What People Are Saying
“Working with Miriam was a transformative experience. Her approach is deeply somatic, embodied, and wonderfully playful.”
— Andrew
“It would not be an overstatement to say that working with Miriam altered the course of my life. […] I went from a scared person who only sings in the car to someone who just played a three-hour set.”
— Kyle
“[…] my voice is now aligned with the rest of my body and emotions, and I feel that confidence permeating through every part of my life.”
— Madelin
“[Working with Miriam] was in many ways therapeutic, like an exploration of the forms and feelings of resistance that stood in my way, with practical ways to soften into that resistance and reclaim what was once so essential to me."
— Dustin
I'm Miriam Bolender, a professional musician, vocal mentor, and someone who went from saying "I don't sing" when invited to sing in any capacity (even in groups), to singing in front of thousands of people.
I spent the first 24 years of my life being too afraid to do the thing I wanted to do more than anything. I bought into the myth that “real” singers are born belting like Whitney, and figured that since no one had ever told me I was a singer, I must not be one, and shouldn't embarrass myself by trying.
I'm intimately familiar with the sensation of vocal constriction, and the vulnerable, terrifying, enlivening, transformative path from a timid voice to a liberated one.
I used to be so afraid of singing that I couldn't even sing alone in my car unless the music was loud enough that I couldn't hear myself. The work of liberating my voice has been the most challenging and profoundly impactful work I've ever done -- I never imagined it would be possible for me to feel so at home and at ease in my voice.
I want that freedom for you, for everyone.
In working together, my intention is to create a space where you feel truly free, confident, and comfortable expressing your authentic voice. With a decade of experience, I come bearing tools to help you dismantle the limiting beliefs that conspire to keep your voice stifled, as well as technical knowledge that will support you in developing and refining your instrument.
“I loved every session I had with Miriam! She not only helped me open my voice and feel more confident as a singer, but she helped me go deep within myself to unlock the personal fears and vulnerabilities that come with using my voice, and going down to the root of it.”
