Vocal coaching
& voice movement therapyCoaching sessions with me will help you unravel some of the habits that limit your vocal expression, whilst building strength, flexibility and improved function in the physical structures that support and produce your voice. This work is a powerful way to explore and resolve old stories and perceived limitations or simply to learn about and enjoy your voice more fully while developing its melodic range, timbre and expressivity.
I’ve coached individuals and groups in private practice, business, education and therapeutic settings since 1999. I work with both singers and speakers offering an individually focused methodology, that is practical in its approach, grounded in breath and body and holistic in approach.

work with me
One to One
Individually-tailored sessions with an emphasis on building a strong fully embodied voice – whilst including whatever else comes up..
A typical session can include breath and body work, practical warm-ups specific to your voice, extended sound or speech work, song or improvisational work and/or, the broader view of the performance and your personal impact. I give homework suggestions and encourage personal work to be included in sessions when appropriate.
I welcome people of any identity, colour, gender, culture or belief system.
