I BELIEVE THAT:
Healthier humans are able to teach differently.
Healthier singers make more authentic art which the world needs now more than ever.
Your voice is a gift for you to treasure and enjoy however you want.
The liberation of a voice is inextricably linked to the liberation of a spirit, and this is my highest gift of service to the universe.
I love you and everything you do and I want to help.
I’ve got a lot of fancy training (a doctorate in voice, certification in Somatic Experiencing, a yoga teaching certificate, a LOT of Alexander Technique, and values-based business) and I bring it all to hold space for you to be everything you are in our work together.

My Work
That’s how I got curious about trauma.
My singing changed dramatically when I understood that what I was pursuing was a whole body activity. I practiced yoga and even completed yoga teacher training, I used dance, improvised movement, and eventually Alexander Technique to help me investigate patterns and habits that were inhibiting my freest sound. I first encountered the word trauma in relation to performing artists in Betsy Polatin’s Alexander Technique class at Boston University. I got curious about how this might affect singers specifically; if Alexander could help us look at our patterns and make more intentional choices, could trauma healing take us to the root of where those habits originated? From there, I started the six-year journey to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, certified to help people make sense of traumatic experiences, and my book Trauma and the Voice was born. For you!
