The quality of our voice profoundly mirrors our physiological patternings. Voice-work effectually makes room for our fullest, reinvigorated and clarified life expression in the world.
I'm a voice methodologist who has supported thousands of voices around the globe for over 25 years. Having written over 1,000 songs, performed in more than 300 venues worldwide, and recorded dozens of compositional projects in studios, I believe I understand what it takes to nourish expression. Passionate about the intersection of sound, health, expression and culture, my professional work with the voice encompasses many facets, including providing somatic therapeutic voice work and high-intensity professional training for performers in the arts.
My clientele is diverse, including international consulting companies, high-security prisoners, main-stage TED speakers, top screen and stage actors, international singers, educators, therapists—all people seeking to safely explore expression. I work with the voice to reverse chronic pathological conditions, forming new, healthy muscle memory and nourishment for the nervous system, deepening focus and presence. With my support, clients' vocal explorations often result in significant gained insights and physiological shifts; new ways to listen and express. In sessions, I am meticulously dedicated, "working out" the voice in a plethora of simultaneous approaches, integrating traditional eastern arts, holistic medicine, western anatomical physics, theater, musical technique, and handfuls of synergetic methods. Through voice work, I can help you learn how to relieve physical pain, deeply relax, break habitual patterns, commit deeply to your core sense of self, and energize your physical performance—all while supporting you to finesse your greatest creative projects, project your sound effortlessly, deliver a significant public talk with confidence. To me, there is no area of our lives that the voice does not support bettering. I think of each person's voice as its own symbolic "big bang", a fortifying resource that sets into perpetual, expansive motion our greatest potential. My professional work with vocal expression also comprises my 3 decades experience of writing lyrical songs, novels, and volumes of poetry. I am a voice researcher, ghost-writer, and avid illustrator commissioned worldwide. I hold a master's degree from The Berklee College of Music in Performance with a focus on Holistic Practice and Productivity, was the elected resident musical artist of both Bermuda and Denmark, and have also been a YTA-certified yoga educator for more than 20 years. In working with thousands of voices, I’ve come to understand the voice as the “master cleaner”, purifying and activating the movement of life within us. While I teach "vocal" work, the voice is a vehicle for my greatest offering, to truly provide others with clear paths for self-care and joyous, self-realized lives. You may wonder, "is voice-work for me?" Working with your voice, no matter how you vocally identify yourself, is like physical exercise, or practicing good oral hygiene, it's truly a basic form of self-care. I've regularly coached non-singing individuals, couples and mastermind groups, using what I call "musical thinking" to help decode out-of-date habitual thinking and create space for inviting harmonious innovation and a pleasure-filled life. I'm happy to provide you with a short phone/video consultation to hear more about your unique vocal interest and to explore how we may work together. I design programs for individuals, groups, institutions, companies, theaters, yoga studios and more. Additionally, I have a teacher training program and an e-course (the latter which you can purchase on this site). I work virtually, individually and in groups all over the world, and in-person where I am based in Manhattan, NYC. I'm honored to be here as a guide to help you empower your most joyous vocal expression. |
