Reduce stress and heal through singing.

Embodied Voice, Vocal Tips

In a world where there is a lot of negative energy (this is being written during covid 19 pandemic), a lot of people are looking outside of themselves to find some healing from the stress levels they’re feeling in within.

What if I told you could reduce stress and heal yourself through singing?

My voice coaching clients often mention how healed they feel after their vocal lessons with me, and I too have felt the shifts in my own emotional state after a good long sing session.

Singing is a self soothing and self healing way that you can overcome the stresses in your life, and maybe heal some past vocal wounds.

This rings true for singers AND folks who don’t identify as singers, but have full use of their voices.
