The Holistic SLP
Hello, and welcome! I’m Sherri Huáng, the moving life force behind The Holistic SLP, LLC. I’m an intuitive multidimensional healer and an ASHA-certified multilingual speech and language pathologist licensed in multiple states with 12+ years of experience supporting families and individuals across the lifespan.
I provide high-quality speech and language therapy services that range from empowerment in pediatric speech and language training to heart-centered neurocognitive-linguistic rehabilitation with adults. I offer the unique integration of a full gamut of strongly developed intuitive abilities, guided meditations, breathwork, yoga techniques, naturopathic knowledge, nervous system focus, and several forms of advanced reiki energy healing in a customized approach for each individual I support.
Most of all, I facilitate a creative harmony of the clinical and the intuitive through my whole-person, whole-soul approach to communication training for a transformative process that honors communication ultimately as connection.

Story of
The Holistic SLP
​​​​My background
I was born and raised in a bicultural, multilingual home as a first-generation Asian-American in the Midwestern U.S. Throughout my childhood, as the eldest of four, I enjoyed observing the world around me, analyzing information, taking care of others, and being of service — ultimately to learn more deeply about our humanness. I would also easily spend hours creating “from my imagination,” sketching portraits of strangers I’d somehow see only in my mind’s eye, many of whom I’d meet decades later in life. I would effortlessly see imagery when I’d close my eyes throughout the day and regularly experience lucid dreams at night in familiar and unfamiliar languages. My interests and curiosities naturally guided me to become both a linguist and an artist, eventually connecting me with the more specialized field of speech-language pathology in the most aligned timing.
One theme that has stood out to me since childhood is the seemingly contradicting philosophies and teachings we experience when they are actually meant to harmonize: the Eastern and the Western, the holistic and the clinical, the yin and the yang, the feminine and the masculine, Ego and Spirit. Through my own journey of healing my inner balance and reclaiming my voice, I have dedicated my path to exploring and understanding the intrinsic harmony of the natural world.

My training
In 2011, I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania with my bachelor’s degree in communication science and linguistics, and in 2013, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with my master’s degree in speech-language pathology. I then completed my clinical fellowship at a private practice clinic which primarily serviced local school districts.
​
In 2015, I became “The Traveling SLP” and published about my experiences, mentored fellow SLPs on transitioning into the travel speech therapy field, and practiced in a diverse range of medical and school settings across the U.S. These included acute care hospitals, subacute rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities, and PreK-12 schools.
​​
In 2020, I organically formed my business practice as The Holistic SLP, LLC, and soon experienced how my intuitive abilities became more center-stage during sessions and family/parent counseling. Among these highlights, I found myself intuitively seeing a child’s solar plexus chakra and I mirrored a feeling of drowning before finding out about a traumatic experience that impacted the child’s gut health and communication development. I found myself seeing the presence of individuals’ loved ones in spirit, as well as guides. Intuitive adults found this comforting and intuitive children found this validating. I would continue to meet individuals of all ages who would connect better in communication as I provided heart-centered speech and language therapy while also rebalancing their energetic bodies and healing fragmented parts on a soul level.
​
Around the same time these experiences unfolded, my intuition guided me to learn reiki, a specific form of energy/chi healing work, while holding space for a loved one in distress — and ultimately to incorporate into supporting individuals and families more fully beyond the traditional, clinical model. I studied reiki intensively, including formally with William Lee Rand at the International Center for Reiki Training, and I became a certified reiki master/teacher in the methods of Usui/Tibetan reiki, Holy Fire®, and Karuna Reiki®. I later trained through London’s College of Psychic Studies to deepen my clairvoyant mediumship abilities, which have allowed me to be a unique bridge for channeling and integrating the quantum or metaphysical with the human side.
As a leader in defining and guiding the holistic (soulistic) speech therapy movement, I combine a sharp clinical skillset and unmatched focus with my strong intuitive abilities, inherited from my great-grandmothers and ancestors of the Eastern world. I am here to support and nourish families and individuals across the lifespan while harmonizing the clinical with the intuitive and serving as a beacon of light and inspiration to like-minded SLPs and professionals across the world.
​
It is my great honor to support all of you who are guided here. I look forward to connecting with you.
