The Mat to the Mic
For female singers, recording artists
and performers
An 8-week Embodied Voice & Yoga journey where health and wellness meets artist development.
How are you feeling at this moment?
Do you find yourself holding back your ideas or pushing to prove yourself? Are you being guided to sing in a style that doesn’t feel good in your body? Or perhaps you can’t quiet your inner critic, and you’re exhausted by outside opinions about your music career.
You’re not alone
Many female artists and performers have felt this way. Given the constant barrage of distorted messages about our bodies and voices, it’s not surprising. We’re taught that “good girls” are quiet. That we must “fix” our bodies rather than live embodied. To be seen rather than heard and to fake it till we make it. These distortions make it difficult to see ourselves clearly, stifling personal and artistic growth and expression.
A practice for you
The Mat to the Mic
Rooted in you
The Mat to the Mic is designed for female vocalists, singers, recording artists, and performers who want to mindfully chart their course, breaking away from the music industry's one-size-fits-all demands. This signature program offers a soul-centered, self-care approach to building a sustainable path to success as an artist and performer.
From one female artist to another
I hear you, I see you,
I feel you!
As a fellow artist, I understand the challenges, dreams, and sacrifices of forging a music career. I’ve walked this path, too—the doubts, the triumphs, and the constant balancing act between ambition and well-being.
Your body carries the wisdom, and your voice carries the way.
This is about more than just “making it” in the music industry—it’s about creating a sustainable path rooted in your whole self: mind, body, and voice.
Together, we’ll cultivate the tools, trust, and confidence you need to thrive—not just as an artist but as a woman boldly charting her course and sharing a story only she can tell.
