    “I’ve always struggled with poor voice quality, and I’ve always been a quiet talker. I also have a very active job as a nurse in a busy outpatient surgical setting where I am constantly talking with patients, and was finding myself struggling to keep up in terms of vocal quality. It was starting to impact my quality of life, and I was referred to vocal therapy by my doctor. That’s when I met Asra. Warm, friendly, and an excellent listener, she quickly knew what I was dealing with and had an amazing treatment plan for me. She not only helped my voice, she helped me gain confidence when I speak, and I now find myself to be a better overall conversationalist. I was truly impressed with how well the vocal therapy helped.”
