Times of transformation are difficult but beautiful. We approach these periods with love through our virtual voice therapy services for transgender and/or non-binary individuals.

Come as you are to explore your unique speaking and/or singing voice through change with the guidance of Alexa Munroe Choquette/ Mackenzie Costron. Together, we’ll discover your natural vocal range, learn how to protect the voice, vocal cords, and throat. This may include discussions around adapting to hormone therapies, addressing feelings of isolation within a safe setting, exploring confidence with identity and expression. We may also focus on how to adjust methods of communication to feel connected, gender affirmed, and happy with changes in sentence cadences, body language, and projection.
