• VOICE YOUR ESSENCE IS  FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO STOP CONFORMING. STOP FITTING IN. THOSE WHO WANT TO RISK WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LIVE MORE FREELY, TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR BODY, YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR PERSONAL STORIES.

    How do you keep yourself from feeling like a commodity? A cog in the wheel of life? By defining who you are and what you stand for. By owning your unique voice in our world and using it to touch, heal, move and inspire.

    Whether on stage or in a conference room, whether you are writing on your book or sharing your heart with a dear friend,  the magic starts when you realize that the voice is the connecting force behind all relationships and all creation.  You are voice. Sound is your core being.

  • Rather than pushing away the “crazy” things we feel, my work proceeds with the conviction that our actions, beliefs and deep feelings make exquisite sense, and that the way to transform our relationship with our voice is to be open, curious and kind with ourselves-instead of punishing, impatient and harsh.

  • Each of us has a calling. An inner voice that speaks to us and guides us. Each of us remembers the care-free lightness we had singing as a child. Activate that highly creative abundant space of wholeness.

    The VOICE connects heart and mind. Inner and outer worlds. Heaven and Earth. It is the missing link to health, happiness and harmony. The driving force behind all creation: Join me and finally drop your fear of expressing who you truly are. It is easier than you think. And you know what's super cool?

    It feels like flying. Yup. Good Vibes.

  • Kara’s mentoring and coaching skills extend far beyond vocal instruction. Her in-depth understanding of the voice-body-spirit connection is impressive and effective, as client well-being is her first priority. I highly recommend her for all matters of the voice.
