Hi! I’m Chelsea…
Artist. Entrepreneur. Vocal Coach. Mentor. Creative Engineer. Pursuer of Truth.
I use the concept of voice as a way to guide you in speaking your truth to cultivate a deeper, more meaningful -and aligned- relationship with yourself and your work.
Sound has been my main medium of personal expression, however, the things I have learned through studying sound TRANSCEND the medium. What I have derived from my study of voice, music, and vibration is that it is just a vehicle for our essence, our identity to come through, and that our voice starts deep within us and is expressed through our everyday actions, our decor, our photographs, our business, our cooking, the way we move, and the way we communicate with others. I believe…
You can transform lives with the sound of who you are.
When I’m talking about "finding your voice", I mean that both metaphorically (creatively expressing yourself), and physiologically (the functional, musculoskeletal portion of the instrument).
These two systems work together and are inseparable in healthy expression of who we are, yet most of us have been separated from that connection.
My goal is to expand the definition of voice to include both aspects and use the term voice as a more holistic part of who we are, so that we can be more of ourselves. Through my specific training in the physiological aspect of the voice, I have had the privilege of making connections between these inner and outer worlds. If anything, voice has been an incredible metaphor to me, that has resulted in physical and emotional transformations I could’ve never imagined heading into this field.
While I worked primarily as a voice, piano and songwriting coach for many years, I noticed that the biggest breakthroughs happened working on the psychological aspects of the voice and personal expression, and that changing the mindset or the mind maps could create tangible changes, without activating the motor skills needed to perform the action.
This led me into a bigger journey of what was holding me back from releasing my true expression, and that journey extended into my teaching, so much so that I often never felt like I was teaching music, or that I fit into the “musician” world.
I have often seen myself as an outlier, a rebel, and ultimately, out of place. That feeling, although perceivingly negative, has transmuted into a positive force to be reckoned with. I appreciate that when something doesn’t seem right, I don’t settle. I know there is something deep within me that is constantly surfacing, and I see that as my voice. I am passionate about helping others along that journey as well.
Perhaps the experts might tell me to “niche down”, but the rebel in me says that no matter who you are and what you do, I can help you develop your sense of self and purpose through the concept of "voice". I help you with the artistic, metaphoric side so that -whether you're creating spreadsheets and canva templates or writing music poetry and plays- you can express yourself deeply, with more freedom.
And because of my background, I also work specifically with the physical (speaking and singing) voice so that you’re able to use it to communicate in a way that feels aligned with who you are. Whether you are , recording a podcast, preparing for a presentation, writing songs, singing songs, doing voiceover work—I can help you sound like YOU: the voice you hear and know exists...
Your voice IS the sonic representation of who you are.
The goal of my work a teacher/coach/mentor is to help developing and professional creatives cultivate a deeper, more meaningful -and aligned- relationship with their art.
The goal of my work as a musician is to heal and inspire.
My music is my truth.
My voice is who I am.
