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.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this speech clinic. From the very first session, we…read morefelt confident that we had made the right choice for our son. Narda tried multiple techniques until she connected with my son. The team is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly patient, caring, and truly invested in each child's progress. Since starting therapy, we've seen so much growth in our son--both in his communication and his confidence. The therapists take the time to tailor each session to his needs and always make it engaging and fun for him. What really stands out is how supported we feel as parents. They consistently provide guidance and helpful tips we can use at home, which has made such a difference in reinforcing his progress. We are beyond grateful for the impact they've had on our son and would highly recommend this clinic to any family looking for compassionate and effective speech therapy.

Danielle was my daughter Sofia's Speech Therapist in an early intervention program…read more My daughter has autism, and at the time she started with Danielle at age 2 and a half, she only had about 3 or 4 words and no functional speech. She also had a lot of behavioral issues - she had been with several speech therapists before who had a lot of difficulties working with my daughter. Then we met Danielle - she worked miracles with Sofia! Sofia went from almost no words at all to a vocabulary of about 200 words in 6 months. I absolutely credit Danielle with helping my daughter find her voice and learn to speak. We had such a wonderful experience working with Danielle - Sofia absolutely loved being with her. She is one of the most wonderful therapists I have ever met - she is so dedicated to helping these kids and such a kind, generous and patient person. I feel very fortunate that Sofia had her as a therapist - she's a miracle worker!

Danielle is a wonderful, caring, effective speech therapist! Every parent wants the best for their…read morechild and I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle for anyone whose child is struggling with speech. At a time when, despite my best efforts, I was feeling at a loss to help my child, I was lucky enough to find Danielle through an early intervention program. When we started sessions with Danielle, my son only had the word "no" and would not attempt any repetition. Over the last year, his vocabulary has impressively expanded to include 3 syllable words and stringing phrases together. When I say that "Dee" is coming over, his face lights up. Even when my kiddo has had an off day and isn't super cooperative, she somehow found a way to redirect and make the session both playful and meaningful. Danielle has brought out the best in him and lets his confidence flourish. It doesn't seem like work to him and he has learned so much! While every child is unique, Danielle has such a beautiful understanding and patience with children and has cultivated a very special bond. Her patience, positivity, intuition and expertise is evident when working with my son. But she even goes beyond that and has been an amazing support and teacher for me as well. She can quickly assess the situation, gently navigate through difficulties, gives tangible tips and celebrates the successes. I'm so lucky that Danielle has been a part of our lives and helped my son find his voice. She is everything a concerned parent would wish for their child.

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.

Duane Smith is the best. He has a highly impressive resume but more importantly is just a straight…read moreup guy. Like a good doctor, he gets right to the problem. Public speaking is extremely difficult but Duane can help anyone get better! I had a lot of confidence speaking publicly for many years and this was my biggest mistake. Wanting to improve my craft, I jumped at the opportunity to work with Mr. Duane Smith. He taught me what I needed to do and maybe more importantly, what not do. Errors in public speaking have serious ramifications! However, a well-planned, engaging presentation is a breath of fresh air. I learned that public speaking is a practice. Mr. Smith's expertise has helped me and his writing continues to help me to work on this very, very important skill.

After the first assessment, Laurie identified the root cause and worked with her twice a week for 2.5 years. Our daughter is now 4 and speaking at age level.

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!!

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!
