Joni Howell
Leadership Team
What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?
I choose to be a speech pathologist as I am passionate about making a meaningful impact in people's lives by enabling them to achieve success in relationships, at school or work and to be the best that they can possibly be.
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
I have spent most of my career working with a wide range of paediatric clients and their families. During this time, I developed a passion for supporting families to develop stronger relationships and understanding each other's needs. My training and experience has shaped how I work with families and in considering the whole family unit in the therapeutic process. I also have a strong passion for working with school aged children in their literacy development as well as supporting their ability to access the academic curriculum.
What's your favourite part of your job?
My favourite part about supporting children and families is the joy that comes from witnessing a child's progress and seeing the positive impact it has on their lives and their families. I cherish the opportunity to build strong relationships with families, providing them with the guidance and support they need to navigate their child's developmental journey. The collaborative and personal nature of this work make a lasting difference to my clients.
As a manager, I love coaching and developing other clinicians and having the opportunity to inspire and guide them toward their professional growth. Witnessing their progress and successes is highly rewarding, as it not only contributes to their personal development but also improves the quality of care for our clients.
Why did you join Superyou?
As clinicians, we are very good at helping others, but not so great at looking after ourselves. I've always believed that if clinicians are looked after, they are supported and happy, then their clients will reap the benefits. They will get a clinician who is innovative and creative, that can put in 110%, can hold space for them and support them. When I discovered Superyou's philosophy that clinicians come first, I knew I had found a company that mirrored my own values and couldn't wait to sign up!
What does Reimagining Therapy look like to you?
Reimagining therapy means moving beyond traditional methods to find more effective, engaging, and accessible ways to support clients. It requires fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, where clinicians are encouraged to explore new ideas, collaborate, and push the boundaries of what is possible.

Larissa Massari
Wanneroo
What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?
I've always enjoyed working with others and having the opportunity to help other people - so working in healthcare was always something I wanted to do. However, it took me a while to figure out which healthcare sector I wanted to go into - so first I did Nursing (and discovered it wasn't something I loved). Then I completed a Bachelor in Anatomy and Human Bio and did a broadening unit in Italian - which was when I discovered my passion for languages. Then choosing Speech Pathology was kind of an easy decision - as it combined science, languages, and the opportunity to support others 🙂
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
This is a hard question as there are so many areas in speech that I would like to learn more about! At the moment, I'm really enjoying learning more about early intervention and social skills. Every single client that I see has different strengths and areas requiring support, so it's exciting to learn more so that I can provide the best support possible.
What's your favourite part of your job?
My favourite part of the job is being able to work with a variety of clients and having such a supportive team that are always there to make my day happier and easier!
Why did you join Superyou?
I had my last student placement at Superyou which helped me learn more about the disability sector (and fall in love with it). Also, this gave me the opportunity to work with the team and learn more about Superyou's team culture/philosophy - which I thought was amazing and so so supportive! Having a supportive and positive work environment is very important to me, so even before I graduated I had no doubt where I wanted to work!
What does Reimagining Therapy look like to you?
Making sure every single session and therapy plan is tailored to my clients' interests and likes, to support their engagement and make therapy fun!
Wild card question - what else should we know about you!
I was born and raised in Brazil - which helps me understand a bit more about cultural diversity and how to better support multicultural clients in therapy.

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?
I chose Occupational Therapy because I aspire to help people become the best version of themselves that they can be. This looks different for everyone which I love. I enjoy helping people understand that their differences are what makes them special and supporting them to advocate for their needs and desires. Occupational Therapy allows me to learn new things every day and use a holistic approach to therapy.
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
I am still in the process of finding out what my special interests are throughout my journey at Superyou. I like having the flexibility to try out new things. I hope to develop the skills to work with psychosocial clients and to help people learn how to find love and develop mature relationships.
What's your favourite part of your job?
I enjoy helping people understand their emotions and how their emotions impact their behaviour. I love exploring sensory preferences and understanding what makes each person tick, or ick. My favourite part of the job is learning from my clients.
Why did you join Superyou?
I joined Superyou because they looked Super cool and supportive. I love the flexibility and the emphasis they have on learning, development, and delivering the best experience we can to our clients.

