About

Hi, it’s nice to meet you!

My name is Elyse. I’m a Speech Therapist Mama who is passionate about sharing information regarding communication skills, myofunctional disorders, parenting, and holistic health. My personal journey of infertility lead me down a path of discovery and enlightenment when it comes to overall health and awareness of toxins we are exposed to in our every day lives. By the grace of God, and with the help of changes in my lifestyle, I now am the proud Mama to two incredible toddlers! I provide speech therapy services to clients of all ages and abilities. (Hablo español!) My son’s recent difficulties with tongue-tie have led me to become certified in Myofunctional Therapy. Did you know that speech, sleep, eating, and overall health can be directly impacted by myofunctional disorders such as tongue-tie, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and need for orthodontics?

As a certified group fitness instructor, certified wellness coach, and advocate for clean and low toxin living, I’m passionate about how incorporating movement and healthy habits into everyday can benefit all realms of our lives. I strive to speak life to others by modeling and encouraging healthy habits for everyone in the family. Through my wellness coaching program, I incorporate biblical and faith filled strategies to improve wellness mind, body, and soul!

Education: I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Disorders at the University of Wisconsin Madison and then went on to receive my Master’s Degree in Speech Language Pathology from Marquette University. I have worked in a variety of settings including: schools, private pediatric therapy clinic, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities. I am a certified Simon Says myofunctional therapy provider. I enjoy working with clients of all ages to improve their quality of life through targeted therapy and family education about functional communication, articulation, cognition, and feeding/swallowing.

I am a NETA certified Wellness Coach and Les Mills certified group fitness instructor.

At Speaking Life Speech Therapy & Wellness, we focus on providing exceptional services, resources, and support to the whole family. We are here to unleash the health & wellness potential of you and your family through the use of excellent clinical speech and language techniques, compassionate coaching, and empowering education.
