I've always been soft-spoken, which definitely goes with my personality. But in my new position, I…read moremake presentations much more frequently and realized that my soft-spoken manner was not making the impact I wanted. I found Patrick because he has great reviews for his services and I am so glad I did. He has helped me find a voice and a presence I didn't know was in me. The sessions are fun and fast-moving. Even after our first coaching, my voice was stronger and I felt more confident. The vice president of my division even gave me a compliment the other day, which she rarely does. Thank you, Patrick, for helping me find my voice!

It's one thing to want to grow and another to know how to achieve it. Most of my career growth has…read morebeen shaped by time spent in the trenches. When I first reached out to Saul, I wanted to develop in a very specific area: pitching creative to clients. In that regard, I couldn't have found a better resource. Saul not only coached me to become a more effective communicator, but he also helped me connect more deeply with the work and ultimately unlock more creative potential. This latter point shifted the trajectory of my career and ambitions, transforming our relationship from "speaking coach" to mentor. The relationship and continuity we've built have been transformational, influencing the way I approach my role as both a creative and a leader, and shaping everything our company does. What began as a specific goal has evolved into something infinitely more personal and gratifying: exploratory and broad, yet always directed toward developing a clear vision that I've been able to hone over time. It's no exaggeration to say that the time I've spent working with Saul has completely changed my perspective on what I am capable of achieving and broadened my horizons. We've been at it for over five years now, and I plan to continue for many more.

As psychotherapist and an introvert, my comfort zone was working individually with people or being…read morebehind the scenes. But I reached a point in my career where I needed to do some public speaking and was going to lead trainings, and I knew I needed help. When I found Saul's work online, I had no real concept of voice training--only that I needed to address my public speaking anxiety. My work with Saul not only profoundly transformed my relationship to my anxiety, but also invited deeper layers of connection with myself as I connected with others. I learned how to better engage with self-critical parts, trust more of my experience, discover enough safety to melt old places of freeze, and make real sense of the word "embodied." Most importantly, I learned how to more deeply and clearly express what I really care about. While it wasn't easy, there were so many good and great surprises along the way. The work we've done together--supported by his compassionate presence, attention to my specific needs and process, creative approach to learning, and deep experience in somatics and voice work--has been truly life changing. Our work will continue to affect not just my public speaking, but all areas of my life where confidence and connection really matter.

Naomi is a truly exceptional Speech Therapist. She worked with my son during COVID and helped him…read moremake incredible progress, and more recently she evaluated my twins. Her level of skill and expertise is outstanding, and she has an intuitive ability to know exactly how to connect with each child and bring out the best in them. Beyond her talent, Naomi is unbelievably warm, friendly, and encouraging. She brings boundless energy and joy to her work--we call her the "Speech Therapy Miss Rachel." My husband said that he has never met anyone more enthusiastic about their job, and that enthusiasm is contagious. We adore her, trust her, and it's immediately clear how deeply she cares. Naomi consistently goes above and beyond. She even took the time to send me worksheets for my daughter who is NOT her client, simply because she wanted to help. That level of generosity, dedication, and heart is rare. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a truly outstanding speech therapist.

Beyond the excellent progress where our son went from speaking a couple words at a time to full sentences and an explosion of new vocabulary, the therapists were beyond loving and kind to him. They were also so flexible and accommodating when scheduling conflicts arose. Not only did he never put up a fight when it was time to go, he actually had so much fun with them every time! We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Achieve. Cannot say enough good things, highly recommend!!

My son has been seeing Brittany for speech therapy for almost a year now and the improvement he's…read moreshown is exceptional. We started right around his 3rd birthday. He was having so much trouble being able to express himself using words that it led to other behavioral issues at school and on the playground. After nearly a year with Brittany he's able to clearly express what he wants/needs and has shown so much improvement at school, the playground and playing with his peers. I couldn't be happier that we found this facility and been able to work with Brittany.

Jamie can definitely help in so many different cases. Highly recommended. Thank you J!

Brian is hands-down one of the best vocal coaches out there. He really understands the anatomy and…read morescience behind singing, and he explains what's happening in your body in a way that makes it easy to understand and recreate on your own. He's not cheap, but he's absolutely worth it if you want to learn efficiently instead of spending money on endless lessons that don't move the needle. I've been learning from him for almost a year, and I've learned so much more in that time than I did in four years at another studio. Thanks Brian!!

A little update here on yelp. It's only been four lessons, but I just wanted to take a moment to…read moreappreciate you by saying thank you very much for doing what you do!!! Music has always been there for me through many difficult parts of my life, but I've always felt like there was this gap between music and I that I could never close. I never felt like I had any talent to immerse myself, or further myself in it. Always just singing to myself, or when I'm alone, because that's the only time I have the courage to explore my voice. I have to say I've never felt this great singing before and it's only been four lessons. This year for me is big on self investment and rediscovering myself and where my interests/passion lies. You've gotta take some risks in life sometimes and taking a chance on vocal lessons with you has been by far one of the best decisions I've made in a while!. I'm still super stoked and I'm looking forward to what's to come!! Thanks voice dad!

Paloma is a seasoned professional with an absolutely beautiful voice, and she made the entire process approachable, easy to digest, and genuinely fun. She taught me how the voice truly works--breath support, diaphragm use, vocal anatomy, resonance, tongue placement, and effective exercises that rebuilt my voice with care and intention. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional, yet she explains everything in a way that feels clear and accessible. Most importantly, I felt extremely comfortable and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Paloma's expertise, patience, and encouragement, I was able to deliver a heartfelt and beautiful tribute to my mother. If you are returning to singing after time away or preparing for something truly meaningful, I cannot recommend Paloma highly enough.
