Restorative Vocal Care
Restore, retrain and reclaim your voice.
As a professional or semi-professional artist or speaker, vocal issues can be extremely worrying. Fear of losing work , or even a possible career change can cause stress and anxiety, further exasperating the problems.
Restorative vocal Care is a specialised form of vocal training designed to help singers recover from non-permanent vocal damage. Whether you’ve recently completed voice therapy or you're experiencing vocal fatigue, tension, or loss of vocal range that isn’t severe enough for medical intervention, restorative vocal care bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance.
This approach is rooted in healthy vocal technique, gently retraining the voice to function freely, efficiently, and powerfully—without strain or risk of further injury.
Who Is It For?
Restorative Vocal Care is ideal for:
-
Contemporary singer-songwriters who have overused or misused their voice
-
Singers recovering from vocal fatigue, hoarseness, or strain
-
Artists returning to regular singing, speaking or voicework after completing voice therapy
-
Performers experiencing chronic tightness, reduced range, or breathiness
-
Anyone who suspects they’ve developed bad vocal habits and wants to course-correct
Whether you perform or speak live regularly, record in the studio, or just sing often as part of your song writing process, your voice is your instrument—and it deserves the same care as any finely-tuned piece of equipment.
How Does Restorative Vocal Care Work?
This isn’t about pushing through the pain or just “singing better.” Restorative Vocal Care is highly personalised and focused on:
-
Identifying the root cause of vocal issues
-
Unlearning harmful habits that led to the strain
-
Rebuilding technique using kinaesthetic, visual, and audial cues
-
Creating a voice-friendly routine that supports your career long-term
-
Educating you on vocal anatomy, function, and self-care
-
Sessions are gentle, focused, and adapted to your vocal condition and creative goals. The aim is to restore your vocal confidence, help you sing and speak freely again, and ensure your voice stays healthy and sustainable.
Why Singer-Songwriters, Speakers and Voice Workers Need This
As a contemporary singer or speaker, your voice is more than just your sound—it's your story, your expression, your livelihood. But your work often leads to long hours of working alone, repeating lines, recording demos, or pushing for emotional delivery without proper technique.
That can add up to:
-
Vocal fatigue or loss of range
-
Strained high notes, whole sections or cracks
-
Reduced vocal stamina in sessions or gigs
-
Increased tension in the jaw, throat, or tongue
Restorative Vocal Care offers a safe, professional space to recover and relearn vocal technique in a way that honours your artistry, while helping you future-proof your voice for gigs, tours, and recordings.

What Makes My Approach Different?
As a vocal coach who specialises in working with speakers and performers, I combine technical expertise with an understanding of the creative process. I’ve supported hundreds of artists through recovery, helping them rebuild their vocal function and confidence while preserving what makes their voice theirs. With experience in coaching performance anxiety, in addition to vocal guidance and support, I can help you to manage performance anxiety that often accompanies vocal damage and loss.
Every voice is different. Every story is different. Vocal recovery can take anything from a few days to months, and, for advanced singers, full recovery may take up to 12 months. Every session is designed with you in mind and adapted to your progression rate.
Ready to reclaim your voice?
If you’re dealing with vocal challenges and want expert support that’s compassionate, practical, and grounded in healthy technique, Restorative Vocal Care could be the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
How can I benefit from Restorative Vocal Care
Your voice is a part of you. As it is yours, it is very easy to take it for granted and put off treating it like other instruments. Unlike other instruments, it comes for free, but like other parts of your body, it is vulnerable to damage.
Speaking and singing are physical exercises; we use our whole body for both. Like any other physical exercise, if you don't learn how to use your body safely it is very easy to slip into bad habits, causing vocal fatigue and damage. And if you've recently undergone vocal therapy, it's particularly risky.
With the right training, you will be able to understand how to use your instrument correctly so that you can sing even the most difficult songs, speak at length or project your voice without causing injury.
Do you have specific qualifications?
Yes, I have a Rock School Teaching Licentiate (LTCL, Level 6) and a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education, Level 7). While I am not medically trained (and therefore cannot perform medical interventions), I have extensive knowledge and experience in vocal health and have worked successfully with hundreds of singers, speakers and voice workers in the past five years.
How much do you charge for Remedial Vocal Care
We have a number of packages for Remedial Vocal Care, depending on the severity and complexity of your vocal issues.
A 30-minute online consultation is £15; £20 in person.
Where do you hold your sessions?
Remedial Vocal Care sessions are available online. A limited number of in-person slots are available at Overdrive Studios in Deptford. Availability for consultations reflects availability for full sessions.
Are online sessions as good as face-to-face sessions?
I have been teaching online since 2018 and have students around the world, including China!
Proving that online lessons are as valuable as face-to-face lessons.
As long as you have a strong internet connection, online lessons can be just as good, if not better, than face-to-face lessons. As an international vocal coach, I have students all over the world who benefit from online lessons.
Plus, you can take lessons anywhere you like and there's no need to figure out travel times or navigate traffic!
If you don't want to take sessions at home there may be practice rooms or similar to hire by the hour in your local area.
Do you deliver in singers' homes?
I generally don't teach at clients' homes. If and when I occasionally do, this incurs a considerable premium.
While I understand why some teachers and coaches travel, this would limit the number of clients I could help, as travel around London, even locally, can take up to two hours at peak times.
If you would like to take lessons in the comfort of your own home, online lessons can work as well as in-person lessons. If you would still like to consider at-home lessons, please apply by clicking the button either above or below the Frequently Asked Questions section.
