Meet Our Director
In recent years, I have specialised in rehabilitation, aged care, and palliative care, allowing me to develop extensive expertise in assessing, intervening, and educating clients with acquired brain injuries, strokes, neurological conditions, and complex medical issues. I am dedicated to providing client-centered therapy that focuses on functional outcomes across the lifespan. My passion lies in advocating for my clients, supporting and educating their families and social circles, and helping everyone achieve their best possible outcomes.
Having began my career working in the South Australian regions I wanted to again connect with those communities! Understanding that access to speech pathology services can be limited in remote areas, ‘Sound and Strength’, strives to deliver quality health care services to regional communities whether that be face-to-face or via telepractice.
Understanding that each individual has unique needs and circumstances, I am committed to working closely with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to provide holistic, coordinated care.
If you are a referral agency or similar I would love to discuss opportunities for regional clinics with you.
Hi, I’m Annabella Facchin and
this is Sound and Strength.
Throughout my career as a Speech Pathologist, I have gained experience across a variety of settings, including acute hospitals, sub-acute inpatient care, restorative care, outpatient services, and community environments in both metropolitan and rural areas. I have also worked in educational settings, including kindergartens and schools, where I focused on supporting children’s communication and language development.
