Rachelle is the director of BillyLids Therapy, and big sister to Rosanna. She has had a long and varied career in the health sector and has completed multiple degrees and qualifications, including a Masters of Speech Pathology.
Rachelle began her career in nursing, working with individuals who had recently had surgery, before completing a postgraduate qualification in midwifery. As a midwife, Rachelle developed a special interest in infant feeding and enjoyed close working relationships with new mums in providing education and helping them to navigate their new life roles. Rachelle is still passionate about supporting parents and carers, and is one of the driving forces behind our clinic-wide focus on creating an inclusive environment where families feel welcome.
In 2022, she and Rosanna teamed up to launch BillyLids Therapy. Rachelle has had her own experiences and challenges in navigating healthcare services for children, and imagined BillyLids Therapy to be the kind of service that she would appreciate as a mum – the highest quality care for her children, in a supportive and child-friendly environment where everyone felt valued.
Rachelle is mum to three school aged billylids, as well as Stella the Labradoodle pup. She is a soccer mum through and through, and on the weekends you will find her on the soccer field, cheering on one of her three billylids or volunteering at her local club. Stella the labradoodle is a four-legged soccer fan, too.
