The story behind the method
I started 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.
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.
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.
When a flower blooms, it simultaneously falls apart.— My vocal coach at McGill
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 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.
But I 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.
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.
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 became imbibed in my voice, as I detached from perfectionism and embraced music as an art.
I understood now, that finding your authentic voice is not about understanding everything, but about subtracting what is blocking you: emotionally, psychologically, and physically.
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 coaching comes from somebody who knows her own voice inside out after experiencing so many obstacles, and who has found a coherent way to transmit that knowledge.
Voice, body, and emotions are inseparable. I work with the whole person, not just isolated technique.
Singing is a process that cannot be rushed. Every journey is deeply personal, and I meet you where you are.
Built from classical training and decades of real-world experience — a structured path, not random exercises.
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 her solo album, every performance experience feeds back into how I coach.
Clients consistently report breakthroughs they couldn’t achieve with other coaches. The method works.
I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish, and have studied German and Italian phonetics for classical repertoire. I sing in all of these languages and can support singers from various backgrounds.
