Vocal Self-Care. This program was born out of years of searching for, and finding my vocal freedom. Although I had been singing since childhood, I always struggled with very subtle and profound blocks. Years of formal vocal training did not fully release me from what I can describe as tiny insidious physical tensions that appeared in my throat and all over my body every time I sang. I recognized my music, body, mind and voice were not fully integrated.

It wasn’t until I began to improvise at a Music for People workshop that I realized that these microtensions were the embodiment of my own self doubt. Being in an accepting environment where I could experiment without worrying about judgement allowed me to quiet my mind and open my ears. I felt the tensions in my body disappear and found myself on the path toward deep musical/vocal self-trust. This process has touched all aspects of my work and life, which continues to become more fulfilling as each day passes.
