FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
My journey has been like an amazing turtle race backed up with a lot of patience and focuses on moving towards the progress of every child to his/her best self.
In my journey, I have realized to never give up and build hope in parents and children in need, As is “The turtle only makes progress when he sticks his neck out”

“Speech” is the best emotion to express; seeing one express their emotion with therapy is most satisfying as a speech-language pathologist.
I wish to give my best along with the team turtle express for change in every life we bring.

“Every child has a unique voice waiting to be discovered, and as a speech therapist, my journey is to help them find and nurture it. At Turtle Express, I strive to turn challenges into stepping stones, empowering children to express themselves and thrive in their own remarkable ways. With each milestone achieved, I am reminded that even the smallest progress can create a ripple of transformation in their lives and their families’ hearts.”

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor E. Frankl
This idea shapes my work as a psychologist. At Turtle Express, I aim to create a safe, nurturing environment where emotions and thoughts are honored, healing is encouraged, and every individual feels empowered to navigate their journey with confidence and compassion.

As a parent of a child with speech delay, I can recommend Turtle Express highly enough. Jisha, our therapist, worked with my child over a period of 2 months and the difference in my child's communication is incredible. She tailored each session to my child's unique needs, creating a supportive and engaging environment. She also empowered us as parents with tools and guidance for continued growth at home. Everyone at the centre are also very friendly and professional. Pashyanti, the owner of Turtle express is very knowledgable and explains things in easily understandable manner.
If your child needs speech therapy, this is the place to go!"

Thanks to Pashyanti Ma'am, my daughter has gone through a tremendous improvement in terms of her speech. I am very happy with the teaching and support provided by Pashyanti Ma'am and her team.
Pashyanti Ma'am understood my daughter's thought process and behaviour so well that her recommendations worked like a charm on my daughter. Also, I find it great that parents can sit through the sessions because even I, as a parent, have had to learn a lot on how to communicate with my daughter. So glad I found this centre, can't imagine being without it when it comes to speech and cognition therapy.

My son has autism and we took therapy in turtle express.. After starting therapy we found improvement in our kid.. Therapists are very friendly. They give detailed feedback after each session.. We can also see the activities done during session through a window.. Their approach is different and it helped my kid a lot.. Anytime they are very approachable.. Thank you so much to Pashyanthi, Lavanya, Charulatha and Alka.. God bless you more. Thanks for helping our kid.

This is the best speech therapy centre. With Pashyanti, Charulata and Alka's guidance my daughter's speech has improved a lot. She is understanding emotions and sequence of events. They have made her life better.

I came across this when my dad needed help with his slurred speech after a minor stroke. I am really grateful to pashyanti ma'am. She conducted the sessions with great passion and a lot of patience. She took us through each session and explained how it helps in improving the condition. Observed great results

CDS training helped me to understand my child better. This training helped me to know where my child is struggling and how should I handle this.Parenting way and various activities were discussed in order to know my child's liking and disliking so that I can know him more.overall this CDS training guided me and showed me a path which will surely help me for my child development. Thank you Turtle express

This review is for Pashyanti, she is so so knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. In special needs world I have taken consultation from big names here in Pune, but I haven't found anyone as good as Pashyanti. She is absolute professional with mother touch, her attitude is so calm, explains properly with demos, that kind of strikes forever and stays with you. I wish I had found a gem like her earlier as my son with Apraxia has shown tremendous improvement under her guidance. I know for sure with her we will succeed for sure. She is THE Go To person for Apraxia cases.She knows her craft very well. I wish her all the very best and keep doing excellent work she has been doing!
