Frequently Asked Questions

While it is important to recognize that individuals within the queer community have diverse experiences and face a wide range of challenges, there are some common issues that can impact mindset and self-worth that inspired me to create The Voice Within Coaching Program.

1 - Internalized Homophobia/Transphobia: Many queer individuals have internalized negative societal messages and stereotypes about their sexual orientation or gender identity. This can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-doubt, impacting their sense of self-worth.

2 - Social Stigma and Discrimination: LGBTQ+ individuals often face discrimination, prejudice, and stigma in various aspects of their lives, including their families, workplaces, and communities. These experiences can contribute to lower self-esteem, anxiety, and a sense of not being valued or accepted.

3 - Invalidating Environments: Some queer individuals may grow up or live in environments that invalidate or dismiss their identities. This can result in feelings of invalidation, self-doubt, and a lack of self-acceptance, affecting their overall mindset and self-worth.

4 - Intersectional Challenges: Queer individuals who also belong to marginalized communities based on race, ethnicity, disability, or socioeconomic status may face additional challenges. The intersectionality of these identities can compound the impact on their self-worth, leading to unique experiences and struggles.

My calling is to create a safe space for authentic connection, where individuals can be themselves and find healing.

Yes! In average, around a third of my clients at any given time are neurodivergent.

The first steps in my career involved working with kids and adults with autism, through whom I also quickly came to understand the overlap that exists between both the ASD community and the gender diverse community.

Of course there are uncountable things that go into providing trans-affirming care for neurodivergent folks, but one thing I always love to reassure folks about is that this program is designed so as to uplift and embrace the diversity of human life, not repress it.

That means the approach we follow together avoids techniques that impose masking or rely heavily on sensory perception.

I always strive to provide a safe space for all folks to thrive in and to stay up-to-date on the best ways to provide support. Affirming care is and always should be about being fully yourself.

Holistic voice coaching is an approach that considers the whole person when working on vocal development and expression. It goes beyond just technical aspects of voice production and takes into account the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic dimensions of the individual.

It aims to develop a balanced and authentic voice by integrating techniques such as breath control, body awareness, mindfulness, and self-expression. It recognizes that the voice is influenced by various factors, including thoughts, emotions, posture, and overall well-being.

Absolutely! While other practices such as yoga are a big part of my life, my foremost priority is to provide a space where clients feel most comfortable and capable of pursuing their own goals.

This is your journey! Everything and anything you encounter may be invited in or let go of depending on what best suits you.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, is a powerful approach that helps us understand how our minds work and how we can use language and thoughts to create positive changes in our lives. It explores the connection between our thoughts, language, and behavior, and offers techniques to reprogram our minds and achieve personal growth. By applying NLP techniques, we can rewire our subconscious mind, overcome limitations, improve communication skills, and ultimately enhance our overall well-being and success in various areas of life.
