Breanna had been seeing providers for 9 years before she saw Dr. Ziegler. “My parents have taken me to several doctors and speech pathologists, but nothing worked. It was so FRUSTRATING!” she shared.

“I am 12 now and developed a love for acting, but I got turned down for a part due to my speech. I was lucky enough to get referred to Dr. Ziegler. He treated me like a partner in my care and in 6 weeks he has completely fixed my speech. I was able to go to acting camp and NO ONE asked me why I speak funny.”

At The Wellness Group, we serve clients of all ages to meet their voice, speech, and swallowing needs. Book your free consultation today: https://wellnessgroupslp.com/sign-up/

“I went to Aaron to help me establish a new voice for myself as I work my way through this transition from male to female,” shared Tess. “Aaron’s gracious, welcoming, positive and calm demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable in what could have been a very awkward encounter.”

She continued, “He is human, he is compassionate and he is genuinely concerned about you and what it is you want to achieve with your voice. Not a preconceived notion of what your voice should sound like. His goal is to help you achieve the best voice that is right for you and that you are comfortable with. I am grateful that he is a part of my transition.”

“I’ve worked primarily with Jennifer, and our sessions are dynamic, informative, relevant, efficient, and effective,” shared Sam, a transmasculine singer and Wellness Group client. “She has a gift of knowing exactly when to stay on a topic and when to move on, and how to vary the pace of the information she gives so as to avoid burnout. She balances her expertise with deferral to my knowledge of my own body regularly, which feels empowering. Additionally, I appreciate the methodical way Jennifer sums up our sessions by having me answer specific questions that will guide my self-study in the interim.”

“I walked into Aaron’s office having watched a plethora of YouTube videos on transvoice and had been trying to achieve a feminine voice using DIY techniques, without much success,” shared Alice, who worked with Dr. Ziegler to achieve a more feminine voice.

“I honestly wasn’t sure how feminine of a voice I would be able to achieve. Aaron started me out with the basics, breathing, learning to use my voice with ease and without excessive tension, next came gentle increases in pitch and warmth, and lastly came working on vowels and intonation. By the end I had a reasonably passable female voice, much more so than I had anticipated. I’ve continued to practice since and get better every day with practice and patience, the framework that Aaron gave me was invaluable to setting me up for success.”

“As the result of a rare virus I lost the ability to effectively speak or sing for nearly a year,” shared our client Stan.

“Following successful surgery in Portland, OR, Dr. Aaron Ziegler began working with me in both speech and singing therapy. The ability to speak is essential to me in my business. Over about a four month period of intense therapy I regained my ability to not only speak for extended periods of time but again to sing. His experience and professionalism successfully brought me through this very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Ziegler to anyone needing help with healing and therapy for speech and singing.”
