Client Testimonials
“Edwina you are a beacon of light amongst a sea of Parkinson’s sufferers, keep up the excellent work.”
“Tony looked forward to the sessions each week. He really appreciated the friendship of the Sing Thing group, so thank you to the beautiful people who go to the classes each Monday.”
“Thank you for all your work and effort on our son, Kaya’s behalf. It is good to see him being more confident within himself. One big difference I have noticed is him looking for other ways to tell me something, or offering up more information related to a word or person’s name I’m mishearing.”
“Edwina, thank you for another valued session with Trish; we both appreciate your patience, empathy, and the genuine enthusiasm you bring to every session.”
“We have known Edwina for a number of years now. We first met her through the Parkinson’s Sing Thing Choir where she guides Parkinson’s sufferers in talking with intent and exercising throat muscles so they can live safely and comfortably with Parkinson’s. My husband has Parkinson’s and now has individual therapy sessions with Edwina to improve his speech and swallowing, which is essential therapy for Parkinson’s. Edwina’s knowledge of Parkinson’s and the necessary therapy is unparalleled. If you are reading this you or someone you know needs to join the choir and consult with Edwina.”
