately as soon as we met her even though the sessions were all done virtually. Michelle made the process of speech therapy interesting and fun for me because she focused on the things I was passionate about, like lobster fishing. Michelle also made sure that my wife was included in my progress through the many updates that we had reminding us that as a family we were all going through this together. After a lot of hard work and with Michelle’s guidance I have come so far since last November. My family and I will be forever indebted to her for taking me on this journey to my recovery. I have discovered so many things that I am good at because of Michelle’s teaching like writing short stories that I would have never done before. Michelle’s dedication, support and patience to her clients is first class and she will never know how profoundly she has affected our lives. Michelle is truly not just our speech language pathologist; she is now a lifelong friend of ours."
