Find your Voice
Find Yourself
Your voice holds more than you know.
Letting it be heard can feel vulnerable. With breath, vocal technique and gentle support, your voice finds its freedom and resonance, and with it comes inner confidence, clearer boundaries and a way back to yourself.
Whether you want to speak up, sing freely, or simply feel more at home in your own skin, this is a safe place to explore.

All levels welcome- Online and In-person
no experience necessary - just a willingness to explore
maybe you're here because...
Something in you is ready to be heard
– You used to sing, in the car, in the kitchen, with friends. Somewhere along the way, you stopped.
– What once brought you joy now feels like a thing of the past, and you're not quite sure where it went.
– You swallow what you really want to say or sing, in meetings, in relationships, or at the family table.
– In a world of screens and scrolling, you feel a little disconnected from yourself and from others.
Your voice is yours to use, every day. Finding it again can bring a freedom and connection you may not have felt in years
It's never just about singing
it is about you
I don’t try to force or fix your voice, or you. Together we discover the sound that’s already there, and make room for whatever surfaces as it opens. A deeper connection with yourself tends to follow, quite naturally.

What is Free Voice
Our body is the instrument of our voice. Every breath, every muscle, every feeling plays a part. We take it for granted, yet it’s one of our truest guides to how we feel, and where we hold back.
What I’ve found is that we all speak and sing the way we do for a reason. Our history, our joy, our pain and the ways we’ve learned to protect ourselves shape how we sound. Some of that is truly us. Some is what we learned to be. There’s room here to gently explore both: to speak, to be heard, and to be met without judgement.
Singing brings us into the present moment. When we stop trying to listen to our voice and simply sense it, breath, vibration, feeling, we arrive right here. It’s in that moment, open and a little vulnerable, that we find our strongest connection with ourselves.
Free Voice is an invitation to be curious. We can’t hear our voice the way others do, but we can feel it, through our whole body. The more we connect with it, the more we come to accept ourselves. Sometimes that means gently letting go of who we thought we were, and how we think we should sound.
how I work
The Free Voice
Approach
Sessions weave together a few things I’ve found naturally support each other.
Breath, so you can breathe, speak and sing with ease while coming home to your body.
Sound, connecting with your own unique voice, both singing and speaking. Every one of us has a voice that is uniquely ours; it’s only our judgement that tells us it’s wrong. When we feel our voice through the body instead of judging it, tension softens and our natural tone, and self-acceptance, come through.
Self, the struggles we have with our voice are often the same ones we have with ourselves. Working through them with kindness builds a deeper self-awareness that reaches well beyond singing.
Support, a space to talk things through when you need it, through counselling on its own or alongside voice and breath work.
a little about me
Meet Susannah
M.A. Vocal Pedagogy, B.Counselling, CPAT, Body Work Therapist, Breathwork Practitioner
Self-discovery has been the thread running through my whole life, and voice and breath have always been my way in. I’ve loved to sing, act and express myself for as long as I can remember.
Like many people, I've also known the other side of it: comparing myself to others, not feeling good enough, pushing my voice too hard. What kept me going was the joy singing and creating has always given me. Over time, those struggles became a way to heal and to get to know myself more deeply.
That path took me across the stage, singing in showbands and duos, performing solo and acting in theatre, and into vocal coaching, lecturing, counselling, breathwork and body-based therapy. Over more than 30 years I've brought it all together into one heartfelt, practical way of working: Free Voice.
My approach is grounded in voice science and many years of training, counselling, performing and teaching, but what I find matters most is the person I’m working with. I create a space that is safe, real and fun, where you can be heard, and where exploring your voice can show you more of who you are.
"As your voice finds ease and freedom, it naturally reflects who you are."
in their words
"I'm living in Canada now, and any time I feel homesick, or my emotions and anxiety get on top of me and it all feels like too much, I go somewhere by myself and sing some songs. I'm so grateful to have had a singing teacher who had such a profound effect on my life. Our lessons were always the highlight of my day. No matter my mood, your positivity, kindness and warmth always made me leave smiling, despite coming in upset".

Cleo: Individual Session
"Truly such an incredible, heart and voice opening experience. Words don't do justice to how grateful I am".
Shanai: Vocal Workshop
"I already have an awareness of my voice based on having sung in choirs and also having studied Speech Pathology. I really liked the opportunity to spend time on the accent breathing and experience a very different way of using the breath for the voice".
Diane: Vocal Workshop
ways we can work together
Begin wherever feels right
On-line & in person
One-on-one with me
Just you and me, in a safe, unhurried space.
Sessions can include voice, breath and counselling, depending on what you need. As you learn techniques to free your voice, a deeper awareness of yourself often follows naturally.
Vocal & breath workshops
Come and breathe, sing and laugh with a small, welcoming group. It's playful and it's moving, and you'll discover how much freer your voice can be when you're surrounded by others doing the same.
Breathwork Sessions
A guided session of continuous, connected breathing. It's simple, and often surprisingly powerfull. For many people it opens something deep: a release, a stillness, a clearer sense of themselves. I'm with you the whole way.
Self-paced · on-line
The Breath Video Series
Start at home with two 20-minute guided videos. Drawing on Accent Method breathing, they help you build a foundation for a clear, confident, free-flowing voice, and give you a simple way to ease anxiety and come back to balance.
