Vocal Coaching
Is something holding you back from singing the way you want to? You may be:
- Battling performance anxiety
- Feeling tense or disconnected from your voice
- Not progressing, even with regular practice or lessons
- Second-guessing your abilities and expression
These are common experiences—and they’re not a reflection of your talent.
I work with classical singers—from beginners to emerging professionals— who want to deepen their connection with their voice and instrument. Recognizing the vital role of the nervous system in voice and performance, my integrative approach helps singers unlock their full potential by strengthening both technique and emotional well-being. Grounded in the Bel Canto tradition and shaped by my experience as a performer and educator, my coaching offers a supportive space to explore your unique voice. With a focus on healthy technique and musical expression, I help singers develop a sustainable instrument and perform with confidence and authenticity.
My approach is trauma-informed, shaped by studies in nervous system regulation and years of experience supporting singers recovering from high-pressure or stressful training environments. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work together to find your voice.
Why Trauma-Informed Matters
Trauma-informed vocal coaching = strong technique + nervous system awareness + embodiment of your artistic spirit + a safe, supportive space to grow.
Trauma-informed vocal coaching recognizes the singer as a whole person, as the body, mind, and voice are deeply connected. Unlike traditional methods focused solely on technique, this approach integrates body awareness, emotional well-being, and personal expression to support authentic, sustainable performance. Drawing from holistic wellness practices and mindfulness, I create a safe, student-centered space where singers can build resilience, develop self-trust, and grow both technically and artistically.
Given the physical and emotional demands placed on singers, addressing these interconnected aspects of self-care is key to maintaining vocal health, reducing anxiety, and sustaining creative growth. Trauma-informed coaching offers a vital foundation that supports long-term resilience and empowers singers to thrive both technically and artistically throughout their careers.
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, operating from a dysregulated system disrupted any semblance of progress, and I lacked the knowledge or guidance to navigate it safely and effectively. It wasn’t until I did the inner work, sought education in psychology 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 becoming a trauma-informed vocal coach. 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 because we are more than just our instrument. 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 it’s time vocal instruction 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.
