There is HOPE !

15 and 7 and 1 15 years of seasonal chronic coughing that caused me to lose my voice for months on end and eventually leave my career. 7 is the number of doctors of various Disciplines that tried to help me to no avail . 1 SLP with a passion for dealing with issues like mine. I felt hopeless when I went to see Blake. Our first meeting, I told her that I did not believe she could help me and I was there to “check the latest block in things to try “. She simply smiled and asked me to give it a try. A mere 3 months later and my cough was gone. Blake taught me techniques, helped me find the correct tools to use at home and reminded me that she was with me every step of the way. I cannot be more grateful. Blake is my miracle worker.

Blake was terrific! Her therapy helped me out so much and I'm eternally thankful for her services. I had no idea how intricate the vocal chords were and how common issues can not only be helped but healed with therapy.

Working with Blake has been amazing! I was a bit skeptical, at first, as to whether or not therapy would work for me as an adult. However, she taught me many techniques that I can continue to use even though my therapy has concluded. I would highly recommend Blake and her team.

Blake is absolutely amazing! I was having issues with my voice due to some trauma and surgeries I had experienced earlier in the year. My voice is incredibly important to me and to who I am as a person. The issues I was having affected both my personal and professional life. I am so grateful for the resources, knowledge and support Blake provided me. It has allowed me to regain my voice and continue to speak loud and proud for the things that matter to me in life. Also, I am so grateful to be able to again have the simple pleasure of singing along to the radio and having conversations with those I love without the interruptions of coughing, or losing my voice entirely. Working with Blake has impacted my life in such a positive way. I am truly thankful! I recommend her to anyone experiencing chronic coughing, throat clearing or loss of voice. Her knowledge, and sincere concern for supporting others in improving or regaining their quality of life is top of the line. I was blessed to be referred to and work with her!

During the past forty years, with over 100 throat clearings per day, myriad doctors told me there was nothing in my throat, it was a habit, so just stop doing it. Thankfully, at 67 years old, I was referred to Blake’s speech therapy clinic. My life changed at that moment. Blake taught me about throat anatomy, exercises to strengthen my neck, self-awareness, diet considerations and many techniques to stop clearing my throat. She literally changed my life and my throat clearing is now under control. Thank you, Blake, for doing what no one else could!

My voice issues affected me much more than realized. I was self-conscious and not speaking as much. It was easier not to talk then to have family and coworkers say huh and what all the time. When I did talk at work, my voice made me seem unsure of myself. I could speak but had lost MY voice. Blake helped me find it again. She found ways to get me to "feel" my voice and remember how to use it. The complexity of speaking amazes me, as does Blake's expertise in her field. I wish I would have known about voice therapy before I had surgical interventions. I will always be grateful for having her as my vocal coach!
