Meet Sonia, Founder
Sonia Hiller, MS, CCC-SLP
Sonia is a passionate speech-language pathologist who believes therapy should go beyond teaching techniques—it should take a whole-person approach to improve communication, breathing, and overall well-being.
She earned her Master’s degree from Midwestern University and has pursued specialized training in sleep-disordered breathing (including snoring and sleep apnea), tethered oral tissues, sensory integration, thumb sucking, and myofunctional therapy. She is also PROMPT-trained, a technique used to treat motor speech disorders. Sonia developed and led a stuttering enrichment program for the Los Angeles Unified School District and holds licensure in California and Colorado.
With experience in a variety of settings—including inpatient and outpatient clinics, private practice, home health, and schools—Sonia has worked with clients in child language, social communication, stuttering, and speech sound disorders. Her approach integrates articulation therapy, myofunctional therapy and/or feeding therapy, and oral-motor exercises to support speech clarity, sleep, breathing, and eating habits.
