MS. TIALLA OTR/L, C/NDT Ms. Tialla is originally from Maui and recently moved back to Oahu from New York City with her husband and son. A pediatric occupational therapist since 2012, she has worked in various settings, including hospitals, schools, and sensory integration clinics.

Inspired by her mother’s disability, she strives to support families in understanding their children's unique experiences so that they can function more fully and independently. Tialla’s most treasured place on Oahu is the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden. She loves to explore art museums, parks, and good book stores. She also loves to be on, near, or in the water, especially at her top beaches of Waimea, Ko Olina, and Lanikai.

MS. JULIA M.S. CCC-SLP, CLC Julia was born and raised in Kāneʻohe and attended school just down the road on Mookua Street. She later earned her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from Loma Linda University in Southern California. After spending some time on the West Coast, she was grateful for the opportunity to move back home to Hawaiʻi to be near family as she began her own.
Early in her career, she developed a strong passion for supporting children’s language and literacy development. In preparation for becoming a parent—and with a desire to support other families—she became a Certified Lactation Counselor in Spring 2024. After welcoming her son in May 2024, she felt a deep pull toward early pediatric feeding, an area that has become both professionally and personally meaningful. She believes that connection is at the heart of effective therapy—not only with the children she works with but with their families as well. She especially values co-treatment sessions with occupational therapists, where collaboration helps children achieve regulation. When children feel calm and safe in their bodies, they are better prepared to learn, communicate, and connect. Her goal is always to create a warm, trusting environment where every child and parent feels seen, supported, and empowered. Outside of the therapy room, she enjoys spending time with her family, beach days, hiking to waterfalls, and staying current with research in the field of speech-language pathology. |
