Rose Denby is a Director & Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist | 10+ years working
With over a decade of experience as a paediatric speech pathologist, Rose founded First Bites Speech Pathology to support infants and young children experiencing feeding, eating, and mealtime challenges.
Rose holds a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master of Speech Pathology from La Trobe University. She has undertaken additional specialised training in paediatric feeding and has worked across both Australia and the United Kingdom, bringing a broad range of clinical experience to her practice.
Rose is particularly passionate about responsive, relationship-based feeding therapy. She takes a holistic, family-centred approach, recognising that mealtimes are about more than just food—they are opportunities for connection, learning, and trust.
Rose works collaboratively with caregivers to build children’s confidence and skills with food while creating positive, enjoyable mealtime experiences for the whole family.
