I’ve trained singers for nearly two decades and I love it!

My 1:1 singing lessons and training progams include working with clients of all levels and genres to help them achieve their vocal and performance goals.

I’ve coached major label and indie recording artists for tours and festivals including the band Missio. Throughout my career, I've coached singers for Broadway, film/tv and commercial auditions. Recently, I've worked with Eshan Sobti and Raymond Salgado who went on to be finalists on Canada’s Got Talent.

In collaboration with my local voice clinic (Surrey Voice Clinic) it's been an honour to be an ongoing part of a voice care team, supporting local singers post injury in recovery and helping them return to the stage safely.

My work extends into film/tv and the music industry, providing singing preparation and vocal support for performers on set and in the recording studio.

I’ve worked with numerous incredible actors and performers, including Olivia Munn, Emily Bett Rickards, Kylie Rogers, Alexia Fast, Taron Egerton (Sing 3, Thriller, and most recently on set for Apple TV’s Smoke).

I’ve studied and trained as a singer for over 30 years. As a vocalist, musician and performer myself, I know what it's like to be in the performing arts world.

I am a graduate of the UBC School of Music and hold a Level 5 Mentor Instructor Certificate from the Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA). I earned my Speech Level Singing Certification and studied that method for more than 15 years. I also hold a Vocal Health First Aid Level 2 Qualification (Vocal Health UK.)

I’ve had the privilege of working with and consulting with some of the world’s leading voice experts, including Seth Riggs, Greg Enriquez, Raab Stevenson, Wendy Parr, Mindy Pack, and Spencer Welch.

Throughout my career, I continue to pursue professional development courses and attend voice conferences.

My approach is warm, practical, evidence based and results driven, designed to help every singer find strength, confidence, and artistry in their voice! 

Singing should feel balanced, powerful and expressive.

The vocal technique that I teach is based on the founding principles of vocal technique – bel canto which means “beautiful singing” –  adapted for modern day contemporary singers

Training in this technique gives the singer, no matter the style, access to all dynamics, with tonal clarity and flexibility. Also, training in this technique helps improve a singer’s range, endurance, stamina, breath management, resonance, vocal strength and quality across all styles of music without fatigue or damage to the voice.
