Here's my story
I was born to sing. Aged two, I would stop people in the street and make them listen to me sing - whether they wanted to or not...
I was so lucky to find I could use music to make a living and I worked as a classical singer, voice teacher and choral conductor. But I wanted to understand more about how I and my students often went to perform but were scuppered by nerves or not feeling good enough.
I LOVE to teach. I’ve been teaching people my whole life.
When I discovered Hypnotherapy everything changed. Now I was able to give the performances I knew I could. I realised I had suffered from imposter syndrome - and I knew now how to rid myself of that.
By working in hypnotherapy I discovered so many people who told me they would love to sing but had been discouraged or didn't feel good enough - and I champion those people as well because I believe everyone is invited to the singing party!
In the beginning I was just helping established singers but the more conversations I had I realised too many people were not singing who wanted to.
As I helped more singers achieve fearlessness on stage, I kept hearing sad stories of people who would love to sing but didn't.
One particular woman told me after winning a singing lesson with me in a competition that
"I always thought singing was a party that I was not invited to"
So here is my invitation to YOU - You are ALL invited to join MY singing party
I'm on a mission...
I want everyone and anyone who wants to sing to know that they can.
