I help singers liberate their artistic voice & unleash the music inside of them.
Reawaken Your Voice was born from a time in my life when I stopped singing altogether. I remember feeling like I lost a part of myself that I could never get back.
After devoting my life to singing as a professional opera singer and voice teacher, studying music therapy and voice performance, and gathering years of experience performing on stage, I reached a point where I had torn my voice apart with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and performance anxiety until singing just stopped feeling good. I was burned out on performing, entertaining, putting on a show, striving for perfection that didn’t exist. The pressure I was putting on myself became unbearable. My identity and self worth were all tied up in my voice, leaving me feeling strangled, broken, and lost.
And then when I lost my dad to cancer, I felt like my voice died right along with him. I retreated into silence, kept my voice to myself, buried my gifts and hid them away. But as I sank deeper into my grief, God reminded me of why I sang in the first place:
Music is Medicine. Singing is Healing. Sound has a way of moving stuck emotions and giving them a place to go. I remembered that singing is an offering from the heart, not a performance that defines my self worth.
As I followed my heart traveling the world, I began opening my voice while walking in nature, singing in caves, toning in pagodas, harmonizing around campfires, humming with the drone of a train, simply playing with my voice again.
I began to write healing medicine songs that carried me through my grief, brought me back home to myself, healed my relationship with my voice, and helped me open my instrument to its true nature & purpose ~ to heal, to express, to celebrate creativity, and to at least try to make sense of what it is to be human.
As I healed, I found my courage. And as I found my courage, I shared the songs in my heart. And as I liberated my voice from the box I had placed it in, I fell in love with singing all over again.
Since then, I’ve been sharing my voice in all kinds of fun, creative ways, including sound healing sessions, singing circles, yoga classes, creative community events, retreats, and now my podcast, Reawaken Your Voice. Oh ~ and I’m (finally!) recording all the songs I’ve been writing all these years!
Take my hand, and I’ll show you the way out of your head and back to the song in your heart.
If you’re ready to reawaken the dormant parts of yourself that are aching for a creative revival, then welcome home.
Throughout my years as an opera singer, voice teacher, creativity coach, classically trained singer-songwriter, and sound healer, I’ve gathered an abundant treasure trove of holistic voice practices to help you find your voice again as you work up the courage to share it with others.
You’ll receive loving, nurturing support to heal from past experiences, release stuck emotions, and let go of limiting beliefs that hold you back from fully expressing yourself ~ so you can rewrite your singing story once and for all.
I’ll teach you how to create a personal singing practice with nourishing, playful, inspiring vocal exercises that re-ignite your creative expression, open your voice, uncover your unique sound, and develop the full range and potential of your God-given instrument.
You’ll learn to embody confidence as you share your voice powerfully from the heart in a way that feels aligned with who you are becoming as the unique, one-of-a-kind, fully expressed version of you.
My mission is to guide you back home to yourself by transforming your relationship with your voice, reminding you of the song that is yours alone to sing, and inspiring you to breathe life back into it.

“Lainey is amazing at what she does. The angelic presence and majesty she gives while holding space in this way is something she does naturally with such heartfelt joy.
She helped me learn how to ease more into expressing what is beyond words through sound and to open more pathways of expression through my voice.”
