Kate Valentine is a pioneering Vocal Health Specialist and the founder of Valentine Voice Care, a leading multidisciplinary practice with centres in Lewes and Glasgow. Widely recognised as one of the UK’s most trusted and respected authorities in the field, Kate leads a dedicated team that champions a personalised, biopsychosocial approach to vocal wellbeing, treating the whole human being, not just the instrument.

Her mission is to destigmatise vocal injury and build resilience for all voice users, from elite performers and professional voice users to those simply seeking a healthier relationship with their voice. Beyond her specialist hands-on work in vocal massage and laryngeal manual therapy, Kate is a renowned educator, in high demand as a speaker and for her workshops on vocal rehabilitation, injury prevention and vocal self-massage.

She is actively shaping the future of the industry through specialist training and supervision for health practitioners and singing teachers. Kate’s reputation for excellence is defined by her partnerships with the UK’s leading cultural institutions, including the Royal Ballet & Opera, English National Opera, Glyndebourne, Opera North, Garsington Opera, National Opera Studio, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Voces8, Dunedin Consort and British Youth Opera.

Drawing on her former career as a principal artist on the international operatic stage, Kate combines technical precision with deep empathy. Having sustained a vocal injury, she transitioned from the stage to vocal health to ensure that no one has to navigate vocal challenges alone, empowering her clients with the knowledge and tools to build sustainable, life-long vocal health.
