My name is Celia. I created Vox Humana in 2011 to focus on those areas about which I am passionate – supporting clients with Parkinson’s disease, trans voice and training.
For my Vox Humana clients with Parkinson’s disease, I am able to deliver specialist therapy due to being a Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) registered clinician. I have delivered LSVT LOUD® to a large number of clients and am always delighted by the resulting improvement in the volume and clarity of their speech.
I run a weekly LOUD for LIFE™ group – this is maintenance sessions for people who have done LSVT LOUD® and who want to maintain their clear, loud speech.
I run monthly Vox Humana communication groups for those with Parkinson’s disease – called Loud and Clear Speech – for Andover, Winchester, Southampton, Salisbury, Basingstoke, Newbury, Fareham, Guildford and Bromley Parkinson’s groups. I also give talks to Parkinson’s groups about the role of speech and language therapy in managing both speech and swallowing difficulties.
I am privileged to work with many trans clients, enabling them to successfully achieve their optimum voice and communication style. I trained under Christella Antoni, formerly of Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic.
I was a member of the speech and language therapy team in The Royal Hampshire County Hospital for 10 years, working with patients with acquired neurological impairments including strokes, head injuries, Parkinson’s disease and Motor Neurone Disease. I also worked with outpatients who had voice impairments and with trans clients.
