It's time to
begin!
I’m also a little obsessed with all things astrology, the moon, G&Ts, bunnies, classic novels and house renos!
If we were to have coffee we’d probably end up in a deep well somewhere & hear the heart beat of why I absolutely love my job!! You’ll hear how I’ve been teaching vocals to all ages & stages for over 20 years, it’s my specialty because my greatest delight for authentic connection found in the journey of expression & transformation.
I’ve always loved music, singing but in my early twenties I had vocal nodules and it took way longer than I’d liked to recover. I was so caught up in my identity as “the one with the angelic voice (without any training)” loosing my ability and opportunity to sing made me ask a lot of questions.
As I healed, I came to the conclusion I wanted to master this vocal thing and I want to teach others how to not make the same mistakes as I did.
So when I got to study vocal professionally with a focus around opera, then jazz, then an extended two year study on contemporary pop I fell in love with combining different tools from each genre to help others find their voices too.
Along with nerding out on vocal anatomy and how our physiology is intertwined with our emotional life I discovered where my clients found their greatest vocal challenges - releasing emotions held the key.
With 90%+ of our lives operating from our unconscious mind we create an opportunity when we activate our vocals consciously to go deeper into what holds us back & finding ways to nourish our soul, self & sound.
How we sing affects how we speak and vice versa, I believe when we can sing freely we create a culminative overflow effect on our day to day lives.
Why work with me?

Your sound is created by your whole body, & your mindset so togetehr make the necessary shifts from head to heart by way of weaving together & embodying vocals intentionally connected to support your nervous system, sound & finding vocal freedom.
Cultivate a meaningful path through playful curiousity.
Did you know the voice is the emotional centre? Well, so many of my clients ended up needing greater tools to support their emotions and develop courage to trust their inner knowing, so my approach to vocals is holistically - combining my acquired knowledge & experience & qualifications as a Professional Musician, Holistic Coaching & NLP Practitioner.
Small changes invite us to create a journey of discovery and growth. From this mantle I now cultivate sacred spaces for my clients to tap into their inner child & take single steps towards their singing and communication goals.
The core values of rest, rhythms & rituals formed after having experienced my own burnout and receiving an adult ADHD diagnosis. The importance of prioritising rest into my life taught me its necessary - not a reward. It has shown me first hand what my limits are & how to best support myself to walk confidently into any of life's arenas.
Our sessions go beyond the voice itself, and pour into the very essence of who you are. I’ve been vocal coaching for 20 years now, and its still my greatest delight to witness and hold space for my clients to rediscover their sound as they connect with themselves.
The voice is a gateway to creating a path back to our home & hearth - our authentic self so naturally my desire has always been to journey alongside others, to share from my own experiences and to be forever a learner.
I believe our commitment to our own personal and spiritual formation enables us to not only express ourselves and harness our personal power, but we reminds us to return to our authentic self and remember who we are.
