Holistic Singing Sessions
Holistic singing sessions are highly beneficial for those seeking to enhance their singing abilities, increase self-awareness, boost creativity, improve technical skills, and strengthen confidence. Holistic training not only improves vocal ability but also helps develop precise technique by integrating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions as a whole. Additionally, these sessions can focus on exploring traditional and contemporary techniques, expanding vocal range, improving intonation, developing music theory and sight-reading skills, sharpening aural skills, and mastering performance training.
SOUNDING Sessions
When the voice is blocked, muffled, or held back, life becomes suppressed too. Sounding sessions help restore the natural flow of life by tapping into the brilliance and power of your voice. These sessions are specifically designed for individuals who wish to develop their voice outside of regular singing lessons.
FOR SONGWRITERS
This session goes far beyond improving your technique. After leading a vocal improvisation group for more than a decade, I discovered powerful ways to inspire songwriters to create their own original songs. Together, we will explore curiosity, play, and trust so that ideas can emerge organically by listening more deeply to your voice and inner vision.
Embodied Sessions
Voice and Body/Yoga/Movement
This technique uses specially designed physical exercises that help restore, build, and maintain the mind-body-voice connection. You will discover exercises that encourage the flow of energy needed to open up your breath and untangle knots in the body, mind, and voice.
Fitzmaurice Voicework® Sessions
Fitzmaurice Voicework® is a global leader in voice training. It supports individuals in finding and using their unique voices in healthy, clear, and creative ways, while developing greater freedom and presence. The approach combines adaptations of classical voice training techniques with modifications of yoga, shiatsu, bioenergetics, energy work, and other disciplines. This integration harmonises both voluntary and involuntary parts of the nervous system.
Myofascial/voice release
The Roll Model® Method
This self-myofascial release technique helps free up tight tissues in the body, which in turn enhances lung capacity, reduces stress, and increases body awareness. As a result, your voice benefits from improved resonance, control, and overall expression. The Roll Model® is a self-care and self-massage practice that uses grippy, pliable rubber balls to release tension, improve mobility, and build body awareness.
BRAIN-BASED SINGING SESSIONS
The SINGING ATHLETE ™ Method
Did you know that the brain plays a crucial role in singing? These sessions are where neuroscience, anatomy, and the voice come together. Because singing is a reflexive process guided by the brain, we will explore exactly what your brain and nervous system respond to most effectively.

Mentoring/coaching
These sessions are for you if you are looking for fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, career growth, constructive feedback, clarity, or support in overcoming creative blocks and challenges.

EMBODIED COACHING
Embodied coaching sessions share similarities with the creative mentoring described above. However, the key difference is that your voice and body serve as our guiding elements. To support our practice, we incorporate a rich blend of embodied movement, yoga, vocal exploration, breathwork, meditation, and visualisation techniques. Each session is designed to help you fully embody the life you want to live.
Performance Anxiety
Performance anxiety is a persistent feeling of fear and nervousness experienced when anticipating being watched or evaluated. These sessions provide targeted tools to help you overcome this fear and unlock your full potential as both an artist and a communicator.

TESTIMONIALS
WHY ONLINE?
Online sessions offer undeniable benefits. From a practical perspective, online sessions are significantly less chaotic because they eliminate the need for travel and related expenses, saving valuable time and resources in the process. They are more cost-effective, as the cost of renting a studio is no longer a factor. These sessions provide flexibility to join from anywhere, allowing for greater convenience and accessibility. Perhaps most importantly, online clients tend to take greater responsibility for their voices, which enables them to become more independent. This shift in perspective and approach empowers them to take control of their progress and make meaningful strides in their personal or professional growth.
