We’ve been seeing Melissa Compton since 2021, and the progress my daughter has made with her feeding has been truly incredible. Melissa has not only helped us through every step of our feeding therapy journey but has also supported me as a mum trying to navigate the overwhelming amount of advice from different specialists. She has a wonderful way of cutting through the medical jargon and making everything easy to understand. Melissa’s guidance has gone well beyond her area of expertise—she’s been an incredible source of reassurance and confidence for me when I’ve felt unsure or confused. I’m so grateful for her care, expertise, and kindness over the years. We couldn’t have asked for a better therapist and support on this journey.

Mel is fantastic - she has such a great approach, very considered and pragmatic, doesn’t jump to conclusions and gives really practical advice. She really put my daughter at ease as well as myself (after we had a previous bad experience with another feeding therapist). She is super supportive which I really valued due to the stress caused by feeding challenged. Highly recommend!

We had a 23weeker who was on an NG tube for the first 5 months of her life in NICU. When we were discharged from hospital at 5 months old we were recommended by a dietitian to start sessions with Melissa to help with babies bottle latch and feeding. Melissa was an absolute godsend and worked close with us for so much of our feeding journey before we relocated interstate. We still reach out when we have questions or concerns even though we have a new therapist interstate. Melissa was a fierce advocate for our little one and went above and beyond to speak with other specialists and medical professionals to ensure a holistic approach was taken in our babies health. She also advocated for necessary procedures to be done urgently instead of being on the extremely long wait lists which proved very fruitful results to help us move forward with appropriate therapies for baby. Melissa has a very warm, bubbly and friendly demeanour and is a no judgement zone. As a NICU parent you always feel a bit of guilt for the position your baby is in, Melissa was just as much our support system as she was for baby. We can never thank Melissa enough and highly recommend her to any family with NICU babies or families who just need her incredible services.

I cannot recommend Melissa enough! When I was looking for specific support, Melissa went above and beyond to ease my worries and anxiety. Her professionalism and knowledge not only helped our family and little one, but she also supported our journey to find other allied support services for our family. Melissa greeted us with a positive and warm welcome each visit and made our little one feel right at ease. She even held space for our eldest child to feel welcomed into our initial therapy session which helped bridge the gap we so desperately needed. I will continue to recommend Melissa to people who need assistance. We thank Melissa for her help throughout our challenging experience and even though we are no longer seeing her, we still keep her up to date and she is so happy to hear the progress updates.

Melissa is an amazing support for my daughter Harper who is 3 and is ASDL3. Melissa listens to what the parent is saying and will always make sure to understand, discuss and support all involved. Melissa endeavours to find ways and offer supports that are not your average in the box. On many many occasions we have contacted Melissa in tears and not knowing what we can do. Every time Melissa has been the voice of reason and has provided us with so much info and not once made us feel of no value. Melissa validates us and acknowledges the struggles each child has and each child's uniqueness. Melissa is a miracle worker in assisting our daughter face her hurdles with food. We live approx 3 hours away from where Melissa practices. Melissa has accommodated us with whatever time we needed and also has been amazing with zoom calls. We would recommend Melissa to any parent that has a child with eating issues or ASD. Melissa Thank you for all your continued help

I was recommended Melissa from my daughter's Nurse. I was so lucky Melissa was able to take her on so quickly as we were desperate for help for my complex babe. Since being with Melissa she has come leaps and bounds. From being nil by mouth to now eating solid foods. She has helped educate me and gave me the confidence I needed for my daughter. Melissa has continuously fought along side us and helped advocate tirelessly for my daughter and as a mother it is so important to have someone so skilled and passionate in your corner. Melissa has participated in multiple multidisciplinary meetings regarding my daughter's care and has made lots of plans and suggestions to help move her forward. I am beyond grateful we have Melissa as apart of my daughter's team. I would and do highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone with such skill in speech therapy as well as to those who have a complex baby or child needing help with feeding. She has truely changed and helped give my daughter a quality of live. Thankyou Melissa.

I was referred to Melissa by my paediatrician when my two month old daughter was not feeding well via the bottle. Prior to meeting Melissa for our first appointment, she took the time to ring us to gather important information in regards to her feeding issues so that on the day we could spend time problem solving and finding solutions to help our little girl stop snacking and cluster feeding all day long. Melissa was attentive and extremely understanding in her professional recommendations and advice and most importantly took the time to go through various strategies with us. We did meet some other challenges along the way months down the track due to seasonal sickness where other feeding issues emerged. We contacted Melissa and she called us back straight away and listened to our concerns and gave us lots of reassurances, this was all done without any mentions of fees/charges. We are grateful of her care and generosity of her time! Well for sure keep Melissa around for future support!

The best thing that happened to us is coming across Melissa, she has been a great help and comfort in my daughter’s eating challenges and feeding difficulties. I saw doctors for many years who all pushed away my concerns until i finally found Melissa, she has helped us so much and continues to help us through this long challenge with feeding. Since the moment we found her it has been very comforting and reassuring that my daughter is getting the help that she needs. I highly recommend any mum or dad to visit Melissa with children that need her help she is a god send xx
