Our voice therapy programs prioritize restoring vocal health and boosting performance through specialized breathing techniques, vocal exercises, diagnostics, and personalized treatments. If you're a singer, actor, teacher, or speaker, we are committed to helping you use your voice effectively and comfortably.
Your voice is one of your most valuable tools, especially if you're a singer, teacher, actor, or speaker. Daily vocal use, poor technique, acid reflux, or overexertion can cause hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or even long-term injury. That’s where we come in.

Our team uses advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans to help you recover from vocal strain, prevent future issues, and optimize your performance.

Step 1: Evaluation & Diagnosis
We begin with a detailed assessment of your voice using advanced tools:
Flexible Laryngoscopy - A slim scope inserted through the nose provides a real-time view of your vocal cords in motion.
Videostroboscopy - This tool captures slow-motion video of your vocal cords vibrating, revealing subtle irregularities in movement or structure.
Reflux Assessment - Because acid reflux can inflame the vocal cords, we evaluate for LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux) and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and recommend dietary or medical interventions as needed.
Step 2: Customized Therapy Plan
Your voice therapy program may include:
Breath Support & Vocal Exercises - Strengthen your voice, reduce strain, and increase control.
Speech Therapy & Resonance Work - Improve vocal placement, reduce effort, and enhance projection.
Postural Alignment & Tension Release - Reduce muscular tension that interferes with voice production.
