I started my coaching method with one goal in mind

To help people find their authentic voice, and sing with complete freedom and joy — something that took me decades to find.

I studied music from the age of four, training in harmonies and singing popular repertoire in various languages. In my adolescence, I turned my gaze to the world of opera and classical music.

The classical years

I completed all of my Royal Conservatory of Music studies with high grades and high hopes. I went on to study voice at Marianopolis College in Montreal, deeply immersed in solo opera performance, duets, and classical choral works.

But something wasn’t right. I was struggling with singing through high notes, navigating the passaggio, and finding real musical expression beneath the technical demands. My voice felt fragile, and I felt disconnected from it.

Then I met my vocal coach at McGill — a PhD in Voice who changed everything. She told me I wasn’t singing in a sustainable way, and would need to deconstruct and reconstruct my voice if I wanted it to work for me in the long run.

The turning point

I was devastated. The journey that followed was long, difficult, and deeply personal. I dealt with imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, and vocal issues that shook my identity as a singer. My self-esteem, which had been so intimately connected to being a high achiever in music, was wrecked.

But I also found an unlikely ally — a science major friend who met me in the basement practice rooms and coaxed me toward expression over perfection. Those afternoons became the opening I needed.

Eventually, I realised I was not on the right path in the opera world. Being a singer had always been my dream, but I already was a singer. I just needed to remember that.

So I said goodbye to musical academia

I joined a band, wrote and recorded songs, and travelled the world with a ukulele as my carry-on. I played formal gigs, solo hotel lobby pianos, living room jams, open mics, weddings, and sang alone in my bedroom. I began to compose, to create, to become what I already was and always had been: a singer and a musician.

Somewhere in the pain and the letting go, the seed that had been planted by my former teacher started to grow. The fundamentals of singing well and overcoming bad technique became imbibed in my voice, as I detached from perfectionism and embraced music as an art.

I started songwriting and covering music in my own unique way, and slowly found the joy in music that had been there since I was a little girl, yearning to sing to the world.

I understood now, that finding your authentic voice is not about understanding everything, but about subtracting what is blocking you: emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

From this journey, a method emerged

Once I had found my own voice, I wanted to help others do the same. So I started to teach.

I taught children who had never touched a piano. Adults who wanted to learn from scratch. Adolescents who wanted to sound like Billie Eilish. But the students who were most drawn to my method were those who struggled with their voices and needed a guiding light.

Today, I specialise in vocal coaching for adults who experience issues with their voice that they can’t quite fix on their own. I help people find and sing with their authentic voice in the same way that I found mine.

My approach

Gentle, holistic, personal, methodical, supportive, and proven. My coaching comes from somebody who knows her own voice inside out after experiencing so many obstacles, and who has figured out a coherent way to transmit that knowledge to others in a way they can really understand and see changes with.

I recognise that singing is a process that cannot be rushed and that every journey is deeply personal and unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to the voice — only the patient, careful work of uncovering what is already there.

An indie artist working on my solo album, I also play piano and compose music. I’ve performed across venues and circumstances spanning decades. Every experience has fed back into the way I coach.
