The voice in your heart never left.

Let's bring it back to life.

After years of shaping my voice to fit the mold of a professional opera singer, I lost touch with my own artistry. I had devoted my life to music — studying voice performance and music therapy, performing on stages, teaching voice, piano, and guitar — but somewhere between chasing perfection and seeking approval, I stopped singing for myself.

Eventually, I stopped singing altogether.

I buried my gifts and tried to move on. But the ache of holding it in became too heavy. And when I lost my dad to cancer, my voice felt like it disappeared completely. In the silence that followed, I discovered something I had forgotten:

Singing isn’t about proving anything.
It’s about presence. It’s about healing. It’s about coming home.

As I grieved, I returned to music — not as a performance, but as a prayer.  I sang in caves, on forest trails, beside campfires, in quiet corners of the world.  I opened my voice in nature, on trains, in sacred spaces.  I let the sound move through me. And slowly, I began to feel whole again.

I started writing my own songs — medicine songs, healing songs, truth-telling songs.  And little by little, I fell in love with singing again. On my own terms.

Since then, I’ve shared my voice in retreats, sound healing sessions, singing circles, yoga classes, creative community events — and now, through my podcast Reawaken Your Voice.

And yes, I’m finally recording the songs that carried me through it all.

There's always been a song in my heart

Listen to my story here

even in the quiet seasons...

I created reawaken your voice to guide others through this same journey.

Whether you’re a former singer who has set your voice aside or an aspiring singer who has never felt "good enough" to begin... Whether you've gone quiet for years or are just now starting to feel the call...I'm here to help you return to the voice that's been waiting for you all along.

You don't need more critique, pressure, or perfectionism.  You need a space to feel safe enough to open again ~ to reconnect with your sound, your story, your soul.  Inside this space, we'll explore holistic, soulful, and deeply creative vocal practices designed to help you:

Heal your relationship with your voice ~ unravel fear, shame, and self-doubt rooted in years of silence, judgment, or burnout.

Unlock your sound and artistic identity ~ discover your voice as it truly is, not as it "should" be, and let your unique style emerge.

Rebuild confidence and reclaim creative flow ~ learn to trust your voice again, express yourself fully, and reignite your love of singing.

Sing again ~ from the heart, with your whole self.  Not to impress. Not to perform. But to feel free, alive, and at home in your sound.

My name is

This isn't traditional voice training. This is creative reclamation.

If part of you is still longing to express what's been buried...

If your voice has gone quiet but your music never left....

If you're tired of holding back and you're ready to reawaken the dormant parts of yourself aching for a revival ~

Welcome home.

i help people return to the voice they thought they had lost.
