Develop a firm and healthy voice
Voice Therapy for Speaking Professions

I had experienced a temporary loss of voice due to a laryngitis, which had long after-effects. No longer could I rely on my voice when I had to deliver a speech, facilitate a group or communicate in a formal setting; this left me with a feeling of insecurity. In about 10 sessions, Susanne Koch managed to restore not only my confidence in my voice, but also made me realize that my voice had much more potential than I had thought. What started out as a medical treatment for professional reasons led to the unexpected effect of me mustering up the courage to join a singing group for the first time in my life, which has brought me much joy ever since. Five years on, I am in complete possession of my voice. I still like to remember my sessions with Susanne Koch; she gave me much more than my voice.

Before I met Susanne my voice felt strained and even hoarse not only after my speeches but also in a `normal´ conversation. Working with Susanne made my voice powerful and showed me how to recover my voice. And it was also great fun! Thanks a lot!

I got in touch with Susanne Koch as I have to regularly speak publicly as part of my profession. Before starting the therapy my voice tended to get hoarse after speaking for some time, I started to press and cough and often lost my voice entirely. After some regular work with Susanne, I learned to relax my voice cords and my body, which helped me to preserve a full and loud voice even after several hours of continually lecturing or chairing meetings. I also learned to speak with a fuller and more assertive voice which has helped me greatly in chairing meetings and dealing with large audiences. I was also taught various techniques of how to care for my voice and to relax it more generally. Knowing how to use these techniques puts me greatly at ease when I have to speak publicly and for prolonged periods. On top of these extremely helpful outcomes, it was such great fun to experiment with my voice and to get to know it better. Singing and producing sounds is so relaxing for the entire body and the soul. I just loved it!

For professional reasons I often have to talk for extended periods of time and frequently in public. In the past this led to hoarseness and occasionally I even lost my voice altogether. When I looked for a voice therapist, Susanne Koch was recommended to me and due to her therapy my symptoms quickly receded and I experienced a long-lasting improvement. I have learned to use my voice effectively and without strain. The therapy sessions were conducted in a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Susanne Koch's high level of expertise, empathy and friendliness make for an optimal patient experience.
