MY STORY
On a personal note, the work has taken me from a painfully shy child to a confident speaker, performer, workshop leader and teacher.
I have been working with voice as a means of expression, healing, and growth for over 35 years. I originally trained as a drama therapist but quickly became interested in the links between voice and emotion, sound vibrations and energy. After further study with voice expert Stuart Pearce I continued to develop my ideas around the corrollation between resonant sound and the energy centres linked to the ancient chakra system. This then became the cornerstone of my work which has continued to develop and now embraces movement and visual imagery. I work with both individuals and groups and find whoever takes part in the work finds it hugely liberating , and full of insights. This applies to beginners as well as professional singers, actors and performing arts students.
THE WORK
The basis of the work lies in directing the vibrational energy of the voice into the seven major energy centres (chakras) of the body. As each represents a stage of development, resonating the sound in this way can release patterns from the past and create new energetic pathways to benefit the present and form the basis of a more expansive and creative future.
I have developed a series of sound cycles which are designed to greatly help this process, using dynamic posture. movement and imagery in a unique way. There are no aesthetics involved. The focus is on feeling the voice rather than listening to it and judging it, on creating space for it to resonate more deeply and with less effort. People report feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after a session or workshop often with new insights and a sense of reconnection with their core self.

The work is suitable for everyone, not just professionals and crosses all barriers of age, levels of fitness and core beliefs. Sounding together is one of life's most profound experiences as it connects us to one another at a deep level. It also connects us to our authentic selves and to source, whatever that means for you.
