131: The One About Using Mindfulness in Therapy with Rachel Musial

Listen to the podcast here

On this episode, I am joined by Rachel Museul, a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist who specializes in mindfulness, mental health and self-care. Rachel is a big sister to two siblings that both attended speech therapy, which ignited her passion for the field. Originally from Chicago, Rachel attended the University of Illinois at Urbayna-Champaign where she studied both Speech Pathology and Spanish. She then completed her Master of Arts in Speech Pathology at Northern Illinois University. Currently residing in Denver, Rachel works as a pediatric home health provider with primarily Spanish-speaking littles aged birth to five. A strong advocate for parent education and involvement, she strives to make speech therapy as functional and practical as possible.
