I’m a queer, white, non-binary voice teacher and vocalist living on the unceded traditional territories of the T’Sou-ke Nation. I graduated from Capilano University with a degree in Jazz Voice Performance in 2014 and have spent the past decade teaching voice in a variety of settings. I’m committed to ongoing learning and un-learning, and have studied methodologies like Estill and Fitzmaurice, with a special interest in body-based and non-linear approaches to voice.
In 2023, my own gender journey intersected with my teaching when I discovered that gender-affirming voice work existed (thank you, Instagram!). I completed Renee Yoxon’s Trans Voice Teacher Training and began offering gender-affirming voice lessons shortly after. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my practice through self-study and completed the Gender Affirming Voice and Speech and Singing training for teachers and SLPs with Liz Jackson Hearns. As a non-binary person, I know what it’s like for your voice and body to feel out of sync, and I’m passionate about helping other queer and trans folks explore and expand their gender expression through voice.
My work is rooted in anti-oppressive values, activism, and a commitment to continuously unpacking my own privilege as a white settler on stolen land. I also perform and sing in a few bands and projects, including Only a Visitor, Moondle, and Streams Poetry Project. When I’m not making music, you’ll find me in the garden, walking in the woods, or crafting herbal remedies through my project Moonseed Herbals.
