WHAT IS VOCAL MASSAGE?
What exactly is vocal massage and how can it help you?
WHAT DOES VOCAL MASSAGE INVOLVE?
Vocal massage involves gentle palpation and manipulation of structures that affect vocal function, mainly the neck, larynx, jaw and tongue.
WHY DOES VOCAL MASSAGE WORK?
Our voices are produced by an intricate and delicate mechanism that is affected by an infinite number of conditions.
The structures that we work on in vocal massage are directly responsibility for vocal function and flexibility.
By reducing tension in the neck, jaw, tongue and larynx we can achieve greater freedom in phonation.

Vocal massage can relieve symptoms associated with:
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ-D)
Muscular tension dysphonia (MTD)
Globus pharyngeus
Dysphagia & other swallowing conditions
Reflux (LPR & GERD)
High laryngeal posture
Vocal fatigue
MY PHILOSOPHY
I work with each client to find the optimum level for their body that allows the muscles to release without hurting them.
This approach relaxes the nervous system, allowing the muscles to find further release.
I believe in giving the muscles the permission to release and showing them the route to do so, facilitating long term results.
