Mary’s Story

Mary Spremulli, MA,CCC-SLP, has been a medical speech-language pathologist  for over 30 years and currently owns a private practice, Voice Aerobics,LLC, located in SW Florida. She is the  creator of the Voice Aerobics® family of products which are designed to blend the art and science of voice therapy into fun, home-based  programs. These are designed to be used independently by patients with a goal of maximizing  function and reducing  some of the speech, voice, and motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s.

Ms. Spremulli has lectured nationally and internationally on health related topics, published in the area of Clinical Ethics and Patients Education, and her blog has  been selected as one of the top 49 blogs about Parkinson’s disease by HealthcareTechnicians.org.

Ms. Spremulli hosts a monthly podcast: Voice Aerobics Talking 2 You, where listeners can call in to speak with a variety of guests on topics related to living well with neurogenic diseases.

Relocated to SW Florida in 1989 from Cleveland, Ohio, Ms. Spremulli holds speech-language pathology licenses in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. She also holds a Florida nursing license.

Mary is a member of the Education Committee of the World Parkinson Program, a faculty member of Neurochallenge, located in Sarasota, FL, and a Clinical Consultant with Passy-Muir Inc., manufacturer of a tracheostomy speaking valve.

Says Mary, “In the late 1990’s, when my own father developed Parkinsonism, my interest and desire to help patients became a personal mission. I witnessed the things my dad struggled with on a day-to-day basis, including changes to voice and swallowing. I often see that same struggle in the eyes of my patients, fueling a desire to ease their struggle and help in the ways I can.”
