“The Mindful Speech Path”
Hi, I’m Megan O’Brien, aka
As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with nearly 30 years of experience, I specialize in coaching families, caregivers, and
early childhood educators to support language learning and social-emotional development in children from birth to age 5.
My approach is rooted in research-based, practical strategies that enhance communication and connection during everyday interactions. As a certified yoga instructor and holistic life coach I bring a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and mindful perspective to every interaction.
Together we'll build strong language foundations and resilient little ones using an eclectic approach.
Nurturing hearts and minds together

I have found Megan’s coaching to be effective in developing my skills as an educator. She coached me in language and communication skills for several months. I work with young children and continue to use her strategies. I appreciate Megan’s dedication and patience as a coach. I learned from Megan effective strategies for promoting language development and interpersonal communication skills among children in my class. I have scored high in CLASS and ITERS as a result of coaching from Megan. Thank you Megan!

I have attended numerous workshops and also had the pleasure to receive direct coaching with Ms. Megan. The courses and coaching were so enlightening and informative. I use several of the techniques every day when working with students. I am now able to identify the different stages of language development in young children, so that I can actively support them in the classroom to express their wants and needs. My students have shown growth in their language and I feel more confident as a teacher about acknowledging their efforts to communicate with me in the classroom. Ms. Megan has taught me that something as small as “waiting” is so powerful and can make a difference in supporting children’s communication. The tools I’ve learned help children to take more turns in an interaction and taught me how to turn book reading into a conversation. The trainings and coaching I received with Ms. Megan has changed my perception about speech and language. I will never forget the skills that she has taught me and will continue to use them in my career forever.
