Voice Therapy

# What is your voice trying to tell you?

Strain, fatigue, hoarseness, or a voice that no longer feels like your own aren’t things you simply have to push through.

Voice therapy helps you understand what’s contributing to the problem and what your voice needs. Through personalized, evidence-based care, you can reduce strain, improve vocal function, and build a voice that feels clearer, steadier, and easier to use.

Recognize This?

## Your voice may be telling you something

Your voice tires by the end of the day, even on days you didn't talk that much

You clear your throat often, or feel a persistent tightness when speaking

Your pitch or volume feels harder to control than it used to

People ask you to repeat yourself, or say you sound different lately

Speaking in meetings, calls, or in front of others leaves you drained

You've started avoiding situations that require a lot of talking

## Voice therapy may be for you if…

You’re experiencing ongoing hoarseness, vocal fatigue, strain, discomfort, or difficulty getting through the day with your voice.

You may also have been referred by an ENT or diagnosed with a voice condition such as vocal nodules, polyps or cysts, muscle tension dysphonia, chronic cough or irritable larynx, vocal tremor, or another voice disorder.

Voice therapy can also support people with Parkinson's disease who notice a quieter voice, reduced speech clarity, or difficulty being heard and understood in everyday conversations.

Whether you have a diagnosis or simply know that speaking has become harder than it should be, we can start by understanding what’s happening and what your voice needs.

In-person sessions in Toronto and Owen Sound, Ontario, with online voice therapy available across Ontario.

## Voice therapy for children & teens

As a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience, I provide individualized voice therapy for children and adults experiencing vocal strain, fatigue, chronic cough, and neurological voice changes, including those associated with Parkinson's disease. Together, we'll explore what's affecting the voice and develop practical strategies to help you/or your child to communicate with greater clarity, ease, and confidence.

## We don't ask your voice to perform. We ask what it needs.

Voice therapy starts with understanding your voice—how you use it, what may be contributing to strain or change, and what your everyday life asks of it. Following a voice assessment, we create a personalized plan to help reduce unnecessary effort, improve vocal function, and make speaking feel clearer and more comfortable.

The Process

## What working together looks like

1. Start with your story

We talk about what you’ve been noticing, how your voice feels and functions day to day, and what you’d like to change.

2. An assessment

Your voice assessment looks at how your voice is functioning, the patterns that may be contributing to strain or difficulty, and the demands you place on your voice.

3. A plan built around you

Together, we create a personalized plan based on your voice, your goals, and your everyday needs. This may include vocal exercises, strategies to reduce tension and effort, and practical changes that support vocal health.
