VOICE THERAPY
Voice problems cause unwanted stress and anxiety, especially if you rely on your voice as the main tool of your trade.
Is your voice hoarse, scratchy, sore, tight, rough, gravelly, weak, breathy, fatigued or feeling constricted? Are your clearing your throat more often than normal?
These are common voice complaints that can be effectively treated by a speech pathologist who has a special interest and training in voice therapy.
VOCAL TRAINING & COACHING
Anyone who uses their voice as a ‘tool of their trade’ could benefit from vocal training or vocal coaching.
If you are a singer, podcaster, actor, teacher, salesperson, lawyer, personal trainer, hairdresser, radio announcer or auctioneer – vocal training is like an insurance policy for your career.
Vocal training is tailor-made to suit your individual needs and your profession.
ACCENT REDUCTION
Accent Reduction is a systematic approach that helps you to reduce or change your accent, or to adopt a new accent for whatever personal or professional motivation you may have.
Accent Reduction Therapy can sometimes be referred to as elocution, accent modification or accent neutralisation.
It involves teaching the sounds and patterns of a new or desired language.
SPEECH THERAPY
I have spent over 30 years helping people of all ages improve their ability to effectively communicate, be it through rectification of speech disorders, or simply improving the skills, competence and confidence with which they communicate.
My specific area of interest is in helping adults who may have language, speech or other challenges with general social skills.
When developing a program for your business/company, I do not make any assumptions. I will speak with you frankly about your particular needs and goals and will tailor make a workshop to suit the needs of your employees and your business.
I will deliver a program that is engaging and relevant by delivering information on communication, vocal techniques, or accent reduction in a fun and innovative way – keeping it simple and fun.
I take my work seriously and will bring passion and commitment to my workshops that will create nothing but positive outcomes for your Business and Workplace Health and Safety needs.
Voice problems are a very real and relevant Workplace Health and Safety Issue. Vocal injuries costs many business thousands of dollars every year. My workshops help reduce this risk and provide your workers with tools and skills to ensure a reduced risk of vocal injury.
I will arm your employees with skills that will ensure a strong and healthy workforce. I have worked in high-level management and have a diploma of Business Management as well as a degree in Speech Pathology so I really do understand the needs of employers.
