Speech Therapy for Rotorua Region
If you're a Rotorua hospitality professional with voice strain or seeking culturally responsive care for communication challenges, finding therapy that understands professional demands and cultural contexts can be difficult. You deserve flexible, respectful expert care that fits your life and honours your needs. Your story matters.
Rotorua is a major tourism centre where voice-intensive work is common—hospitality, guiding, customer service. With Māori health equity remaining a priority and limited local specialist access, finding culturally responsive speech therapy can be challenging.
We bring Te Whatu Ora hospital expertise to your Rotorua home via secure telehealth. Same-week appointments available—flexible, respectful care that fits professional demands and honours cultural contexts.

You'll need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera, microphone, and reliable internet connection. We use a simple, secure platform that works through your web browser - no special software needed.
Most adult speech, voice, and communication conditions can be effectively treated via telehealth, including voice disorders, chronic cough, stuttering, post-stroke rehabilitation, and swallowing difficulties. During your initial assessment, we'll confirm telehealth suitability for your specific needs.
While we're a private practice, Sacha is a Te Whatu Ora clinician with hospital experience. We can coordinate care with your Rotorua Hospital specialists and provide comprehensive reports for your healthcare team.
We typically offer same-week appointments for Rotorua telehealth sessions, providing much faster access than public services. Evening and weekend slots are available for those with work or whānau commitments.
Initial telehealth assessment (75 minutes): $167. Follow-up sessions (45 minutes): $127. These are lower than in-person rates while providing the same expert care from a Te Whatu Ora clinician.
We can provide invoices for insurance claims. Many insurance providers now cover telehealth speech therapy. We recommend checking with your insurer about coverage for speech-language therapy services.
