Hi, I’m Paula Dumitriu, the owner of Speech Bloom. I have been practicing in this field for over 18 years and have worked with a variety of clients from infants to aging adults. I started my career in a school district and after several years transitioned into private practice where I expanded my expertise to include treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders, feeding disorders, as well as accent modification. I am passionate about helping others and celebrating their successes. I am a wife and a mother of two teenage boys and in my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and baking. I look forward to working with you in the future.
