“singing is a healing act from within our physical bodies. our voices were not given to us solely for performance sake. They are there for our pleasure and emotional release.”

As someone who can often live in their head, working with Melissa got me to trust my body. She has a magical way of bringing out the best and most authentic voice inside of you. I have trained for over 25 years with vocal coaches but never have been so proud of myself than after a lesson with Melissa.

A session with Melissa is more than just a normal voice lesson, rather it is exactly what a voice lesson should be. Not only will you come away with exercises and tricks to hone your performance, but also a deeper understanding of your own voice and the vitality of putting it to use. She’s the perfect teacher for professionals looking to personalize a craft that has begun to feel like work, young artists looking to develop an authentic voice, or anyone feeling stuck. I’ve sung my whole life but for the past few years I felt like I completely lost my voice. Singing didn’t feel exciting or comforting anymore, it felt oppressive and painful. Working with Melissa showed me how to use music to process those feelings and come out on the other side with a voice that feels true to me.

Taking voice lessons with Melissa continues to be one of the best leaps of faith and decisions I’ve made. Every lesson feels so sacred, and with each week that goes by I connect more with and learn more about past and current versions of myself. Melissa has a gift of cultivating an environment where I can come exactly as I am in that moment, feel safe to do so in the first place, and be met with leveled understanding and care. Her approach is warm, supportive, and compassionate, amongst much more, and there are few spaces as safe as her studio. I’ve watched both my voice and myself as a person evolve, open, and blossom in ways past my wildest dreams, and I encourage anyone who has even the tiniest spark about wanting to take lessons to make the jump.
