gender affirming voicework
Through music, we will collaboratively explore and play with your voice, accessing and embodying sounds that are affirming to you. We might focus on your speaking voice, your singing voice, or both!
Is this for me?
The short answer - possibly! As research indicates, our voices shift:
as we develop from childhood into adolescence, then through adulthood and into later years in life as older adults
through menstrual cycle rhythms
through the transition of peri/menopause
through hormonal changes within the body
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can impact vocal shifts. You might notice vocal instability, cracks, and register changes if you are receiving HRT to support with the embodiment of your gender, or for symptom management/relief with body changes as you age.
All of the listed experiences can affect your voice, as well as your relationship to your voice, body, gender, and the way that you show up in this world. If you are looking for support with navigating these vocal changes, then this work is for you!
music therapy sessions
A music therapy session molds and shifts depending on the person or people I am working alongside. Several approaches to our work will include one or more of the four main modalities of music therapy: songwriting, improvisation, receptive listening, and/or recreation of music.
Is this for me?
In using music as the avenue for expression, emotional holding, and exploration, we can address any of the following:
grief / bereavement – death of loved one
memory care/support – pre-hospice diagnosis only
symptom management (pain, nausea, treatment effects, etc.)
support with re-learning speech
If you are interested in music therapy, but are not sure if you would benefit, please reach out! I’d love to hear more about what you are looking for, and see what might be the best support for you.
focused music lessons
In focused lessons, we will work on developing and strengthening your musical abilities, skills, artistry, and craft. I am here to support you in your individual goals whether you are just starting to build your knowledge of music, or have been learning and/or training for years!
Is this for me?
For those interested in learning more about music, but specifically not through a music therapy lens, this is for you! Our lessons might include growing your skills with:
Voice lessons
