I’m Kiersten, founder of Beyond High C. I used to speak so softly that I was constantly asked to repeat myself. I lacked confidence until I was introduced to a smart, simple breathing strategy that I could reliably use to power my healthy, loud and clear voice. I went on to earn a Master’s degree in Voice Pedagogy and train to be a professional singer. I've performed in professional musical theater productions and speak with ease and power daily without needing to think about it.
We teach and practice this simple strategy in class, so that people with Parkinson's can develop a reliable, healthy way to physically power their loud voices automatically, keeping communication breakdown at bay.
I strongly believe that people who find activities entertaining will stick with them, so, it's become my passion to create and facilitate voice practice activities that are fun and engaging! We coordinate with several Speech Language Pathologists to underpin our activities with therapeutic elements to facilitate speech and cognition improvement.
