About Us
Kurliand Speech Clinic was born from a shared passion for helping others communicate. Our story began when we met during our undergraduate studies at York University and realized we both wanted to become Speech-Language Pathologists. After completing our Master’s degrees in Linguistics, we were married in 2020. In 2021, we relocated to Australia to study Speech Pathology at Flinders University. Once we completed our studies, we returned to Canada to begin our careers as Speech-Language Pathologists.
