Voice
You get hoarse often. Your voice tires before the day is over, or it gives out just when you need it most. A doctor may have told you to see a speech therapist.
I reply to WhatsApp messages the same day, except during holiday periods.
What I treat
Hoarseness, vocal fatigue, loss of voice, rehabilitation after injury or surgery.
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 – an established technique in voice therapy that releases tension and speeds up the new habits taking 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 treatment, a prescription from an ENT is required. Bring all your medical reports as well.
The first session lasts one hour: anamnesis, assessment, plan. Assessment with written report: 450 ₪. Follow-up session: 350 ₪. VAT included.
