You Never Had to Think about How You Communicate, Until Aphasia

Aphasia is Complicated.  Let's Unlock Aphasia, Together

Many families are given basic information about aphasia in the early days of rehabilitation. But, looking back, were you prepared to live with aphasia? For many, once the dust has settled after rehabilitation ends and you establish a new routine at home, now what?

Care partners of persons with aphasia want to know...

❓ What kind of aphasia is it

 ❓ What can they do well and what's hard for them  

❓ Why do their words sound right but don't make sense  

❓ Why can't they say what's on their mind  

❓ How can I help them talk better  

❓ I'm really struggling to understand them. Is there hope

Embrace Your Path to Empowerment and Connection

While there's no magic solution to aphasia, understanding the fundamentals of language, cognition, and communication strategies can be a powerful tool in regaining control over your situation.

I know you're here seeking answers, strategies, and anything that might make life with aphasia a bit easier. And I want you to know, I hear you.

Starting a private practice for aphasia and chronic aphasia, creating educational content, and stepping into the public eye was something I could have never imagined. Yet, here I am.

I've listened intently, taken diligent notes, and even dreamed about how I can best support you—the individual living with aphasia—and the dedicated family and care partners who stand by you. I see you.

My goal is to challenge the traditional model of aphasia information dissemination. I aim to bring you content that not only supports your journey but also inspires you to take the next steps toward enhancing communication and deepening connections with your loved ones.

Hi, I’m Genevieve. I created LIFE Speech Pathology®, LIFE Aphasia Academy®, the LIFE Aphasia Collective, and the Listen for LIFE Aphasia Podcast for people like you—who want more than just survival.
If you’re here, you’re probably carrying a lot. Maybe you’ve been dismissed or left guessing. Maybe you’re tired of generic advice that doesn’t match real life with aphasia. Same here. That’s why I built a path forward—for care partners and people with aphasia to rebuild connection, regain confidence, and feel human again.

LIFE isn’t just a program. It’s a movement.
Inside, we learn from each other, make communication easier, and build lives worth living—together.

Wherever you are right now, you’re not alone. Let’s keep going.

I learned so much about aphasia!  The lessons are short and easy to understand.  I am ready for the next phase of my journey so I can talk easier to my granddaughter.  I want more, and I am going to work toward that every day.
