What is Gender-Affirming Voice Care?
Gender-Affirming Voice Care helps you build a voice that brings you joy!
I offer voice care for trans and gender-diverse individuals and anyone else who wants a healthy, flexible voice that fits who they are.
Our work together begins with an evaluation of your voice, your goals, your strengths, and what matters most to you. From there, we’ll build a healthy, flexible voice using strategies that fit your life. This may involve adjusting habits, tweaking your environment, and warming up your voice. Then we’ll experiment with different elements of voice and communication that help you to sound more like you. Spoiler alert: it's not all about pitch!
I support you in building a voice that brings you joy!
Why choose me for gender-affirming voice care?
I am committed to excellence because I care about the community
My work in gender-affirming voice care is grounded in deep love and respect for the trans and gender-diverse community. Nearly a decade ago, I was first approached to offer this service. Although I had extensive experience in speech and language, my experience providing voice care was limited. I was eager to help, but I wanted people to receive the best possible care, so I referred them to other Speech-Language Pathologists who had more experience with voice therapy.
About five years ago, I made a firm commitment to develop the knowledge and skills to offer gender-affirming voice care myself. I began taking singing lessons to better understand my own voice, completed specialized training in gender-affirming voice therapy, and joined an ongoing mentorship program for voice professionals. I continue to learn through courses and mentorship, and through listening to trans and nonbinary people and reading the work they share.
Your voice and your life experience are deeply personal. I welcome your whole self: your gender identity, your culture and language, your neurodivergence, your joys, your fears, and your goals. I also recognize that sharing personal information is an act of trust. I will never push you to share more than you’re comfortable with. You are welcome here exactly as you are.
I offer voice care across Manitoba and Ontario. If you’re having trouble finding gender-affirming voice services in another province or territory, feel free to reach out. I’ll do my best to help.
I’d love to help you let your real voice be heard. Together, we’ll explore what feels authentic, empowering, and joyful to you.
