Wini murphey, m.sc rslp(c)
co-founder, clinical director, speech-language pathologist
Wini’s passion for communication started early. Through her work in therapeutic horseback riding, she discovered her talent for connecting with kids, especially those with neurological differences. This led her to pursue speech-language pathology, where she’s made a lasting impact. After earning her degree in Speech Sciences from UBC, Wini spent six years as a behavioral interventionist, deepening her skills in early intervention and autism support. She’s passionate about providing play-based, neurodiversity-affirming therapies to kids of all ages, with a special focus on phonological disorders and persistent speech sound errors. She is one of the only SLPs in BC that utilizes ultrasound technology in practice. Wini’s creative, movement-oriented approach makes learning fun and functional.
