I am a song leader, Full Voice coach, childbirth educator, and singer/songwriter in Olympia, Washington. It is my mission to help people find comfort and freedom in their voices. I have received many voice sessions over the years, including from those teaching in a rigid manner. I was most inspired by warm, creative teachers and I aspire to share my collection of vocal insights in a curious and receptive collaboration with my clients. I look at each voice as a unique mystery and I enjoy finding ways to remove vocal barriers, releasing more calm, balance, expression, authenticity/authority, and joy. To keep loving each other and our amazing earth, we all need moments of peace, trust, creativity, self love, and empathy. Our voices offer these gifts.
In addition to being a St. John’s College philosophy graduate, a former Waldorf teacher, and certified in both childbirth and parenting education, I am an empathic and Highly Sensitive Person living with anxiety. I am inspired by storytelling and the power of myth to slowly unveil layers of mystery and bone wisdom. While I often work with groups of women, I respect every voice and enjoy supporting men and gender-nonconforming folks along their journeys.
My singing background is in classical voice studies, including competition singing and professional choirs. I am currently most inspired by the Full Voice method and sharing singing as a tool for soothing, connection, and inspiration. Everyone can benefit from singing, especially in times of stress or transition.
My home includes my husband and three young boys, my garden, and a cup of tea ready for a friend.
