Expressive Voices
Expressive Voices was born from the research and exploration of the Human Voice. It includes all the elements that are part of who we are, such as body, breath, mind, and spirit. Our goal is to support freeing one’s true and full expression.
Growing up, we learn to compromise our expression – blocking energy flow in our bodies, avoiding certain emotions, and limiting our movement. This influences our creativity, our happiness, and our fulfillment in life.
Acknowledging the Voice as a carrier of expression and knowing that the body registers every experience, whether loud or quiet, we know that one’s experiences are also registered in the Voice.
Working with the Voice and the Body, we can find freedom from these self-imposed blockages on an emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual level.
This is the journey I want to support you on!

Singer | Coach
My path – which is also my deep wish – is for everyone to find their authentic Voice, their genuine expression. That every Voice feels worthy of being listened to, that everyone feels worthy of being seen.
I work with artists who want to connect to a more profound truth inside and be able to express it; with communicators who wish to find the power of presence and connect it with the quality of the Voice; with everyone who feels there’s more inside that wants to come out and be expressed; and all those who wish to find their power through their Voice – I am here ready to support you on your journey.
I am very grateful for how the Voice has become part of my Life. It has been my companion, my mirror – allowing me to become aware of some of my limitations and also to break free from them.
While I continue my exploration and research, it has become clear that I want to share the tools and insight that the years of dedication to this work have brought me.
I am a Voice Coach, a Singing Teacher, an NLP Coach, a Dancer, a Performer, an in-training Psychotherapist, and a Reiki Master, and I am putting myself at your service.
Everyone has their uniqueness. And own unique Voice. I am here to help you find yours.
Voice Sessions
Private Sessions
​
Voice sessions are for anyone looking to explore and get in contact with the full potential of their Voice and expression. The sessions are designed and adapted to suit you, independent of the area and goals, from those wanting to increase their self-knowledge, awareness, and expression to singers, actors, teachers, and presenters.
​
Whether you want to connect to the potential of your expression, work on an artistic project, get in contact with your creativity, improve your vocal and physical presence or find the best version of yourself in presentations, I can help you.
​
In the first session, we will assess the challenges, discuss your goals and wishes, and define a starting point for the work. ​During the sessions, we will use various techniques depending on what is best at a given moment. These techniques can include singing and speaking techniques, imaginary games, and archetypal images that allow us to visit new places and resonances. The sessions will allow you to gain more awareness and expand your Voice beyond its habitual limits. We will also explore different elements of the Voice, such as new registers, colors, expressions, and emotions; and find more freedom in speech elements like tempo, pitch, volume, and timbre.
​
In-person sessions take place in my Voice Studio in Lochristi. Online sessions are also possible.
​
Workshops
​
Workshops take place in a group environment. During the workshops, we will also have time dedicated to bodywork to open spaces for the Voice and its resonances.
​
Voice work will include different speech and singing techniques and games, allowing us to benefit from group support as we visit new places and soundscapes.
​
There will be time for group work as well as individual time for each one of the participants.
​
You may be invited to bring a song, a text, or a theme as the basis for the individual work. Depending on the workshop's theme, there may also be Polyphonic/group singing.
​
You can find information about upcoming and past workshops on the Facebook page!
​
The group format is excellent, as we explore and find together. The work of one of the members of the group ripples to the rest of the group. We work together, and we support each other. There are things that one hears in someone's Voice before they listen to it on their own, and that works as a catalyst.
​
Workshops and group sessions are organized occasionally. The best way to stay informed is to get in touch.
