I’ve had the privilege of assisting not only adults but also children and families facing vocal challenges. Whether supporting young singers or helping children with voice difficulties, I’m committed to creating positive, lasting outcomes.
I stay at the forefront of voice therapy practices by regularly attending specialized workshops and training. From helping children manage vocal strain to enhancing vocal performance for professional speakers, I’m here to guide both you and your family on your journey to vocal wellness.
If you’ve heard someone, or yourself say any of the following, I’d love to help you with that!
‘My / his / her voice cuts out.’
‘I/he/she sounds hoarse / husky / croaky.’
‘I/he/she keeps loosing my/his/her voice.’
