Voice Care Centre

Voice Care Centre Helping manage performers and improve complex voice disorders and medically unexplained symptoms MINDSET COACHING helps you slow down, focus and reassess.

The VOICE CARE CENTRE is not only the home of Vocal Massage in the West End, but is also London’s first multidisciplinary centre for REHABILITATING or MAINTAINING your voice. If you have never booked with us before then you may wish to book your INITIAL ASSESSMENT. In the initial assessment, you will be triaged among our brilliant team of holistic and medical voice practitioners who will tailor a plan to get you to where you want to be. Each client can have up to EIGHT practitioners (including our voice specialist ENT surgeon) sharing information and forward planning back and forth. We are confident that nowhere else in the UK provides this kind of personalised, friendly and accountable service. The VOCAL MASSAGE treatments that we perform have become synonymous with the words “Pain Free”. Each Vocal Massage is as important to us as it is to you, with your safety and comfort the most important factor of the treatment. The Vocal Massage treatments we deliver in Central London are unique yet powerful, and all delivered by voice specialists who truly understand what it is to be a professional voice user. The (voice specialist) SPEECH THERAPY team are extremely effective at restoring function to your voice post surgery and can help alleviate the symptoms of complex voice diagnoses. This service is also used as part of our internal referral framework, helping restore function to the whole voice, not just the singing voice. This service is available as part of our AT HOME treatment plan. Your successful healing is inter-dependant on how clear your thoughts are, and whether you are attaching negativity to your work/ process. Usually one session can give you the tools by which to secure a healthier mindset towards your body and voice. VOCAL COACHING is a huge part of our multidisciplinary approach at the VOICE CARE CENTRE, and truly is an important missing link between therapy and normal function. Although our studio is separate to the clinic centre, notes will still be shared backwards and forwards from each practitioner, with your privacy and data fully protected by encrypted email servers and ‘2 factor authentication’. The Vocal Coaching appointments are made here:

VOCAL REHABILITATION is the final step between your surgery, speech therapy and your singing teacher. Each Vocal Rehabilitation booking is a block of 3 sessions which enable you to regain control and use your voice with minimal effort again. NUTRITION is a powerful missing link in the world of health and wellbeing which is often overlooked. This service can help tailor a nutritional or dietary programme to you, from a Voice Specialist Nutritionist who understands the demands of a singer. OSTEOPATHY has a long and important history with intervening with stubborn tensions, aches and pains and generally keeping your body running at an optimum. Our vocal osteopathy sees therapeutic intervention take place with the vocal, digestive and respiratory systems. OUR TEAM all possess specialist knowledge and qualifications within their treatment discipline, and are great listeners too. We know that the interaction of a treatment is just as important as the treatment itself, so we developed a process that helps boost the interaction you have with the therapist. At the VOICE CARE CENTRE, our personal touches to the treatment mean that people trust us, and come back time and again to help keep their instrument in good working order, and having been trusted by some of the West End’s biggest names, we are confident that we can help you get your voice to where you need your voice to be.

Does “bad/good posture” REALLY exist?

Sure, we have more FUNCTIONAL ways of acquiring and maintaining skills, but that doesn’t mean rigid patterns of use.

Flexibility in any system is a key component of health… rigidity, less so.

Back when I was vocal coaching, I went through a stage where I thought POSTURE was the key. Now, I think I was probably just neurotic about controlling people and their bodies to fit a certain look for the West End. To those former students… I’m sorry!

Have a great Friday today, and remember: motion is lotion.

Blooper 😂

The Guarded Larynx…It’s a hot topic that Jenevora and I dive into in our latest seminar after the successful distribution of our paper, “The Guarded Larynx” (published in the Journal of Voice)! 💭

Join us for a two week short course as we explore its significance in the clinic and studio by commenting: GUARDING

The trachea (or the wind pipe) doesn’t have complete rings all the way round.

The back bit is more like a horseshoe shape or C shape. This muscular membrane allows for a brief and elastic expansion of the tube to stabilise in/out breaths.

How does thinking like this change or perception of anatomy?

We have 1 more space for the in North Devon this year, and this is the sort of thing we might all wonder about together.

Is coffee bad?
Is dairy bad?
Is steaming… relaxing, SOVT’s, exercise, pollution, smoking, netflix etc bad?

Well, probably, maybe yes. But what’s going on underneath that? What’s the real wound here?

People come to the Voice Care Centre because the evidence based approaches have so far seen little to no results, and look we don’t help everyone we treat either… but what’s REALLY going on is our central question… and we’re often the first people to ask that.

Help! I’ve got a Voice Problem is currently in 4 languages with another two on the way!

I honestly can’t believe that and I have had such an outpouring of love for our work, the art, the simplicity in this book 🧡

The translators of this book, Petra, Gemma and Paulina are all
amazing, and of course the artwork by is genius!

Happy Friday all!

Hello and happy January! As ever, thanks to those of you who stick around to learn from this page.

I’m always interested in the rush of people who want to sort their voices out, or have worked too hard vocally over the panto/ gig season, and want/need to rehabilitate themselves for the coming year.

In my latest paper “The Guarded Larynx” co-authored with Dr Jenevora Williams , we touch on the Fear/Avoidance model. I use this with clients and in teaching all the time. It seems at first glance a little tricky but once you spend some time with it, you will hopefully begin to understand something about where you are in the journey.

In our training we look at this model with philosophical curiosity. What stops us from getting the courage together to face our fear?

Wherever you are in your journey, if you need help or guidance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Warmest,
Stephen
