I would encourage anyone with Parkinson’s to complete a LSVT course. Clear speech is so important for socialising and one’s well-being. Since my diagnosis nearly 6 years ago, I noticed that on occasion I was slightly slurring some words. I also became aware that people with Parkinson’s tend to have quieter voices. We all need to be the best we can for as long as we can so I decided to invest in the LSVT course.
Celia is a true professional and made the course fun. It was intensive and hard work with homework and at times the repetition seemed boring. But no pain, no gain. After 4 weeks I felt that my voice had more bounce and more intonation in it and was not so monotonous. Above all it improved my confidence.
Celia personalised the course material covering topics and places of interest with which I was familiar, immediately making me feel at ease. She is hugely encouraging and brings out the best in people. She is extremely knowledgeable and is so enthusiastic it’s infectious! She makes you want to do well. She knows how to work you hard but without overstretching you.
