Testimonials
“I’ve always considered myself a 'non-singer,' so I was nervous when I signed up for Miriam's singing lessons. But after just one session, I felt incredibly comfortable. Miriam created a space not only to explore singing but also to discover my own voice and build the confidence to express it. I learned so much about singing, but more importantly, I realized how deeply emotions are intertwined with our voice.
The practice of choosing to use my voice, even when it felt intimidating, stayed with me long after my lessons ended with Miriam. My confidence in both my voice and myself grew. I not only became more comfortable singing, but I also gained a powerful tool to check in with myself, connect with my emotions, and connect with others. It was truly a gift—an invaluable experience.”

“Working with Miriam was a transformative experience. Her approach is deeply somatic, embodied, and wonderfully playful. Through energetic vocalization, focusing on different points in the body, we unearthed and healed deep-seated trauma around singing. The cathartic release of stuck energy from these various parts of my body was profound and deeply healing. Along with more technical singing methods, I came out of three+ months of working together feeling more grounded, connected, and confident in my voice.”

“It would not be an overstatement to say that working with Miriam altered the course of my life. Yes, she improved my technique and consistency, but a lot of coaches can teach that. What made Miriam so special as a teacher and guide is how she unblocked and unlocked my energy, shifting my mindset from "perform" to "give."
I went from a scared person who only sings in the car to someone who just played a three-hour set.”
–Kyle
“I had always wanted to improve my voice and I had always loved singing, but I didn’t know if I actually could…
Then I found Miriam, a teacher who was part vocalist, part therapist, part guide, and for the first time in my life I really learned how to sing.
I opened my throat chakra, I felt unfelt feelings, and I truly strengthened my voice.
I felt safe to share, open and bring my full self to each session. She held such a profound space to open and be seen in - no story or emotion was too big for her to hold.
I am forever grateful for my work with Miriam.
If you are interested in strengthening your connection to your voice…I highly recommend working with her.”

“Working with Miriam was a dream come true for me. I always wanted to sing from a place that allows me to get in touch with deeper parts of myself, feel connected to an inner voice, and express myself in ways I deeply longed for. Miriam not only understood where I was coming from, but I also felt held through the process. Miriam is a deeply empathetic person and a dear soul, and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from her. My deepest thank you, Miriam.”

Working with Miriam was a particularly meaningful experience in my life. I signed up for her private coaching because I wanted to learn to sing. I’ve always loved signing but struggled to sing in tune. I never really believed that I could sing. While I made incredible progress learning to sing in tune, what I got from just a few months of working with Miriam was so much more. I didn’t realize it but I actually found my voice - a voice that had been conditioned to be silent by a challenging childhood and all of society’s systems of oppression. My work with Miriam culminated in my performance at You’re Going To Die. I wasn’t the most polished performer but I will always remember the moment after I sang the my last note - a moment that felt like an eternity - before the crowd erupted in applause. And now, 5 years later, I reap the benefits of my work with Miriam every night at bedtime as I see my 6 month old smile back at me as I sing “You Are My Sunshine” mostly in tune.

“Miriam beautifully holds a loving space in which people can find their voice and learn to speak & sing from the heart. She has a fiery compassion that was such a gift to me. When I first started with her I couldn't sing above a whisper in a group of people, and now I randomly sing while shopping, not caring who can hear me. Working with her was pivotal in my healing journey. And as I've continued in my devotion to healing, I often see how so much of what I'm doing builds upon the foundation Miriam helped me lay.”

"Miriam is both profoundly skilled and deeply supportive. She'll meet you where you are and help you grow effectively and sustainably toward your goals. Whether you're getting stage ready or shy about singing in your own home, Miriam knows how to adapt and create a safe and supportive environment for joy and growth.”
–Nick
“Before working with Miriam, I hadn't sung a day in my adult life, despite missing it deeply. The thought of singing for another person filled me with anxiety, but I knew I absolutely needed to reclaim my voice.
Miriam’s unique approach to vocal coaching and warm, encouraging teaching style helped me steadily open my voice and find joy in singing again. It 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."
Our one-on-one sessions together were exactly what I needed to begin this journey, and became the fertile ground for music to reroot into my life.
If you're hesitant about singing but feel called to explore your voice, you absolutely need to work with Miriam.”

“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. Miriam supported me to access my power, ground with the earth and strengthen my communication skills, sense of expression and vocal capacity. She is a very skilled coach and attentive listener, and will meet you with what is present in each moment while also working toward your long term goals. Sessions felt cathartic, creative, emotionally clearing, liberating and joyful! I am forever grateful for Miriam's deeply loving support in reconnecting me to my true voice.”
–Adi
Before I sat with Miriam, I had been terrified to sing—yet bursting with music—for decades. With skillful grace she guided me through my fear of being heard and back into my heart where my child self had been belting it out all along. I am forever grateful for the safe, playful, musical space she creates and the light she shines into a song, a harmony, a note.

“Working with Miriam is one of those life changing experiences that are reserved for the lucky ones. I went from silently humming to myself in the car to writing songs and performing in front of big groups of people. After just a few lessons, I felt my voice get stronger. After a year and a half, 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. Would highly recommend this work for anyone who wants to feel just how powerful their voice can really be, and for those who know there is always room in their existing practice (whether freshly budding or well ripened) to grow.”
–Madelin
“Miriam is both a highly skilled vocal coach and an incredibly supportive and attuned person. Through working with her, I have developed my singing in profound ways and have learned a lot about myself and my soul in the process. Anyone who is considering working with Miriam would be so lucky to receive the wisdom and presence of this sonic witch. Not to mention her singing voice, clearly descended from some angelic realm many millennia ago!”
–Chase
Working with Miriam opened my eyes to how fun and easeful it can be to explore one’s voice and music. Her own story of finding her voice is inspiring and her whole being is an encouragement. Working with Miriam feels light-hearted, full-throated, heartful, and skillful. I feel inspired to play, because she helps to diffuse any programming about needing to do it right. It’s more about play. Her soulful approach to both music and Life itself comes through as a transmission. Miriam is a blessing.
