Despite loving my job, my career just wasn’t really going anywhere for a long time and my mental health was in a terrible state. When I was diagnosed with PTSD in my early 30s, I hit a crisis point and began having somatic therapy. Everything finally started to make sense. Talking therapy hadn’t really worked for me over the years, but suddenly old limiting beliefs were shifting, my relationship to myself and others were changing, and I felt more like myself than I ever had. The biggest surprise was how much my singing levelled up, and how much fun I started to have on stage – I felt free to express myself, be creative, and just enjoy making music with my colleagues rather than being stuck worrying about my technique or what the audience was thinking.

Now, a few years on, I’m no longer plagued by those awful PTSD symptoms and I have a fulfilling and exciting singing career which is growing in tandem with my personal growth. These massive shifts in my own life made me determined to help people – I know that my life’s purpose is to help others by sharing my story and my vulnerability, to empower them to liberate themselves. Singing is so close to my heart and I now work with singers to help them join me in unshackling themselves from the blocks that hold them back.
