“It’s not often that you find health care practitioners, who are experts at what they do and also great at connecting with people. But that’s the winning combination of precision and empathy that you’ll find at The Wellness Group for Voice Speech and Swallowing.”

As a transmasculine person who also considers themselves a singer, I didn't think I'd ever find someone to check all of these boxes in an SLP: someone with solid technical speech-language pathologist training, particularly for gender-affirming speaking voice, plus a deep sensitivity to the specific needs surrounding language and identity of the trans/gender-nonconforming/queer community, AND a strong background in voice training for singing. However, Jennifer of The Wellness Group is exactly in this niche, and she rules it! Our sessions are dynamic, informative, relevant, efficient, and effective. 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. The Wellness Group is the epitome of patience, perceptiveness, thoroughness, and professional integrity. And a giant bonus: they also go out of their way to build community among their clientele on an opt-in basis, which feels so gentle and resourcing. I cannot recommend The Wellness Group highly enough!

Jennifer Gill is a gifted and intuitive clinician. She is able to connect with her clients in a truly respectful, professional and humble way. Jennifer comes to her practice with excellent experience in gender-affirming vocal coaching as well as professional vocal performance. Of clinicians I have worked with, Jennifer is remarkable for her ability to partner with individuals to provide evidence-based, skilled, functional and engaging therapeutic activities.

I made more progress in my first appointment with Jennifer than I did in twenty appointments with another vocal coach. Jennifer’s approach is logical and effective, assuming of course that you practice. She found alternative approaches when a specific training technique was too challenging; it was a relief knowing that there was more than one way to achieve my goal. In addition to being an incredible teacher, Jennifer is kind and compassionate. She always made me feel comfortable and valued, and I think the transgender community is very, very fortunate that she wants to help our community find its true voice.