Leadership Team
,Wanneroo
Maddie is a Team Lead Occupational Therapist based at Superyou’s Wanneroo office, with over five years’ experience working in the disability sector and a further 1.5–2 years in aged care. She has supported clients across the lifespan, with her strongest areas of practice sitting within the psychosocial space and with individuals who require assistive technology (AT) or mealtime supports. Maddie has extensive experience working with teenagers and young adults through to adults, which aligns closely with the functional capacity assessments (FCAs) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) work she regularly completes. She values the opportunity to work alongside people from diverse backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences, and believes every client brings something new to learn from.
Maddie’s key areas of interest and expertise include assistive technology, mealtimes support, and working with psychosocial clients, with FCAs a strong bonus area of practice. She is passionate about understanding the whole person and supporting people to live lives that feel fulfilling, authentic, and aligned with their goals. Whether she’s helping someone navigate psychosocial challenges, identify the right AT solutions, support positive and safe mealtime experiences, or complete comprehensive assessments, Maddie brings a practical, empathetic, and evidence‑based approach to her work, always with a focus on building confidence and independence.
Her approach to therapy is relaxed, supportive, and collaborative. Maddie believes therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, with the client as the expert in their own life. She creates a calm and comfortable space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to guide the direction of therapy. Maddie focuses on what truly matters to each person, working alongside them to build meaningful, achievable strategies that fit naturally into their daily routines, environments, and lifestyle. Her goal is to support people to do the things they want and need to do in a way that feels sustainable, respectful, and genuinely supportive of their journey.
Maddie is deeply committed to ongoing learning and leadership, having completed extensive training in assistive technology, Sonia’s Postural Assessment training, SOS Approach to Feeding (integrated through a neurodiversity‑affirming lens), SDA and minor home modifications training, as well as STARA supervision training and Michelle Bihary’s supervision program. Outside of work, Maddie is an active, social person who loves spending time with family and friends. She plays and coaches netball, enjoys Muay Thai, hiking, running, and coastal walks, and is happiest outdoors (weather permitting!). When she slows down, she’s usually deep in a romantasy or fantasy novel. What Maddie loves most about her work is her team — the culture, connection, and shared growth at SY are something she’s incredibly proud of, and a big reason she shows up excited each day.

Whether she’s helping someone navigate psychosocial challenges, identify the right AT solutions, support positive and safe mealtime experiences, or complete comprehensive assessments, Maddie brings a practical, empathetic, and evidence‑based approach to her work, always with a focus on building confidence and independence.
Her approach to therapy is relaxed, supportive, and collaborative. Maddie believes therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, with the client as the expert in their own life. She creates a calm and comfortable space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to guide the direction of therapy. Maddie focuses on what truly matters to each person, working alongside them to build meaningful, achievable strategies that fit naturally into their daily routines, environments, and lifestyle. Her goal is to support people to do the things they want and need to do in a way that feels sustainable, respectful, and genuinely supportive of their journey.
Maddie is deeply committed to ongoing learning and leadership, having completed extensive training in assistive technology, Sonia’s Postural Assessment training, SOS Approach to Feeding (integrated through a neurodiversity‑affirming lens), SDA and minor home modifications training, as well as STARA supervision training and Michelle Bihary’s supervision program. Outside of work, Maddie is an active, social person who loves spending time with family and friends. She plays and coaches netball, enjoys Muay Thai, hiking, running, and coastal walks, and is happiest outdoors (weather permitting!). When she slows down, she’s usually deep in a romantasy or fantasy novel. What Maddie loves most about her work is her team — the culture, connection, and shared growth at SY are something she’s incredibly proud of, and a big reason she shows up excited each day.

