Singer, Nurturer, Healer, Curiosity Driven Person, Creative Mind, and Your Biggest Supporter.
From Novice to Pro, I’ve got your back.
As a voice mentor, yoga teacher, performer, Reiki practitioner, and YogaVoice® founding partner, over the past 15+ years, I’ve helped novice to pro singers discover their real voice and love their sound, led 20+ high school students through the college music audition process, and trained voice professionals across the world to prepare for high stakes singing engagements.
I’ve distilled those years of experience into my method of meeting a client’s needs. Whether you’re a speaker or a singer, novice or pro, my method is one of the most effective, holistic, and sustainable ways of finding your voice, figuring out how you want to sing, and igniting your love of using your voice. I want you to know in your bones that you have a right to use your voice for your highest good and have fun in a compassionate environment along the way. Your voice matters, it is powerful, and you have a right to be heard.
