Healing the soul’s voice to joyfully express its divine purpose.

Your soul’s voice is the full expression of your essence – as both human and divine – in service of your soul’s purpose. It is your own sound healer, and a healer of others. 

I help you shift and heal old patterns that are in your way, harmonize your energies and frequencies, find and use your true voice, claim your earned wisdom, and clarify your purpose, so you can joyfully move into the next phase of your life. 

I’m passionate about transforming our culture into one of true partnership between men and women, so we can all be in partnership with our planet. Healing the soul’s voice is a conduit for healing of self, others and planet, so we can create that partnership. We each contribute our own, unique voice to create the change we need.

I was a professional opera singer and voice teacher. I LOVED it. I thought I had found my true calling. Then a voice injury ended my career. A couple of years later, my marriage broke up. (And yes, they were connected.) It was one of the most devastating times in my life. But that dark night led to gold. My path back to a healthy voice has taken me on a journey to reclaim my whole self, deepen my healing, my connection to Spirit, and move into MY higher life’s purpose.

I discovered there is profound healing and transformation in how you use your voice. Your speaking voice is a forgotten and underutilized key to wholeness, and your connection to Spirit.

I’ll help you:

• Uncover your dynamic, compelling soul’s voice that fully expresses all of who you are.
• Clear and heal your energy systems to support your soul’s voice and your overall health and well-being.
• Boost your energy and develop stronger boundaries – physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual.
• Release the old stories, both cultural and personal, that no longer serve.
• Increase your connection to Spirit, and your ability to bring through spiritual guidance.
• Align and harmonize your vibrations.
• Connect with and learn to use your authentic power with integrity.
• Vibrantly value yourself and claim your earned wisdom.
• Claim the power of your authentic voice as a sound healer for yourself and others.
• Speak with power and confidence from a clear understanding of your wholeness and value.
• Clarify your soul’s purpose for the next phase of your life.

My Story

I’ve always gone my own way and created my own path in life, following an inner voice that has led me on a truly interesting journey. I’ve been doing personal & spiritual growth work since my 20’s. I’ve reinvented myself time and time again, always learning and growing, always looking for ways to become more truly myself and express my gifts in the world. I’ve always been an artist and a teacher. My fundamental desire in my work has been to be of service.

I grew up in New England in a big and boisterous family. I graduated from Harvard University cum laude in 1977.  After college, I danced professionally (modern dance) in New York City for almost a decade, and got my Massage Therapist degree from The Swedish Institute in 1984.  In 1987 I moved 3,000 miles across the country to California. I re-built my massage therapy practice, taught yoga, married and had 2 wonderful boys. I took classical voice lessons, and began singing professionally, performing principal roles in regional opera companies, and as a soloist with area symphonies and ensembles.

To me, my singing voice was the voice of my soul, and my most direct connection with the divine. In performing and teaching singing, I thought I had finally found the work and artistic expression that Spirit intended for me.  When my vocal injury ended my professional career, I felt like I had lost an essential part of myself.

Then my marriage fell apart, too. Recovering my singing voice took a back seat while my divorce wound its way through to an eventually positive conclusion. Truthfully, my divorce was a necessary part of healing my voice – AND reclaiming my authentic SPEAKING voice, and my true voice in the world.

My voice – my soul’s essence – was not valued in my marriage. Women’s voices – our soul’s essences – are not valued in our culture. It’s often very difficult for us to speak up, speak out, and truly be heard and understood.

I didn’t go the traditional medical route to get my singing voice back. I again followed my own path, which turned out to be a blessing.

It took me some years to realize that I actually couldn’t HEAR that I wasn’t singing on pitch in a certain part of my range. I could hear if my students were off pitch, or if my piano was out of tune. Why couldn’t I hear myself? My search for answers led me to the work of Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis, who developed a method of retraining the ear and brain with specially engineered and filtered music and ear/voice training. I did my own listening and ear/voice training in 2008 and became a Certified Provider-BC of The Listening Program®, an Associate Practitioner of Integrated Listening Systems in 2009, and a Certified Practitioner of Learning Ears®, an ear/voice training program that integrates with The Listening Program®.

I took the Estill Voice Training twice (a 5-day intensive), first for my own voice recovery, then again to improve my understanding for teaching. Estill has given me a working understanding of the anatomy & physiology of the voice, and techniques to use in teaching voice in many styles while keeping your voice healthy. Estill techniques are just as fabulous for the speaking voice as the singing voice, and led me into working with speakers as well as singers.

The next piece in my recovery was re-educating the muscles of my voice to release the tensions and bad habits I had developed from trying to MAKE my voice work when it couldn’t.  This included lots of hands-on, gentle massage techniques, along with stretches & exercises to get everything to coordinate and work freely. This was an “Oh, DUH!” experience for me as a bodyworker.  Of course! My body is my instrument!  I now use bodywork in combination with voice work during in-person sessions. Online clients also get the benefit of my specialty knowledge, though I show you how to do the hands-on work on yourself.

I have also learned to speak up and speak out on my own behalf from a much more grounded, aligned place, and to claim my speaking voice as the voice of my soul. I’ve learned to have the tough conversations with more grace and vulnerability.

The next piece was to fully reconnect with my spiritual self, and develop the intuitive, clairvoyant, channeling and energy healing abilities I’ve always had, but suppressed for a long time as too “woo woo.” I am a Level 4 Dove Oracle Priestess, certified by the Seven Sisters Mystery School. It has been a great gift to me personally to be able to connect with my Spirit guides and get direct information. I now use Spirit guidance in sessions with clients.

I’ve also added Biofield Tuning® to my modalities, and in this work, I get to integrate and use all of my skills and abilities. Many clients describe Biofield Tuning® as “the missing piece” in their healing. I use audible sound in your biofield (your energy field) to clear blocks, reclaim stuck energies, depattern old stories that don’t serve, and help you become more grounded, coherent, healthy and alive.

The whole years-long process has been an incredible journey of listening, learning and transformation. I’ve come home to my true self with more depth, compassion and integrity. I have more ability to express that true self through my voice, and I have a passion for helping others to do the same. And I understand that this wisdom journey doesn’t end. It’s lifelong.

Now, all my training in anatomy, bodywork, voice, yoga, listening and ear/voice training programs, Estill, as an Oracle Priestess, and in Biofield Tuning®, along with my years of performance experience in dance and singing, and my coaching experience have come together in my programs and individual sessions.

If you would like to talk with me about how I can support you to heal your soul’s voice – bringing all of you, your embodied human self and your divine self, into full authentic expression and deep healing, please book a complimentary 30-minute Wisdom Activation Session.

I’ll ask about what challenges you’re facing right now, where you’d like to be, and what may be holding you back. Then we’ll talk about the possibilities for working together.
