Paige Smith | Helping you overcome the real causes of your stutter

Sometimes you stutter, sometimes you don’t…making you feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster of fear and anxiety — about to go off the rails and out of control
You tend to stutter in specific situations with different people on different days, especially when talking to an authority figure
You experience a sense of dread before speaking, even with friends and family
You put a lot of effort and struggle into trying NOT to stutter, to look like a fluent speaker
Your fluency is never there when you need it — but always there when you don’t
You feel great on a “good” speech day but an absolute failure on a “bad” day
You tend to avoid specific people and situations to eliminate stuttering
You might know the speech therapy techniques inside and out but get "hijacked" transferring them to the real world

Spontaneous and free when you speak, without all the 'prep' work
Effortless communication with others — from making small talk to big presentations
Nothing holds you back from saying what you want to say
Focused on connection — not just speaking perfection
Living life to the fullest in pursuing dreams (and not missing out)
Productive and engaged in a job/career you love to do (and not just because there is little to no speaking involved)
Confident and capable in your abilities (no fear or anxiety)

I know how frustrating it can be, when your friends and family don't understand what life is like for you. But I do...

Only a person who stutters, or has stuttered, knows what it's like for another person who stutters.

Stuttering since the age of 4, I've come a long way on my own journey. Through sheer persistence and an attitude of never giving up, I've found myself on the other side of stuttering.

I've been curious to understand how I got to where I am now — from the intense fear and shame of stuttering to now communicating with much greater ease and flow.

This is the goal. To find flow, not perfect fluency.

Looking back — as well as inward — I've learned a lot along the way and discovered so much by examining my own experience with stuttering.

During this process, I've observed, studied and uncovered the various factors that influences situational (or variable) stuttering. With this knowledge, you have the upper-hand over stuttering instead of it controlling you.

Nature: Your inborn nature or temperament influences the tendency to hide your stutter due to perfectionism.
Relationships: Who is around you explains why you stutter more with some people, especially authority figures.
Environment: The people, places and things in your environment trigger tension-filled stress responses.
Behaviours: Influenced by your comfort zone, coping strategies include avoidance and procrastination.
Body: Sensitive to tension, your body automatically triggers a stress response in fearful speaking situations.
Heart: Beneath your stuttering iceberg — fear, anxiety and shame negatively affects your emotional health.
Mind: Your type of mindset and quality of thoughts makes a big difference in how you experience stuttering.

This program focuses on an inside-out approach for people who stutter — focusing on the psychology behind stuttering (not speech therapy).

This program identifies the Freedom Fluency Factors™ that are contributing to your disfluency. When you understand variable stuttering, you’re more empowered to make choices that support yourself.

By gaining self-awareness, changing, releasing and letting go of the various factors that are creating physical tension in the body — especially negative psychological energy — increased fluency will be a natural by-product.

"When I understand why I’m stuttering, then it’s a lot easier to not beat myself up about it."

Working with Paige is like having a mirror that shows you why you are the way you are — and helps guide you to be the person you want to be. It may sound trite, but it's a life-changing experience. She doesn't "fix" you but takes away the fear and misunderstanding, so you feel you're in control of your own destiny. After working with various speech/cognitive therapists, I felt more progress was made with Paige in a short period of time.

MICHAEL, United States

"I've learned a lot about myself and stuttering, gaining insight into many psychological aspects."

From the beginning I had to push against my reluctance to share my thoughts, feelings and answer personal questions. However, I realized that it actually feels good to share with someone who can understand what I'm going through and provide valuable support. Towards the end I felt a sense of accomplishment and confidence that I can take the next steps on my own, empowered by the knowledge I acquired.
