Nice to meet you, I am Lauri Moriah
I am Lauri Moriah and I am an Australian and Israeli qualified Speech Language Pathologist and Feeding Therapist. I am a mom of 3 boys and know firsthand what it can feel like as a parent to be stressed or anxious when it comes to your child having difficulties feeding and eating.
Feeding and eating difficulties are often not spoken about or fully understood, even by some health professionals. As a parent, there can be a lot of frustration that comes with this and I often hear parents explain that they felt like no one really listened to them, but they didn’t know where to turn. Parents know their children better than anyone, and if you feel like feeding or eating is a struggle, trust your gut!
I am extremely passionate about working together with families to create positive and successful eating experiences! I qualified as a Speech and Language Pathologist in 2012 from The University of Sydney. Over the years, I have worked across paediatrics with a focus on speech and feeding difficulties.
In 2019, I moved to Israel with my family and completed my conversion license as an Israeli Speech and Language Pathologist, as well as, opening my private practice- HaMakor. I have trained in a multitude of courses including; TalkTools level 1 and 2, Food Chaining, Feed the Peds and more. I am also currently completing my Lactation Certification.
