My name is Judith Wodzak (pronouns: she/her) and I am a speech language pathologist (SLP), singer, vocal health educator, researcher, and founder of Voices Ablaze. I am licensed to provide therapy services in both Wisconsin and Minnesota and provide both accent modification and gender affirming voice coaching services to students worldwide. I have years of experience working with children and adults in both educational and medical settings.

I am passionate about neurodiversity affirming therapy, LGBT+ inclusion, disability rights, accessibility, adolescent vocal health education, and play-based therapy.
