More Than Just a Voice: A Holistic Approach to Gender-Affirming Voice Coaching

When it comes to gender-affirming voice work, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach—and that’s exactly how it should be.

As someone who’s an SLPA (Speech-Language Pathology Assistant), certified life and wellness coach, trained counselor, and a professional singer, I offer a wide range of gender-affirming voice coaching services that support not just your vocal transformation, but your whole self. Whether you're just beginning to explore your voice or refining your expression years into your journey, my approach is designed to meet you wherever you are—gently, respectfully, and with heart.

Let’s break down the different ways we can work together.

🎤 1. Foundational Voice Exploration

For those who are just getting started with gender-affirming voice work, this is where we lay the groundwork:

• Understanding pitch, resonance, and vocal anatomy

• Safe, sustainable vocal exercises

• Building awareness of your natural voice and how it’s perceived

• Exploring your goals in a supportive, affirming space

You don’t need to come in with experience—just curiosity and an open mind.

🧠 2. Voice Coaching + Emotional Support

This is where my work as a coach and counselor really comes in. Voice work is often tied to complex emotions: excitement, vulnerability, dysphoria, fear, joy. In these sessions, we work on:

• Building confidence and self-acceptance

• Navigating anxiety or voice-related dysphoria

• Developing resilience and vocal courage in public settings

• Identifying mental/emotional blocks that may affect vocal progress

You’re not just changing how you sound—you’re showing up in the world differently. That deserves support on every level.

💬 3. Day-to-Day Voice Feminization or Masculinization

If your goals are focused on aligning your speaking voice with your gender identity, we can work on:

• Pitch modification and maintenance

• Feminine or masculine resonance shaping

• Natural sounding speech patterns and intonation

• Nonverbal cues and communication style

• Role-playing real-world situations (ordering coffee, job interviews, phone calls, etc.)

You’ll learn not only how to use your voice but when and why—building fluency and ease in everyday life.

🧘 4. Mind-Body Voice Work

Your voice isn’t just in your throat—it’s in your breath, your body, your energy. These sessions integrate:

• Breathwork and posture alignment

• Mindfulness techniques to reduce tension and increase vocal flow

• Somatic awareness and grounding exercises

• Visualization for vocal ease and confidence

Especially helpful if you tend to feel disconnected from your voice or tense when speaking.

🎶 5. Artistry and Vocal Expression (With a Singer’s Touch)

As a professional singer, I bring a deep understanding of vocal technique, control, and style. If you want to refine your expressive range, performance, or vocal presence, we can dive into:

• Melody, musicality, and intonation patterns

• Expanding pitch range safely and naturally

• Embodied speaking and singing techniques

• Breathwork and resonance for a fuller, more dynamic voice

This is a great fit for folks interested in singing, public speaking, streaming, podcasting, or any kind of creative self-expression.

🌈 6. Ongoing Support & Voice Check-Ins

Already been through voice training or just need occasional guidance? I offer:

• One-time consultations or tune-ups

• Voice journaling prompts and home practice reviews

• Progress tracking and vocal health check-ins

• Support during social or medical transition milestones

This is a flexible, low-pressure option for those maintaining or fine-tuning their voice over time.

My Approach: Holistic, Affirming, and Fully You

At the heart of all of this is a simple truth: your voice should feel like home.

My approach is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and always collaborative. I’ll never push you to sound a certain way or follow a strict program. Instead, I’ll help you explore, experiment, and evolve your voice in ways that feel right for you—because your voice is yours to define.

Whether you're looking for a full vocal transformation, a confidence boost, or just a safe space to explore, I’d love to support you. You don’t have to go on this journey alone—your voice matters, and I’m here to help you find it.

✨ Let’s find your true voice—together.
