01
Let’s get acquainted
Not sure where to start? An optional free 15-minute call helps you check whether the services fit your family. It does not replace an initial consultation.
02
Tell me about your child
The initial consultation is for parents only. We discuss your concerns, your child’s history, and the next steps.
03
Find your way forward
Depending on your child’s needs: assessment, therapy, or recommendations. We decide on the next steps together.

The person behind the nest
Hello,
I’m Allixia.
As a bilingual speech-language pathologist and mother of three, I understand busy family life. I created Talking Nest to offer quality support at home, without travel or waiting-room time.
I completed my master’s in speech-language pathology at the University of Ottawa in 2016 and worked with preschool- and school-aged children in two Montreal clinics. I have provided online services since 2021.
My approach brings interactive, age-appropriate activities into a familiar, comfortable environment, helping sound practice feel like play.

You might be wondering…
A few answers,
before we begin.
Who do you work with?
Children and teens ages 3–18 who have difficulties with speech sounds, articulation, or phonology. Services are available in English and French to clients located in Quebec.
Are all appointments online?
Yes. This is an entirely online practice, with no in-clinic appointments. The free call is an opportunity to discuss whether this format could suit your family.
How is the free call different from a consultation?
The optional free call lasts 15 minutes and helps check whether the services fit your needs. The initial consultation is a more detailed clinical appointment, with parents only, to discuss your child’s history and next steps.
What are the fees?
The optional 15-minute call is free. Jane currently lists the 60-minute initial consultation at CA$160. Please confirm the fees and terms for other services with Allixia before starting.
How do I book?
Book a free call or an initial consultation directly through Jane. For general questions, email allixiablouin@nidbavard.ca. Assessments and therapy are arranged with Allixia.
What if my child has other needs?
Talking Nest focuses on articulation and phonology. If your concern relates to another area, contact Allixia to clarify the appropriate next steps, or consult the OOAQ directory.
