Voice , Embodiment, Identity

I am a singer, vocal coach, and somatic voice guide specializing in embodied voice, presence, and identity.

My work continues where technique reaches its limits. I don’t focus solely on optimizing singing voices, but on how people experience themselves when they become heard. Our voice is deeply intertwined with our sense of self: what we think, feel, and carry with us — consciously or unconsciously — resonates within it. This is reflected in the way we speak, sing, communicate, and remain silent.

I guide people through processes in which control softens, old beliefs transform, limitations are broken, and trust in oneself grows. Self-censorship gives way, expression becomes more authentic and confident, and presence becomes both felt and heard. Singing is not the goal, but a tool: to occupy space, expand, embody emotions, share with others, and cultivate a renewed relationship with oneself and the world.

My foundation is based on professional academic voice training in jazz and popular music, combined with anatomical and physiological knowledge informed by contemporary voice research. This is complemented by breathwork, nervous system practices, and text- and interpretation work from the performing arts. Altogether, my practice encompasses nearly two decades of experience in voice and body work. My instrument is the voice. My field is the body, the nervous system, and the work with energy, presence, authenticity and identity.

I work with people who sense that their voice is the key to unlocking unseen potential within. My approach is personal, precise, and profound. Outside my university teachings, I work with only a few people at a time, as true transformation requires time, space, presence, and personal responsibility in a process of growth. The focus is not solely on vocal performance, but also on opening spaces where people can feel themselves, build trust, and better embody their power and inner knowing.
