DEVELOP YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE I train holistically with you
My goal is for everyone to actively work on alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Build an exercise routine. Only through regular and consistent practice can you challenge Parkinson's. You have the power in your hands.
My most important experiences from over 20 years as a speech therapist are: Everything in our body is interconnected. Everything is in interaction. That's why the courses are holistic. There is no isolated training for one area. Effectiveness in my courses comes from the interconnection of these areas. For example: breathing exercises are vocal exercises too, articulation exercises are breathing vocal exercises as well.
Voice - Speech - Facial Expression - Breathing: These are the key pillars for your strong voice, lively facial expressions, and clear pronunciation. That's why these are the essential elements of this course. You can do an effective training in just 15 minutes at every day of the week.
My husband has Parkinson's. I am a singing teacher, but he wouldn't work with me on diaphragm support and breathing, his voice was getting softer and softer, and he was starting to struggle with swallowing. I was really frightened as I knew that what he needed was a daily routine of vocal training. Esther's course was God send in my opinion. He goes upstairs and does the exercises for 15 mins daily. I began to hear a difference in only 2 days! My husband said I was exaggerating, but I thought there was an audible vocal difference. We are just on our way home from the hospital where he has had his second session with the NHS therapist. She was shocked at the improvement and said that last session he was speaking at 55-60 on the decibel meter and this time he didn't drop below 65. Do this course of you have problems with Parkinson's, daily! The discipline of working with Esther will bring great results.
