My offerings are specialised in gentle, mindful practices and I welcome students of all abilities from novice to professional, including people with additional needs, PMLD, life-limiting or chronic illnesses. I work with all ages (including 5 - 80) either online or in-person at an intersection of psychology, voice coaching, singing teaching and music education.
Professional Voice Coaching
I provide professional voice coaching for actors, singers and voice artists. This coaching includes all aspects of storytelling and interpretation through voice work, including textual analysis, sound creation, voice psychology, vocal relation, vocal health and agility.
I also provide support for examination entries and auditions. I work with examiners who are dedicated to putting students at ease and are experienced with particularly nervous students. My students have achieved excellent exam results, with a 100% pass rate throughout the past twenty years. Former students have worked with the BBC, in the West End, and gained entry into SLP College, Italia Conti, Bird College, UCL, East 15, Oxford, and many others.

Voice Care for All Ages
I am passionate about high-quality voice care, throughout all stages of life, and for all genders. I was a member of the first cohort to qualify as a Vocal Health First Aider. This enabled me to have the practical skills required to spot a range of vocal dysfunction and imbalance, together with keeping up to date with the very latest thinking in vocal health.
I am deeply committed to the principles of vocal health and as such, I am an associate member of Vocal Health Education and the Voice Care Centre Referral Network, a large multidisciplinary team for vocal health. This ensures my students and clients are looked after within the highest of standards.
Performance
Performance Experience
I hold a diploma in professional performance and have performed at a wide variety of venues over the past 25 years, including theatres, cathedrals, wedding ceremonies, functions and fundraisers. I sing a variety of genres and specialise in Jazz and Blues.
I also regularly sing for the dementia community.
Weddings
I always feel very honoured to be able to help a couple celebrate their special day. I strive to make the performance reflect who you are as a couple and as such I am happy to arrange music that you desire wherever possible. I can also offer a recommended list of suggestions for wedding music.I understand how important a wedding day is for a couple and therefore I always include one or more consultations before the big day to go through the music and ensure everyone is happy with the final performance plans.
