You no longer have to suffer through voice challenges alone. I’m here to help. Let’s talk.

 

I’ve been a singer and voice instructor for 30+ years, and in that time have honed my intuitive sense about what is needed to help each individual that God brings to me. 

I earned a doctoral degree from Indiana University, with emphasis in Vocal Pedagogy and Speech Pathology. My company, Solid Vocal Foundation, is built on the principles of good vocal technique. In my work with private clients, I use my knowledge, awareness, and experience to help fix “cracks” that threaten the foundational habits of good vocal health and technique. 

My genius work in this life is to help people who are struggling with voice problems due to illness, injury, or changes over time. I believe that your voice is as distinctive as your fingerprint; therefore, each solution must fit the unique challenges of each singer.  I teach my clients cool, new ways to use their voices, which includes showing them how to use their speaking voices to speak better and their singing voices to sing better.

Often, I find what truly needs mending are hurting voices and broken spirits. I believe the two are often connected, especially in women.

I’ve witnessed firsthand the power that comes from of uniting your heart, mind, and voice. It truly strengthens your voice and changes your life.

I love being a catalyst in helping people become their best selves. It is an honor and a calling from God that I don’t take lightly. I consider my time with each client deeply personal, sacred time. I have the privilege of helping my clients unite their hearts and voices, to open up their spirits and share their gifts with the world.

I’d be honored to help you, too.
