Spasmodic Dysphonia
Walking Through my everyday life is a plain fact of Healing.
​ Scelestine has a procedure every three months to talk. She studies and logs changes around the clock. When her doctor told her she couldn't do both, that really pulled the grounds from under her as a professional singer. She knew she couldn't be the only one suffering from this disease, so she made the decision to help other people who were diagnosed with SD.

There are two types of Spasmodic Dysphonia , (SD) The first type is the most common SD . Spasms that causes the vocal folds to slam together and stiffen. These spasms make it difficult for the vocal folds to vibrate and produce sounds.
The second type of SD is Abductor Spasm that cause the vocal folds to open. The vocal folds cannot vibrate when they are open too far. This open position also allows air to escape from the lung during speech.
Scelestine has Mixed Spasmodic Dysphonia which is the combination of the two types. This is very rare as both the muscles that open and the muscle that close the vocal folds are not working properly, it has features of both adductor and abductor Spastic Dysphonia.
