STAGE + STUDIO VOICE CARE
The mic drop before the mic drop.
Designed to release tension in the jaw, face, tongue, throat, and upper chest - the key structures that shape your voice. We combine advanced fascial, muscular, and lymphatic drainage techniques with gentle intraoral care that includes the tongue and face muscles. Targeted mobilizations of the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voicebox) can also be added, along with diaphragmatic release and breath awareness.
This session helps release the muscles of speech and song, restore ease of breath, and improve resonance. Ideal for singers, actors, teachers, public speakers, exercise instructors, broadcasters, or anyone who wants to keep their voice healthy, supple, and performing at its best.
Each session is tailored to your needs, whether that’s preparing for a show, supporting long speaking days, or maintaining your voice between performances.

TESTIMONIAL
“Sophie was excellent, highly skilled at her craft, and a very good listener. I’ve been singing for 10 years and have had issues with jaw and tongue tension.
Sophie answered any questions I had and put me at ease. She worked methodically and professionally and constantly checked into see how everything was for me. I felt very safe and could let go. The lymphatic drainage was amazing and I left the session feeling blissed out and definitely wanting another session!
The next day when I was singing at the piano I had to check I was singing the same high notes as before because they felt so much easier.
Highly recommend Sophie as someone who will listen and is good at her craft.”

We focus on the muscles, fascia, and structures that support healthy voice production. Techniques can include fascial release, relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage, and intraoral/buccal massage to better target your facial muscles. If it's helpful, we will also work on tongue tension and posture (which means I'll handle your tongue with gloves and gauze), and work into the floor and palate of your mouth, as well as the muscles that move your jaw. We may work on your throat region, with slow, gentle manipulations of your windpipe and voice box area (externally).
The goal is to connect with your issue and is based in shared decision making - meaning you're in control of where we go and how long we stay there, so we can make sure we're being productive and non-invasive.
-
No, it shouldn't. You may get brief aggravation of your symptoms while we work together to identify and connect with your issue, but the goal is to relieve pain and improve function, within the treatment and after.
If you've never had someone work inside your mouth or on your throat before, it will likely feel a bit strange at first as your nervous system gets used to it. You’ll always be able to stop or change the treatment at any time.
