Private or group consultation & training in Vocal and Body Awareness to improve public speaking skills, artistic presentation and personal vocal issues.

  • Addressing issues of vocal trauma

  • Improving efficiency & communication between performing artists on productions

  • Preparing students for college interviews

  • Training teachers and professors on lecturing skills

  • Improving performance abilities for theater artists and singers

  • Identifying and breaking bad nervous habits when speaking

  • Training and altering voice afflictions to become a more impactful speaker

  • Practicing English pronunciation for people with strong first-language accents

Private Counseling

In this global economy, language difficulties and cultural skills are rarely addressed in the workplace. I have found that this work is not only in demand, but is necessary to improve communications abilities among globally situated companies and universities.

I help clients through one on one counseling- in person and via zoom. I offer insight into individual vocal issues and body habits that can block communication. Many of these issues are based on previous trauma. Through somatic awareness practices and talk therapy, I can help identify and correct these blocks and offer training towards becoming confident and secure in oneself and more impactful in interpersonal and in presentational communication skills.
