Vocal Reclamation Coaching

I like to joke that I came out of the womb singing.  “Mamaaaaa!  ooOooh”. I sang at the dinner table, and I sang in the shower and I sang when I didnt even realize I was singing. It was my natural state of being, it was my birthright, and it was how I expressed my heart, my wisdom, my life force.  You couldn’t stop me! That was… until it became a “problem” for others. A coworker complaining to my boss that they couldn’t focus when I was around and singing. Strangers who said I was “showing off”. People who didnt understand, or were envious, or just didnt know how to ask politely for what they needed. And of course  I also received plenty of praise and encouragement, but the negativity became too loud in my head, made it feel absolutely unsafe to continue to sing in public.  I curbed it right there. Singing no longer felt safe and fun for me to do freely and I decided I would only sing when it was “appropriate to do so".

In college, I was able to join the San Francisco State Gospel Choir and it gave me back a sense of belonging and reminded me of the embodied joy possible when harmonizing with other singers. The gospel music itself helped me to get acquainted to what it feels like to have spirit come through you and it was glorious, but it would only happen within the safety of group singing— never alone. After college, I was chosen to be a part of a smaller professional singing group and for years we were honored to share the stage with many big named artists like T-Pain, Josh Groban, Journey. Our unique profile and sound as a group afforded us the opportunity to sing back-up for these and other popular artists. Although this type of thing was exciting and fun, I always felt that there was a purpose more potent for my singing voice. 

In 2022, I made a pilgrimage to Egypt, and came home after 7 days a new person with a new voice. In truth, my vocal range had expanded within the portal of that pilgrimage, and I could feel its potency in a new way, but I didn't know what it could be for. Later that same year, sitting around a tended fire with 30 people on a sacred Mountain,  my voice erupted uncontrollably  into a spontaneous 60 seconds of sound and song. The vibrations that had flown out of me had been viscerally felt by the crowd and left the entire group stunned and silent. And in that brief silence, as I was gasping for air, a red-tailed Hawk called back to me in confirmation and everyone gasped in awe. That was the moment that I discovered that my Voice itself was the medicine. This inspired me to find a training that could help me choose to be the channel and open myself to how Spirit was wanting to use me. 

In 2023 I found The Vocal Resonance Method by Larisa Gosla, and was immediately attracted to this program. As a student, I was taught how to be in deep communion with my sound. I learned tools for allowing my sounding to express what joys or aches my body was holding onto. I remembered that my vocal frequencies held the feminine and masculine codes and that I could create the life I was dreaming of through Manifesting and Magnetizing with song. My body felt more free and alive, and the process was a homecoming back to the unabashed joy I felt singing as a child, before the shame had entered into me. 

In 2024, after just enrolling in the training to become a teacher, my father made the unexpected transition into an ancestor. The medicine of my own sounds was a relief that soothed my heartache, and I found such ease in facilitating my colleagues in the chakra clearings and vocal empowerment that we were all seeking. This training profoundly solidified the newfound relationship I had with my voice and my body and I became passionate about guiding others into the acceptance of their own unique voice and the healing codes it holds for them. Our gutteral impulses, our animal sounds, our angelic melodies, our low shamanic tones, our silly non-sense talk, our screams and yells, and our powerful notes are  ALL untapped medicine waiting to help you Reignite your Radiance!
