One on One
Teacher Mentoring, Voice Consultation and Training (virtual/live*)
There are a variety of reasons singers seek private consultation. Typically, singers are seen for technical troubleshooting issues that they have been unable to work through on their own or with their teacher. Sometimes, singers are crossing over into another genre and seek consultation to assist with the transition safely. The initial consultation typically lasts about 75 minutes. This consists of an extensive interview and vocal history, including a discussion of vocal concern and onset and progression of your problem, and an extensive exploration of your voice, including current strengths and limitations. A program is designed specifically to your needs. Subsequent sessions are typically 60-minutes, and singers are seen for 3-10 sessions in total, returning subsequently for check-ins on an as-needed basis.
Teacher or SLP mentoring is available for voice teachers or speech pathologists looking to optimize their voice teaching or clinical practice using science-informed, evidence-based approaches, including how to use exercise physiology and motor learning principles to take your teaching to the next level. Mentoring is highly personalized to your needs. Contact me seperately for pricing.

emergencies happen. This is a one-on-one session tailored to you needs and can be scheduled within 72 hours (fee will apply).

Vocal Health Consultation/Screening (virtual) Also see separate description and pricing. This is a one-on-one private consultation and can be tailored to your specific concerns. Whether it is a sudden decline in capabilities or a more gradual decline, a vocal health screening consultation can help you determine next steps. My primary concern is your vocal health. Although I am a licensed speech pathologist in the state of Michigan, this consultation is not intended to diagnose or replace a medical evaluation by a voice care team including a laryngologist. I will help you identify a medical voice care team nearest you. I can also arrange to be available FaceTime during your medical evaluation. I will provide you with initial steps and strategies to help support you as you await a medical evaluation. Follow up after will depend on your state of residency and needs. Although I do not to formal rehabilitation out of the state of Michigan, we can tailor a collaborative follow up program in conjunction with your local speech pathologist and/or voice teacher to support your path to recovery.
