Do you ever feel a longing to express your true self, to let your voice flow freely without the weight of self-doubt?🎶I know I have, and I want to share a bit of my journey with you. Maybe it will resonate.🌟

Having grown up in London, I felt quite shut down and inhibited, as there was a lot of judgment and peer pressure from my social world while in my teens.

I was so self-conscious I could barely say anything without worrying about whether it would be seen as cool or entertaining. I certainly couldn't just be myself or express myself in a flowing, easy-going way.

Then, while in my 20's I had the opportunity to sing in lots of different ways -

~ in singing workshops at festivals;

~ joining in with protest chants at environmental actions where people were expressing their beliefs;

~ learning folk songs round campfires.

The culture was all about being authentic, being natural, being ourselves and I took to it like a duck to water! It was very freeing.

Then I did a 2-year training in community music and holistic voice, which was incredibly supportive and gave me a real look under the bonnet of what's there in your singing voice.🚀

The whole holistic side of it was about how singing is so closely connected to your emotions. Our voice reveals our emotions and helps us discover them too.🌈

Learning how to use our voice in new ways is literally a journey of opening to oneself, and it does require courage. I just love this emotional-spiritual aspect of singing; it's part of what makes me passionate about singing.💖

This journey of mine through organic, permission-giving settings in my 20's and then detailed, structured training in my 30's completely changed my relationship with myself and my voice.

I gradually felt my true self and my inner spark coming through.✨

It's also what brings me such pleasure in helping others. I can help people release inhibitions, let go of self-doubt, trust themselves to sing, believe in themselves, and 'find their voice' in more ways than one.

So now I get to express myself fully as a person, through speech and singing, and help others do the same.🎤

It doesn’t matter where you’re starting from; it’s the journey of opening up and moving forward that’s so joyful and rewarding.🎵

I hope you feel the energy of support from me, encouraging you to follow this journey wherever it leads you, even if it might be a little nerve-racking at times!
