• Speech-language pathologists
• Occupational therapists
• Therapy assistants
• Educational consultants
• Behavioural consultants
• Psychologists

We work closely with other professionals and welcome their input. Most of our services are covered through extended health plans.

Joyce Hignett MSc.SLP(C), Reg. CASLPO

Speech Language Pathologist

Joyce is the owner of Speak Freely Therapy Services as well as the primary speech-language pathologist. She is a born and raised prairie girl (Go Riders!) who attended university in Saskatoon and North Dakota, earning her Master’s Degree in 1990.

After years of working in various settings, she has settled into operating her private practice.

Professionally, Joyce loves to be very thorough, analyzing clients’ strengths and needs, and brainstorming and collaborating with her colleagues. Making all that analysis translate into positive changes for her clients is the best feeling!

Joyce loves spending time with her grandson (her most favourite person on the planet), as well as her sweet Mexican rescue dog, and her husband and kids (who are also pretty nice).

“I am so proud of the amazingly talented team that has evolved over time. Being the creator and nucleus of Speak Freely is the culmination of years of hard work. Some days are awe-inspiring, others are challenging, but it is always, always satisfying and gratifying.”

Jaime Allan

Jaime is the face behind the desk, the voice on the phone, and the keeper of the lollipops. The saying “Keep calm and carry on” could have been written about her. Jaime is eternally cool, calm, collected and positive. All the clients love her and the team does too. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to clone the support staff that make the rest of us look good?

Jaime keeps very busy with her husband, step-daughter, two busy sons, and one crazy dog.

“Life is like a bowl of suckers. Sometimes the colour you want is gone, but it’s still a sweet treat.”
