I support women in connecting with sound, song and the space of the womb to embody their wisdom, intuition, and creative and generative power -
Together we enter into a space of deep listening, embodiment practices of voice, and open to the wisdom and creativity of our own voices.
My name is Annie, and I midwife women into a deep relationship with their voice - Through cultivating a space of safety, we enter into a field of deep listening together. I offer practices to open the physical body and soften through the voice, and we then are able to access more of our authetic voice and become available for the songs that want to be sung through us.
Our time is one of nurturance, softening, and listening to support all the parts of ourselves that are seeking harmony and coherence through sound.
~The Voice & Creation~
The feminine vessel is a truly miraculous force of creation. Our voice is the physically manifesting center of that creation, just as our wombs can create life, so too, our voices are intricately connected to that same center of creation with our word and our song, and our sound.
Offering our song is one of the greatest ways we can praise this earth and all we are given. We each have a song to sing, whether it is calling in the spirit of a new life, or offering our gratitude to our garden, or singing our baby to sleep, our song carries with it a true blessing. It is our birthright to sing this blessing into being.
Many of us feel shut down in our creativity of song, whether from this lifetime or previous, yet it is our responsibility and the desire of our ancestors to see us sing freely and openly.
Feeling safe in our song is part of our journey together.
My approach is somatic based, gentle, intuitive, and trauma informed. Because much of the blocks around expression actually live in the body, using the body and sound is a beautiful and miraculous way to access greater openness and safety within the body and the voice.
This work is for those who seek more freedom in singing freely and speaking honestly and being intimately connected to the creative flow of life within and to express that outwardly in all parts of our lives.
It is a space for you to fall in love with your own creative channel and voice - and to discover a beautiful relationship waiting there for you.
For those who wish to move through any stories of shame, or fear of singing and speaking in front of others, as well as those who already sing and speak and desire to embody their voice, visibility, and creative presence with more ease and joy.
For those feeling like they’re desiring a safe space to cultivate more trust within themselves,
For those feeling more ready to expand into and walk their unique dharmic path.
And for those who know that a supportive space of support would allow for a deeper flowering.
Having our True voice allows us to birth the True vision living in our heart
I consider myself a midwife of the voice -
I provide the space, the support, and the guidance for your natural voice to sing. I am here accompanying you and guiding you in what you and your body already know how to do -so that your unique medicine can be birthed. I offer a space for you to feel at ease and safe and received.
If we have felt shut down in our voices, a big part of their reawakening, and the heart’s opening, is its being received. This happens together. We both get to receive your voice and its precious medicine.
I believe connecting to the voice and the heart through song connects us with the deepest parts of ourselves, - our true desires and longings, our sense of belonging and our interconnectedness with life.
Knowing our own creative essence through song brings balance, right relation, and an opportunity of co-creation with life. True agency and creation lives inside each one of us, and our throat chakra, located right at the epicenter of our voice, wields an incredible power of creation in real time.
Yet it is not only working the voice that we explore together in mentorship, it is the centers of our foundation, our connection with basic structure and support in our lives, our intuition, our womb and its inherent wisdom, our center of will- our healthy identification with ourselves, and our unique vision we are here to steward. And Voice gets to be the practice that helps us cultivate the health in each of our centers to build the relationships and life we feel most aligned with.
Feeling free to offer our voice in song is a way to tune in to the guidance, the wisdom, and the harmony within and without.
Whether you identify as a singer or not.
The health and vitality of your voice and expression in the world is a medicine.
Your voice IS a healer, of the self, of others, and of the planet.
And we need your unique voice’s medicine now!
If you ready to embrace that tender and remarkable truth about yourself, I would be honored to welcome you into this joyful, deep work of song.
“Singing with Annie is Safe
no performance, just pleasure. She creates a space for you to enter as who you truly are. Spending time with her feels like going away to a sacred place. One-on-one with the drum in the forest I felt something ancient come out, the sound of my true voice. Connecting with my voice has led me on a path facing my deepest fears and my greatest gifts. On this adventure I am not alone. Her circles offer community and connection beyond borders in the web of her boundless open heart.”
- Rebekka E. Kvelland, Norway
“Annie is unlike anyone I know
She embodies a quality of attention so loving, insightful and sublime you can’t help but feel elevated by her presence. Right alongside the stunning aspect of her Sacred, is her equally compelling Mundane. I mean this only as the highest compliment: Annie is kind of a bro! She is at once intelligent, radiant and divine, as she is irreverent, goofy, and weird in ways you might expect from a buddy you’ve known since childhood. The way she holds this seeming paradox gives everyone full permission to be their most beautifully gifted and conflicted selves. It almost seems like she is uniquely designed to disarm you of your assumptions, invite you into your vulnerability and elevate you into a higher expression of your authenticity.
Annie also has the uncanny ability to shine light upon a person’s soul, bringing to bear the gifts and strengths they embody, as well as their wounds and challenges. Her deep empathy and genuine interest in supporting people in their healing, creates a welcoming container for you to let your guard down and feel your scariest feelings. Her heavenly voice and intuitive musical gifts create the backbone, and energetic current of the journey, carrying you along and inviting you to cultivate your own medicine as well.”

“I am feeling so grateful after taking Annie’s five week 1:1 session series
Annie’s approach to teaching through the elements and embodied voice activation helped me to fall deeper in love with my voice. As a singer/songwriter I gained so much from looking into my heart to see what was alive and true for me each session. Annie cares about you as a whole human being, and truly uses the voice as an instrument to enliven the soul! These past five weeks were so powerful for me and I learned so much, from embodiment techniques to breath-work exercises that helped me to open my voice. Singing with the harmonium and medicine drum brought me out of my shell as Annie holds such a safe space for creating. I am so inspired by our time together and am grateful for Annie’s gentle, guided approach towards teaching. My voice feels more free and my songwriting has really blossomed thanks to Annie’s support!”

Why Sing?
Singing is one of the most vulnerable and authentic ways we can truly be seen, and that is why so many have a resistance to sharing their song. As it is incredibly vulnerable and connected to our inner-most selves. And many of us have experienced a trauma in being heard or seen in our expression, and that trauma, which may be from several years ago, can be preventing us from enjoying and sharing ourselves in song!
Using Our Voice in Song Allows Us To
cultivate joy and more open-heartedness in our daily life
develop self trust and communicate our true needs with more ease
self-soothe and regulate in a deeply nourishing way
create balance in our energetic, emotional, and physical body
