Somatic Singing /
Van 163.93 € /h
Singing is fully employing the instrument you were born with. In my view, all healthy singing is somatic, or a full-body experience.
Somatic singing utilizes immediately applicable, practical knowledge to achieve mind-body coherence to feel truly at home in your own body. This acts as a catalyst in finding oneself, and even an individual's long-term recovery and healing journey.
Singing and teaching voice professionally for over a decade taught me about the profound connection between vocal expression and personal empowerment. As a musician-turned-psychologist, I learned that somatic voice work is a gateway for people to access their subconscious, release emotional blockages, and foster resilience. I believe that it is a necessary, and yet often overlooked aspect of holistic (mental and physical) health.
Much like EMDR or kinesiology, in voice work, changes and healing occur less from a conscious standpoint, and more during the subconscious shifts. As you engage practically in therapeutic modalities like somatic singing, you can expect profound emotional and physiological shifts immediately and over time.

What started out as my simple mantra of “anyone can sing” back in 2012 has turned into winding and beautiful journey, resulting in a multidisciplinary background in psychology, vocal pedagogy, and somatic integration.
After completing a BM degree in Choral Music Education in 2012, I sang professionally and taught in San Francisco, Paris, and Zürich, Switzerland. I gained a unique appreciation and insight into the effects that music, singing, and touch can have in somatic therapy processes.
After over ten years in the field of vocal pedagogy, I embarked on a long-anticipated career change: psychology and somatic therapy.
I first became a psychedelics facilitator (aka “trip-sitter”) while researching with the psychedelics research lab at the University of Zurich in 2021. I also researched the effects of psilocybin in depressed patients at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Zurich (PUK). For my master’s in psychology, I researched the effects of ayahuasca on social connectedness. In 2023, I was recruited by the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) to help launch its LSD in Palliative Care study.
Somatic therapies like breath work, somatic singing, and body work are all incredibly powerful tools to instigate neurogenesis, understand the self more fully, leading to personal empowerment and sovereignty.

After over ten years in the field of vocal pedagogy, I researched and practiced various somatic therapies as part of my master's degree in psychology, gaining a unique appreciation and insight into the effects that music, singing, and touch can have in somatic therapy processes. This has led to the creation of a unique fusion of arts and disciplines that can benefit individuals in profound and long-lasting ways.
My solution is an integrative model of care: blending somatic healing practices such as voice work, breath work, and body work (grounded in clinical research). This approach not only relieves symptoms but helps clients reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and achieve long-term wellness.
15+ years experience singing and teaching professionally has taught me that singing is more than just sound—it's a somatic experience. It engages breath, presence, emotion, and frequency all at once. It brings us home to our bodies. Through voice work, we release tension, regulate the nervous system, and awaken parts of ourselves we didn’t know were waiting. The voice reveals everything—and when you learn how to use it with intention, it becomes a powerful tool for healing, empowerment, and joy.
There's nothing quite like that lightbulb moment I observe in someone’s eyes when something just clicks—when they connect to their body and voice in a new, profound way. Let's discover together exactly what you need to become the most confident, connected version of your fully embodied self.

Many of us mistakenly only seek to increase our happiness, but lack lasting satisfaction and peace. If you are feeling lost in life or unsure of what step to take to take, in this session, you will be truly seen and heard.
My sessions differ from traditional talk therapy because I weave in somatic techniques like breath, voice, and body awareness. This allows for true integration and processing through the body, which is especially helpful for working with trauma and for actually embodying the insights, not just understanding them in the mind.
True integration is oftentimes the most underrated part of the process in one’s journey into their subconscious. During this process, we work together to understand how your new discoveries can be incorporated into your everyday life. It is crucial that this step is conscientiously achieved, and in a place of non-judgment, where you feel safe and comfortable.
With time and patience, your life, and perception of the world and self, can transform.
