✨ QUESTION: Why did you become a breathwork coach? ✨
A worthy question, with a clear answer.
To stretch more into myself.
I have been a singer for as long as I can remember, and music has my heart and soul. From learning how to play the piano at a young age to playing clarinet in orchestras, and finding my voice in choirs, music was all around me growing up.
As a classically trained pianist and vocalist, I learned discipline; freedom within restraint, versatility, breath control, consistency, stamina, adaptability, grace. As a stage performer and touring musician, add in resilience, self belief, presence. So many tools that informed every part of my journey as a singer and musician - for over 30 years - and now as a facilitator too.
Everything comes back to the breath. As I finished a yin yoga home practice tonight I saw things clearly - we all need the expansion, the release, the power, the strength, and the vulnerability that the breath offers. As I breathed through the poses and felt my body start to respond, I felt open, and a lovely sense of relief.
Breathwork runs throughout everything. From beginning to learn how to train and inhabit my true voice, to building tone and power, trust and reliability, to feeling the joy in creative musicianship and as a professional vocalist, the breath remains at the heart of it.
Feeling fatigued, underpowered and fragile? Breathe.
Feeling so exhilarated, vibrant and gleeful that your heart is beating out of your chest? Breathe.
Feeling so stressed out and burnt out that you are running on empty, and just feel like hiding away? Breathe.
Feeling anxious, scared, exposed, vulnerable, and responsible for giving your best, every time?
Yes, you guessed it. Breathe.
Finding your way with your breathing is always worthwhile, and can be transformational. But above all, it brings you back to yourself. Your presence, your body, your voice.
As a voice led practitioner, I work with all this. And I use my own voice as a guide to help you to find yours.
I’m always up for answering questions, and here to listen, guide and hold space for you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
