Speech Language Pathologist

Laura Michie is delighted to be with Healing Circles Wellness Center.  Laura is a certified speech language pathologist who treats both children and adults who present with communication disorders due to stroke, head injury, Alzheimer ’s disease, autism, cerebral palsy, speech and language developmental delays, and progressive neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.  Laura strongly believes that communication is vital for a fulfilling life and that speaking, hearing, understanding speech, reading, and writing connect us to what is most important – our families, friends, jobs, schools, and communities.
