I am an holistic voice coach, singer and healer, based in South Wales. I offer one to one voice training in Bristol, singing and voice care workshops across the UK and healing treatments in South Wales. 

I love to learn and I incorporate all of this learning into my work. So, if this website seems to demonstrate many strands, or go off on tangents, then it is for good purpose, all to one aim, rather than scattered ideas.

My aim is to help, and to heal. In all of my work, I try to take an holistic approach. When I am presenting a voice workshop, I am also addressing the general health and well-being, body, mind and soul. When I am giving a 1-1 vocal lesson, I am looking at the whole person and examining what will bring out the best singing/speaking voice – traditional vocal exercises, Estill method, acting techniques, natural (healing), or imagination work.

I discovered my love for music at an early age. I won many a “Brownie” badge for renditions of Mary Poppins! I wrote my first song at the age of 9, and have continued to write since. Much of my material in my singing workshops is original.

I started my journey as a therapist later in life in 2002, when I trained in various holistic therapies, going on to focus on hands on healing. I have since developed these healing abilities and added baby massage in 2010.

My training and experience has been in many different forms. I have a BA Hons in Theatre, Film and TV, a PGCE in Secondary Drama, and various forms of training in voice and vocal direction. I have also completed Estill training in London, worked with Richard Armstrong (director) in Canada and Matthew Bailey in Cardiff, amongst others.

As a singer/songwriter I have worked professionally in a variety of venues across the UK and Canada since 1998. I have ventured into jazz in recent years, but primarily I am a folk/acoustic singer/songwriter, sometimes described as a purist. My inspirations include Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Eddi Reader, Bonnie Raitt and Beth Nielsen Chapman. I can be booked as a solo performer or with guitarist/pianist for special occasions.
