Meet Our Team
Savi Hamal
Founder | Speech Pathologist | Orofacial MyologistSavi Hamal is the founder of Savi Communicators, a practice dedicated to empowering children and adults who have difficulties with communication and to find their voice and participate meaningfully in the community.
She works collaboratively with a wide range of health professionals to advocate for orofacial myology and feeding difficulties. Currently on her own orofacial myology journey, Savi understands firsthand the impact oral dysfunctions can have. This lived experience fuels her passion for addressing the root cause of challenges not just the symptoms and for educating others about the importance of early, functional intervention.
A key goal for Savi is to advocate for and educate the community on celebrating each individual’s differences. She began this mission by becoming an active member of the Nepalese Australian Allied Health Professionals Association (NAAHPA), where she has served on the National Executive Team since 2023. She also represents NAAHPA as a spokesperson. Through this role, Savi is able to raise awareness about the acceptance of all disabilities and highlight the value of speech pathology services in Nepal, for both families and health professionals.
She is inspired by the words of Robert M. Hensel: “There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more.”
Savi has recently taken on a new role as a Clinical Educator for the University of Sydney, supervising speech pathology students through placement opportunities.
Outside of work, Savi enjoys spending time with her two cats, Cupcakes and Muffinsa and fiancé, creating TikTok content, and embracing new adventures.

Upon returning she has been doing disability support work, typically with adults, assisting in tasks of daily living.
