TESTIMONIALS
"Documented proof of success! I’ve worked with Carrie McBreen for about 10 weeks to improve my vocal cords strength after watching a video of how poorly they we functioning with my doctor. Yesterday I returned to my doctor for another scope. WOW! The IMPROVEMENT in vocal cord functioning was dramatic! It encouraged me to work even harder with Carrie to improve my voice. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’re improving with something as subtle as your voice. But SEEING IS BELIEVING! Thanks Carrie. You’re simply the best!"

"After being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in February and then having a pretty traumatic thyroidectomy that resulted in one of my vocal cords being forever paralyzed, I was challenged with speaking and breathing normally maybe ever again. My voice was shot and I was unable to speak even one or two words without huffing and puffing so the recommendations were just don't talk!! That was not realistic for me or for anyone I imagine who wants to have relationships, a career, and a way to express themselves. I was fortunate enough to add Carrie to my care team and we started with weekly voice therapy sessions in April. After weeks and months of practicing and following worksheets and taking her recommendations for tools to help with breathing and strengthening, me and my family noticed improvement. After about three 3 months of weekly sessions, I learned how to breathe properly and speak through my nasal mask and not my throat. Wow!! It was like a miracle and Carrie was patient, supportive and super knowledgeable about possibilities for my future and my voice. Our sessions then moved to biweekly, then monthly, and just this month, I've completed services with Carrie. I am speaking almost normally and maintaining a lifestyle like before all this happened. I know I would have never figured out how to function with only one vocal cord without Carrie's help and I will always appreciate her skills, knowledge, and most of all…her heart! Thank you Carrie!!!"

"Carrie helped me to finally find a voice that matched my identity. She was incredibly kind and always happy to slow things down and make sure I understood what we were working on."

"I was diagnosed with vocal nodules that were having a very negative impact on my life personally and professionally. Carrie worked to get appointments scheduled for me quickly, even over a holiday. After only two sessions with her my voice was significantly better. She really listened to my specific needs and challenges, and guided me to solutions that were impactful and manageable. I am so grateful that my physician recommended her."

"My voice was very hoarse and raspy due to a polyp on my vocal cord. My ENT was fairly certain I would need surgery in order to get my voice back to normal. Carrie saved me from needing surgery - in just 2 months of working with her my voice was back to normal!"

"I lost my voice for over 7 weeks due to a polyp developing on my vocal cords after possibly bursting a little blood vessel in my throat. The ENT doctor prescribed voice therapy by Ms. Carrie McBreen. I began the therapy with little enthusiasm for it truly helping me. However, I went through the sessions and listened and performed the exercises Ms. McBreen gave me to do. After by the second session, I began to see how her instructions regarding using air to push my words through instead of my "throat" were taking the pressure off of my vocal cords, and I found myself speaking this way automatically after the third session without thought. After the 3rd-4th session, my voice was back at least 90%. Ms. McBreen is very professional and thorough, and while a bit of a task master for the exercises to make sure I got them correct, I welcomed her sticking to the exercises and the script to make sure that I got the best result from them. I would recommend her to anyone with voice strain or problems.

"As I grow older, my voice has become increasingly raspy. There have been times when I could barely speak above a whisper. Thanks to Carrie McBreen, I have resumed normal conversations with a number of PT techniques that she so patiently and effectively provided. I highly recommend her professional services."

"Carrie McBreen is wonderful. She is deeply knowledgeable, thorough, and wonderfully patient and helpful. The exercises were excellent and highly effective. I went from having no voice to being able to talk normally again in two weeks."

"I am extremely happy with the service provided by Carrie McBreen. Instead of being told to speak one specific way I was taught 8-10 different techniques and then chose which of those to emphasize to find my own true and genuine voice. My voice used to trigger gender dysphoria and now it only makes me feel happy and confident in myself."
