Michaela Vivar, BSc, MScA, RSLP

About me: 

I am a registered Speech-Language Pathologist based in Vancouver, BC, with experience practicing across three provinces—British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario. I am passionate about delivering client- and family-centered care to individuals with a wide range of swallowing and communication needs.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Science (Applied) in Speech-Language Pathology from McGill University. I am certified to assess and treat both children and adults, though my clinical focus is in working with adults and seniors.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings across Canada, including acute care hospitals, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, and private practice. I currently specialize in rehabilitation for adults aged 18 and older with Acquired Brain Injuries, such as those resulting from strokes or traumatic brain injuries.

My goal is to support each client’s unique journey toward improved communication, swallowing safety, and quality of life through compassionate, evidence-based care.
