Tip of the Tongue Speech Therapy and Lactation Consulting

Book an Appointment at SYLVAN LAKE - Tip of the Tongue Sylvan Lake- Inside the Connect Business Center (Unit 116)

Welcome to Tip of the Tongue!

We’re a dedicated team of two Speech-Language Pathologists and a Lactation Counsellor, supporting oral function for both infants and adults. Our collaborative approach includes working closely with local health providers to ensure comprehensive, coordinated care.

Please note: During clinic hours, our therapists are often in session. If you call, kindly leave a message—our part-time, off-site practice manager will get back to you as soon as possible. ➡️ For questions about a scheduled appointment, please use the contact details provided in your appointment reminder to reach your therapist directly.

Lactation Support: Lactation care is complex and requires ongoing, responsive support. Follow-up visits and weight checks are key to tracking progress and meeting feeding goals. Sarah, our lactation counsellor, supports families with a range of concerns including milk supply, latch, positioning, suck function, mixed feeding, and more. She also offers prenatal consultations, which can help reduce the risk of early feeding challenges and build confidence before baby arrives. Support for frenectomy-related care is also available when needed. 👉 Please note: Karrie is unavailable for bookings until September 2025

Insurance: We do not offer direct billing. However, services from our Speech-Language Pathologists may be submitted under Speech Therapy benefits for reimbursement.

Locations: 📍 Red Deer: Inside Elle Physiotherapy – #300, 80 Donlevy Ave 📍 Sylvan Lake: Inside Business Connect Centre, 4914 50 Ave (across from the Library)

Booking & Fees: Our rates include both direct and indirect care time. We’re committed to personalized, high-quality support that continues beyond the session itself.
