Voice, Singing, Movement, Breathing, Somatic Experiencing, Somatic therapy in Los Angeles
The Work:
My passion is helping creatives overcome the psychological and physical blocks that hold them back from realizing their full expressive potential. To support this, I developed The Resonance Method™, which integrates somatic therapy, breathwork, and voice and movement training.
How we can work together:
As a Somatic Therapist, Voice & Movement Coach, I have extensive experience working with actors, singers, and writers who want to express themselves with greater ease and confidence.
Performance Coaching is for seasoned professionals overcoming creative blocks and deepening their connection to the material, as well as emerging talent ready to discover and share their gifts. It's also for anyone navigating anxiety around auditions, pitching, or public speaking.
On-Set Coaching brings this work directly to film, television, and stage productions, for actors and directors alike.
Small Group Classes, Embodied Voice and Self-Regulation for the Artist, combine vocal exploration with practical tools for regulating your nervous system.
Somatic Therapy offers space to build a resilient, fully integrated relationship with yourself beyond your craft.
I work remotely via Zoom with artists all over the world and offer in-person sessions in Los Angeles and New York City. I also teach national and international workshops.
my approach:
By utilizing a neurosomatic approach, we safely target and release the root of performance anxiety, trauma, and constriction through:
SOMATIC EXPERIENCING®
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and chronic stress, developed by Dr. Peter Levine. His work began with a simple question: why do animals in the wild, who face danger every day, rarely show lasting signs of trauma? He found they naturally discharge the survival energy that threat creates, while humans often hold onto it. Somatic Experiencing works from the bottom up, gently tracking sensations in the body and moving in small, manageable steps, so your nervous system can release what it's been holding and return to a sense of safety. You don't need to relive or retell painful experiences for healing to happen.
FITZMAURICE VOICEWORK®
Fitzmaurice Voicework is a movement-based approach to voice training developed by Catherine Fitzmaurice. It integrates breath, body, voice, and imagination, drawing on influences like yoga, bioenergetics, and classical voice training. Through gentle, natural tremoring, it releases habitual tension and reconnects you with the spontaneous breath your voice depends on. Used by actors, singers, and speakers worldwide, it helps you find a voice that's free, resonant, and fully your own.
BRAINSPOTTING®
Brainspotting is a brain-body approach to healing trauma and emotional blocks, developed by psychotherapist Dr. David Grand in 2003 as an evolution of his work with EMDR. Its guiding idea is simple: where you look affects how you feel. When you focus on something that stirs you, certain eye positions connect more strongly to what you're feeling in your body. By gently holding your gaze on one of those spots, your brain and body can process what words alone can't reach. For performers, it's also a powerful way into character work, and it can help move through creative blocks and performance anxiety.
INTEGRATIVE HYPNOSIS®
Integrative Hypnosis is an approach developed by Melissa Tiers. It blends classical and Ericksonian hypnosis with tools from neuro-linguistic programming, cognitive and behavioral approaches, and energy psychology, all grounded in current neuroscience. In a relaxed, focused state, you can work directly with the unconscious patterns that shape how you feel and respond. For performers, it can be a powerful tool for easing anxiety, building confidence, and accessing the inner life of a character.
Whether you want to process trauma, find your voice, or simply become more comfortable in your own skin, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
