In this episode, we—Jordan and Heidi—share how our careers as travel SLPs laid the foundation for building Peak to Peak Therapies, an early intervention and telehealth practice serving families across state lines. What started as life on the road evolved into a business rooted in flexibility, innovation, and meaningful connection.
We talk about what it really takes to build a practice while constantly moving, how telehealth allowed us to reach more families beyond the traditional clinic model, and the core values that guide everything we do: passion, empowerment, acceptance, and kindness.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How our travel therapy experiences sparked the idea for Peak to Peak Therapies and shaped our business model
The ins and outs of travel SLP life and what it took to transition into practice ownership
Our telehealth journey and how we expanded services across state lines
The day-to-day realities of running a flexible, remote-first private practice—from staffing and caseloads to admin and quality care
Practical tips for SLPs curious about travel contracts, teletherapy, or launching their own practice
Our story is a reminder that you don’t need a traditional 9–5—or even a permanent location—to make a meaningful impact. Sometimes, mobility and innovation are your greatest assets.
