Speech Therapy for Manawatū Region

Palmerston North serves 180,000+ people across Manawatū, Horowhenua, and Tararua. With an aging population and specialist shortages affecting rural NZ, accessing timely speech therapy has become increasingly difficult—with hospital GP referrals and high demand creating significant wait times.

We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your Manawatū home via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—no Palmerston North Hospital drives, no parking stress, no rural travel barriers.

Sacha Allnatt (NZSTA #12789, 15+ years Te Whatu Ora) specialises in voice disorders, chronic cough, swallowing difficulties, and upper airway conditions. Gentle, evidence-based therapy from home. WINZ funding may be available.
