VOCAL COACHING & ACTIVATION
Is it time to release the power of your Voice?
To heal the throat chakra and finally speak your truth?
To find that singing voice someone told you you didn’t have?
Voice is Vibration
Voice is vibration and linked to the flow of breath and feeling in your life. When you release your voice, you increase the well-being of body, mind and heart.
Your 1:1 sessions can be focused to support performance, public speaking, teaching and singing or simply more authentic communication in your daily life.
The Four Elements Method
Feel free to come for a class and see if the Four Elements holistic method works for you.
If your vocal development is a major focus, a series of 6-8 classes is advised.
For All Levels
This work is suitable for beginners and professional speakers, actors and singers.
Sylvia is not a classical singing teacher; however, her teaching offers a great base and kick start for your singing voice and a rich refresher for professionals.

A workshop is a great way to start your vocal journey as it gives you a full explanation of how the voice works and the potential that exists in all of us to strengthen and expand our vocal presence. Being in a group allows you to see that you are not alone in your hesitation to speak out and is a large part of the magic of the weekend ; having the space to share your story, be heard and unconditionally supported. The work is deep yet also fun, heart-warming and it is transformational. Sylvia prefers to work with small groups of no more than 10 people, allowing each person to receive the focus they need.
