Our Amazing Team

jacqueline Vorndran, CCC-SLP

Jacq is pediatric speech language therapist and owner of Brave Roots Speech Therapy, a nature-based practice based on principles of empowerment, neurodiverse affirming approaches and individualized care.

Her favorite thing about working with children is how in tune they are with the world around them - noticing sounds and interactions that we adults miss daily! When Jacq is not mothering her children or working with her students, she is a competitive soccer player!
