Mental Wellness for Performing Artists

In this episode, I speak with Stephen King.  Stephen is the founder of The Voice Care Centre and an Integrative Therapist at the Centre for Mental Wellness.

Stephen currently sits as the Director of London’s award-winning, multidisciplinary Voice Care Centre, where he still occasionally gives treatments to people with voice problems seeking biopsychosocial management of their ongoing issues.  

On the podcast, he shares his expertise covering various topics including different therapeutic practices, professional boundaries, the impact of nature on mental health, the importance of having a spiritual practice, ADHD, and more.
