General Singing Support

I recently decided to specialize in helping singers for both pregnancy AND perimenopause. Why both? Because Pregnancy and Perimenopause are mirrors of each other. These are times in our lives when hormones change, our bodies change, our brains change and we change. lot of singers worry about how hormones will affect their voices during this time, but the reality is that what’s happening in your brain is way more important than what’s happening in your throat.

I recently took a deep dive into the transversus abdominis (TVA) recently, and I was a little shocked and concerned because when I look at the content and information we have around activating these muscles, pretty much all of the information is on concentric activation of the muscles. However, eccentric activation is really important for the TVA and especially for breathing.

Making them into something to be feared for female singers has only served as a disservice to our industry at large and plays into the inherent sexism women face in so many ways.

As you might be aware, I gave a recital a few weeks ago. This was my first time on stage in almost 10 years and, as you can imagine, it was ALL the feels, but I’m finally able to focus on some of the takeaways from this experience. For so many years I really disliked listening to my singing. It felt like every time I went to listen all I heard was what I did wrong.
