Is this class for me?
This class is for you if you were ever told you can’t or shouldn’t sing — or if you’ve ever believed you weren’t a singer. It’s for you if you’ve felt blocked in your vocal expression and longed for more comfort, confidence, and ease when singing alone or with others.
It’s also for you if you want to:
- Learn the basics of healthy vocal technique
- Explore your voice in a judgment-free, supportive group space
- Build confidence and feel more at home in your sound
What will I take away from this class?
- A foundational understanding of vocal technique
- Vocal practices for self-healing and nervous system regulation
- Greater physical ease in your breath and body
- More confidence in speaking your truth and being seen
- A warm, supportive community of fellow singers
- New songs for your song basket to carry and share
What should I bring?
Just a water bottle, comfortable clothing, and an open mind!
