Ko Loren Walker tōku ingoa

 

​

             Kia ora, I'm Loren Walker, Speech Language Therapist and Director of The Education SLT

​

I moved to Nelson in 2000 and, after studying and working in the North Island, returned in 2008 with my Husband. We have two beautiful children and enjoy exploring the outdoors together.

I have a Bachelor of Speech Language Therapy from The University of Canterbury (2005) and am a Registered Member of the New Zealand Speech Language Therapy Association.

After working for the Ministry of Education, supporting learners from Early Childhood to College for 18 years,  I now offer services through my private practice while also working at our local specialist school.

​

I am supported in my practice by Rachel Culley, SLT. Rachel and I worked together for 10 years and she provides contracted support for learners through The Education SLT.

Ko Rachel Culley tōku ingoa

​

Kia ora, I'm Rachel Culley, Speech Language Therapist at The Education SLT.

 

I grew up in Queenstown and moved to Nelson in 2015 with my Husband, after studying and working in Christchurch and Dunedin. We have two young children and enjoy camping, days at the beach and exploring the beautiful Nelson/Tasman region. 

 

I have a Bachelor of Speech Language Therapy from The University of Canterbury (2011) and am a Registered Member of the New Zealand Speech Language Therapy Association.

 

For the past 13 years, I have worked for the Ministry of Education, supporting learners from Early Childhood to College. I now also offer private services through contracted work with The Education SLT.

 

I am passionate about supporting children and young people to be confident and successful communicators, and empowering whānau and educators to be a central part of this journey.
