About

Kapila Voice and Speech Services

Hello! I am a neurodivergent, Punjabi-American/South Asian-American speech-language pathologist, vocologist and voice teacher specializing in voice rehabilitation/habilitation and gender affirming voice training for singing and speech primarily via telehealth. I have over 20 years of singing training across classical and contemporary music approaches. My dedication in voice works focuses on holistic voice work, trauma-informed and client-centered care, and neurodiversity-affirming practices. I am also a frequent presenter and educator in the areas of gender inclusivity, gender affirming voice care, intersectionality, and other areas related to social justice in the field of speech-language pathology. I am an ASHA-Certified SLP, NCVS trained vocologist, and voice teacher. My training experiences include Somatic Voicework Level 1, Summer Vocology Institute (SVI), McClosky Technique, SPEAK OUT! by Parkinson's Voice Project, PhoRTE (Phonation Resistance Training Exercises), Walt Fritz' Manual Therapy, in addition to several courses on flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and rigid laryngeal videostroboscopy. All images of myself were taken by Amira Maxwell Photography, amiramaxwell.com.

“Through the explorative work done with Ruchi, I've been able to expand both my understanding and proficiency of my voice as an instrument. This enables me to further delve into more truly self-reflective gender presentations. ”
