Voice
“I can't hold it anymore. My voice locks up, I can't do what I want with it.” That's often where it starts. Hoarseness, fatigue, a voice that gives out just when you need it most – and maybe a doctor who told you to consult.

What I treat
Hoarseness, vocal fatigue, loss of voice, rehabilitation after an injury or surgery to the vocal folds.
And the voice of those whose voice is their working tool: prayer leaders, cantors, teachers, lecturers, singers. When your voice is your profession, losing it isn't a discomfort, it's distress.
How I work on the voice
I'm a speech-language pathologist and a choir and orchestra conductor. The ear I trained on music is the one that listens to you in the clinic – breath, timbre, rhythm. It hears what is hard to put into words, and it guides the work.
I use music in sessions, not as a break but as an instrument. And I do manual work on tension in the larynx, jaw, tongue and diaphragm, as part of voice rehabilitation – a technique used in voice therapy, aimed at releasing tension and making new habits easier to take hold.
Between sessions you send me recordings of your exercises. I listen, I correct. It's included in the price.
Before the first session
For voice work you'll also need a prescription from an ENT, who will have examined your vocal folds first. Bring all your medical reports as well.
The first session lasts one hour: your history, an assessment, a plan. Assessment with written report: 450 ₪. Follow-up session: 350 ₪. VAT included.

Testimonials
What people say
This Yom Kippur was the best vocal Yom Kippur I've had since I started. I gave everything at the end of Ne'ilah, and I still had plenty of energy, voice, chest and high notes. I truly enjoyed leading all the prayers, with real stamina. I applied your marathoner's advice.
