Vocal Coaching
Is something holding you back from singing the way you want to? You may be:
- Struggling to sing with confidence in performance
- Feeling tense or disconnected from your voice
- Seeking vocal facility and technical consistency
- Navigating fach transitions
- Training in high-stress environments
- Creating your own unique career path
- Seeking a more whole-person approach to classical voice training
- Not progressing, even with regular practice or lessons
I work with classical singers—from undergraduate voice majors and conservatory students to dedicated adult singers and emerging professionals—who want more than technical proficiency. They want to understand their instrument, embody their voice more fully, and develop the freedom, resilience, and self-trust to sing at their highest level.
The voice is not separate from the person.
Healthy classical singing is about far more than mechanics. Your voice is influenced by your breath, body, nervous system, attention, emotions, habits, and beliefs—as well as by the technical and musical choices you make.
My approach brings these elements into the studio together. The goal is not to replace excellent vocal technique, but to create the internal conditions that allow healthy technique to become accessible, consistent, and expressive.
How does your body respond when you approach a high note? What happens to your breath when you feel watched or evaluated? What patterns emerge when you are under pressure? Where are you holding effort that isn't serving the voice? What beliefs about perfection, performance, or your own abilities might be influencing the way you use your instrument?
These questions can be as important to sustainable vocal development as exercises and repertoire.
A different kind of training environment
Classical training can be extraordinarily demanding. Singers are often asked to perform under intense scrutiny while simultaneously managing technical complexity, musical interpretation, competition, auditions, and the expectations they place on themselves.
My studio is a space to develop technical excellence without losing connection to yourself in the process. I offer lessons that emphasize curiosity over judgment, awareness over force, and sustainable growth over pushing through at all costs.
Lessons may include vocal technique, repertoire, audition preparation, performance practice, body awareness, breath and movement, performance preparation, and practice strategies that support vocal development both in and out of the practice room.
Most importantly, I want you to become increasingly able to listen to your own instrument, understand your own patterns, and trust your own voice.
Let's work together to help your voice—and the whole person behind it—thrive.
Authentic musicians create authentic music.
My Vocal Journey
I sang all my life, but I began my vocal training as a young singer in college. My naïveté led me to place enormous trust in my teachers—often at the expense of trusting myself. I was often given repertoire beyond my technical ability, and while I craved the artistry, I didn’t yet have the training or awareness of what optimal vocal performance truly requires. I wanted so badly to succeed as a singer that I tried to mold myself into what others expected of me, continuing to ignore my own instincts and needs in the process.
Years of working with multiple instructors—some helpful, others (too many) technically and even psychologically harmful—combined with unresolved trauma and a profound disconnection from my body, left my voice stagnant. I would practice for hours each day and still feel no meaningful progress, trapped in a cycle of effort without results. Despite my dedication, chronic stress and a disconnected relationship with my body made consistent technical progress feel impossible. It wasn’t until I did the inner work, sought education in psychology, yoga, health coaching, and related fields, and finally found the right teacher that I began to grow—not just as a singer, but as an artist.
This journey led me to become a classical voice teacher who understands the interconnectedness of our voice and our being. I know what it’s like to sing from a place of disconnection, to feel lost in the process, and to try to heal alone. All singers—regardless of background or life experience—deserve more than technical instruction; they need teachers who understand the voice as an extension of the whole self. I strive to be the kind of teacher I once needed: one who meets the singer and voice with empathy, expertise, and a deep respect for the vulnerability singing requires. The whole of our lived experience shapes our artistry, and vocal instruction becomes even more impactful when it is approached with the sensitivity and understanding of trauma and nervous system regulation—because you never know the full story each student brings to the studio.
If you’re ready to cultivate a sustainable, expressive voice rooted in both technical freedom and authentic artistry, I’d be honored to support your journey.
FAQ
HOW DO LESSONS WORK?
Voice lessons are offered weekly on a recurring day and time, but with flexible content - meaning we discuss and work on whatever you need! Students can choose to work on technical development, repertoire or diction coaching, audition preparation, breathwork, career navigation, and other life coaching elements that support our best self and instrument.
Clients also have full access to support via text between lessons and flexibility to add more time with single sessions, if needed.
WHY DO I NEED ORIGINAL SOUND ON ZOOM, AND HOW DO I GET THAT TO WORK?
It is important to turn on the original sound (for musicians) function on Zoom because without that particular setting engaged, the program will condense the audio, making the sound less clear. Especially for music-related services, original sound is required so certain frequencies (high and low) are not cut out. You may find simple instructions on how to enable original sound here on a desktop or mobile app app, and keep in mind you must be logged in to your Zoom account to enable original sound.

Subscriptions include 4 sessions per calendar month for $250. Single lessons can be added on at a discounted rate of $50 per lesson. Payments are accepted via Stripe, Wise, Venmo, and cash prior to service.
