Songs for the Soul

       I believe wholeheartedly in the power of music to touch our souls in the deepest places. Singing is one conduit for this connection into and among our souls.  I have personally witnessed this incredible power over a long and rewarding career as a professional singer and I am passionate about using the gift of song as a healing, living, energetic force for good.

I use music as a direct portal to reach the emotions at various stages of life:
         * It is my privilege to teach young children/teens the amazing joy of finding and using their own voices at the beginning of life's journey.

         * I use the power of music combined with soothing meditative words to reduce stress and consciously create a calm, centered internal space for all who need it (who doesn't???!!) especially those caring for others, be they parents, spouses, adult "children", friends or health care professionals.

          * I create ways in which music can be an awakening, a bridge and a shared, loving activity for people living with dementia such as Alzheimer's. Music can often reach them when nothing else can!

         * I offer the comfort and connection of song as a gift for those at the end of life as they make their final transition.

          And for those who are grieving a lost loved one, songs can be a much-needed catharsis and a beautiful beginning of healing. So, in truth, I believe that there is literally no one who cannot benefit from adding music to life!
"Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."     ~ Plato
