My Training

 

I trained in Vocal Massage Therapy with Stephen King at The Voice Care Centre in Devon, a leading UK centre for vocal health and rehabilitation.

​

Combining this with my Estill Mentor and Course Instructor training enables me to combine specialist hands-on treatment with a detailed understanding of how the voice works, helping me tailor sessions to teach individual client.
