Our Story
For years we planned to one day open a business together, after graduating and working in the field to gain experience. This dream was put on hold, however, when our mom suddenly passed away in 2023. In the aftermath, we had to step away to focus on healing and coping. For a few years, our dream was paused—not forgotten, just waiting. Now, with time, perspective, and renewed strength, we are ready to begin with even more purpose.
Meet the Speech Sisters!
Corbin Tilson
M.S., CCC-SLP
​​​I grew up in Richmond, Virginia, as the oldest of three daughters. All three of us are speech therapists, hence the name "Sister Speech." I attended James Madison University for undergrad (Go Dukes!) and Gallaudet University for my masters program. I lived in Alaska for 6 years after school, and then moved back to Virginia to be close to my family. I have a son, Jack, who is the delight of my life!
I believe strongly in the "gut feeling" that families experience when they are worried about their child, but they aren't being heard by family, community, and providers. I know that looking at the whole child, and LISTENING to families, contributes to the best outcomes. Parent coaching and education is a big part of my practice and is extremely important to me. I LOVE working closely with parents and caregivers and have gained more perspective and understanding since having my own child.

Crossley Lowther
M.S., CCC-SLP
I grew up in Richmond, VA and am the middle of three sisters. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with my bachelors degree and then from Longwood University with my masters degree. I love to garden, read, and listen to live music. I spend most of my time with my husband Chip, puppy Penny, and not surprisingly, Corbin and Jack.
I believe in focusing on the "whole" of the tiny human, and not only their speech or language disorder/delay. While working with these children, I have learned that most kiddos want the same thing; compassion and kindness. To most children, the world is fresh, unfiltered, and full of magic. Their wonder is pure because it’s not yet clouded by cynicism or experience. My aim is to help these children with their speech or language difficulties, while keeping the world's magic alive, in their eyes.
