Hi, My name is Esther and I’m a speech pathologist based out of Fort Myers, Florida. I am originally from Chicago but have been practicing here in Florida for 5 years. I do home health with multiple companies and also see clients privately. I always try to connect potential clients with a company that will take their insurance before charging out of pocket. I specialize in dysphagia (swallowing trouble), voice, aphasia (language difficulties), cognitive difficulties, and AAC. Some types of clients I work with are post stroke, brain injury, post surgery prolonged intubation, pre-during-post cancer treatment, ALS, Parkinsons, and dementia. I’d love to chat and see if I can help!

In 1999, I created Voice Aerobics®, a whole-body voice strengthening program designed to serve as an after therapy program for persons with voice changes due to Parkinson’s disease. In 2008, Voice Aerobics, LLC was established and the Voice Aerobics family of products has grown to include affordable programs and products that are designed to be used on your own at home or anywhere you go. And most importantly, the programs are designed to be fun! Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to provide education on health related topics throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, and provide educational seminars with Cross Country Education and Passy-Muir Inc.
