In-home speech therapy services in the NW/SW Portland and Beaverton areas for children and adults. Customized social-communication groups, blending yoga and speech therapy. I gradually started adding yoga breathing techniques into my treatments with my speech therapy clients in 2012. I was helping my patients create a calm space, a moment to connect with themselves. I was also offering other therapeutic benefits such as better breath support for speech and vocal amplitude. As my career shifted to also include an education focus, I found new therapeutic implications of blending yoga and speech therapy. I began working with preschoolers, incorporating short yoga sequences merging movement with the sounds and vocabulary they needed to learn. I found that yoga movements and guided relaxations, known to my students as 'magic carpet rides' helped the overall energy of my therapy groups. I'd be happy to chat with you to see if I can help you or your loved one!
