Celestial Voice

I love to perform and teach to others what I know. I have been singing my whole life, since I was a little girl. I'm very intuitive in solving people's vocal issues and getting rapid results to those who wish to improve from any level, age and in any style. Having studied with phenomenal teachers, I have a wealth to pass along. I have a warmth and caring for my students. I like to find out what they want and what they need. Come and study with me and I will show you how your voice, the only instrument made by God, can be easy, beautiful, and fun! I am also a health coach, so till we meet, drink water, water, water!
