Briefly in English.

I am a speech therapist, singing teacher and vocal coach.

As a speech therapist I'm specialized in voice therapy which aims to prevent, assess and rehabilitate voice problems such as changes in voice quality (e.g. hoarseness) or straining of voice after speaking or singing. Voice therapy consists of vocal hygiene, vocal exercises and developing deeper understanding of one's voice and it's strenghts and fragilities. In addition I offer speech therapy for irritable larynx symptoms such as chronic cough.

As a singing teacher my main interest is in using the voice in such a way that is healthy and as expressive as the person behind it.

I'm experienced in training of professional voice users who need their voice to be both resilient under the voice loading and expressive to match their vocal needs. The other main group I work with are the people with sensitivities, shame or other anxieties around their speaking or singing voice.

My approach is holistic and well grounded. I place quite a lot of emphasis on the fact that voice is deeply rooted in body without forgetting the importance of mind.
