I have been struggling with Spasmodic Dysphonia and Muscle Tension Dysphonia for the past 4 ½ years.  It has been difficult to work, talk to my family and friends and communicate with anyone I came in contact with. I worked with both Speech therapists and speech Pathologists that could not help me and then tried Botox for 18 months and experienced not at all good results which caused me to have no voice for at least 4 weeks after that.

In December 2017, I started working with Diana and have now worked with her for 40 hours to date. Diana has been a wonderful help and she is extremely intelligent, perceptive and caring. It is amazing how she can understand what is happening with my voice and teach me how to change it so that it is clearer and louder, as well as helping me to breathe properly while speaking.

The Vocal Science method and herbal treatments have already helped to improve my voice significantly. Diana is a true blessing and has provided hope for a future with a voice! I am excited that she will continue to coach me and highly recommend Diana for any voice issues.