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?
Since I was young, I always had an interest in working within a health care field. Speech Pathology provides me the opportunity to work in a range of different therapeutic areas, such as augmentative and alternative communication, dysphagia and mealtimes, language and literacy, so my days are never the same! Communication is a human right, so I love that this field provides me the opportunity to empower and support my clients to communicate in the ways that are most meaningful and accessible to them.
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
I have a passion for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). I currently provide supports in direct therapy intervention, as well as a consultant as part of the AAC Specialist team. I enjoy working with clients, families and clinicians to identify communication supports that empower individuals to express themselves, interact with others and participate in their community, in the ways that are most meaningful to them. I also work within the areas of early intervention, mealtimes and dysphagia, and literacy with the Sounds-Write program.
What's your favourite part of your job?
My favourite part of my job is working with my clients and families on a long-term basis, and being able to develop holistic and individualised therapy plans to help them achieve their goals. I put a strong focus on building rapport with my clients, to understand their interests, motivations and unique needs and strengths. By tailoring therapy to each individual's circumstances, I can make a significant and lasting impact on their communication skills and quality of life. Having the opportunity to support a client to develop their ability to communicate, advocate and engage in the way that is most meaningful to them is the most rewarding part of my job.
Why did you join Superyou?
I joined Superyou because of their innovative approach to reimagining therapy. I was drawn to the company's commitment to supporting clinicians in exploring new ways to provide the best support to clients. This forward-thinking environment allows me to continuously develop and implement creative and effective therapy strategies that truly make a difference in my clients' lives, whilst being a part of a collaborative, welcoming and supportive team environment.
What does Reimagining Therapy look like to you?
Reimagining therapy, to me, meanings going beyond the status quo and constantly seeking innovative ways to support and empower our clients, families and their supports. It involves embracing creative to develop personalised and effective therapy strategies.

What drove you to choose a career in your discipline?
I had no idea what I wanted to do coming out of high school, but after speaking to a physio friend who recommended speech pathology, I started doing that and haven't looked back!
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
I really enjoy supporting and learning about stuttering and hope to specialise in this further. I also want to dig deeper in neurorehabilitation and dysphagia.
What's your favourite part of your job?
The amazing team and support to become the best professional and clinician possible!
Why did you join Superyou?
The vibrant and energetic feel it gave off as well as all of the clinicians I had spoken to who were already working at Superyou! I also found the Kickstarter Program to be one of the best graduate programs I had seen around.
What does Reimagining Therapy look like to you?
Reimagining Therapy is about breaking the mould of what the traditional or mainstream therapy looks like. It's not about changing the evidence-base behind therapies, but about including all stakeholders as equals and giving them a seat at the table when deciding what therapy looks like for each client as individiduals.

I chose speech pathology because I love helping people and value the power of communication to connect us. I really enjoy the creative side of the profession—no two sessions are the same, and I’m passionate about being people‑centred and supporting clients in ways that are meaningful to them.
I have a strong interest in multimodal communication and AAC, and I enjoy exploring how different tools can support clients’ everyday communication. I also love working with social communication clients, getting to know their individual communication styles and supporting them throughout their journey. Neurological rehabilitation is another area I’m passionate about, as it’s very meaningful to support people as they adapt and rebuild their communication following life‑changing events.
My favourite part of my job is getting to know clients and families and seeing the world through their perspectives. I feel very privileged to support people to communicate in ways that are meaningful to them, take greater control of their communication, and create positive changes in their own lives. I also love that I’m constantly learning and growing through each interaction.

I really wanted to be able to help people improve their quality of life and engage in activities that were important to them. I also wanted to work in a growing profession that works with clients to achieve their personal goals to increase their independence.
Do you have any special interest areas in therapy?
I have interests in food play therapy, emotional regulation and pediatrics that I hope to get a bit more experience in as I progress.
What's your favourite part of your job?
That everyday there is something new and there is so much variety on the type of work we can do!
Why did you join Superyou?
I joined Superyou because of the supportive and structured Kickstarter program, the fun environment and work culture, and the realistic expectations for Kickstarters! The amount of training and education provided for Kickstarters to develop professional knowledge, as well as the slow progression of caseload, helped ensure my career was able to begin without being overwhelming!
What does Reimagining Therapy look like to you?
Ensuring therapy is person-centered and every approach is specifically tailored to the person and maintaining open and honest communication with clients and families to allow for choice and control over their therapy and informed consent.
