About me
My journey with voice started in music school as a child and has led me through choirs, theatre school, traditional singing projects, and international workshops.
I’ve trained with many approaches and teachers, with main focus on harmony singing from cultures of eastern Europe and beyond, and worked with voice in both artistic and healing settings. I’m also a certified coach in the Modern Vocal Training method.
Over the past years, I’ve hosted voice workshops, led choirs, and co-created projects combining music and performance.
Training and Learnings
My relationship with music began when I was a child at music school and grew through countless choirs and singing groups over the years. As a teenager, I joined a theatre, where I discovered a love for folk polyphonies and the raw power of voices. That path led to work with experienced facilitators and tradition-bearers from Ukraine, Poland, Corsica, and beyond, working with songs from countries of Eastern Europe, Georgia and beyond. I worked intensely with voice technique and Georgian harmonies with Ola and Tomek from Teatr ZAR. I studied acting rooted in the Michael Chekhov approach, which deepened my ability to work with atmosphere, images, and embodied expression.
To deepen the technical understanding of the voice I became a certified voice coach in Modern Vocal Training method, grounding my practice in a contemporary, science-based approach
More recently, I started working closely with Sharif, a shaman and vocal master, in both ceremonies and one-on-one sessions, where I both supported and learned from his way of using voice in healing contexts.
To deepen my musicianship and group improvisational skills I recently started to dive deeper into methods of CVI (Collaborative Vocal Improvisation) with one of its leading proponents Briony Greenhill.
Projects & Creations
Parallel to my trainings, I’ve been devoted to creating and sharing with others. I’ve hosted over 30 Workshops across 5 countries, inviting groups into the depth and ritual of shared resonance. I co-hosted Tuning Into Collective, a blend of authentic relating practices with voice work, and led choir projects, including directing a folk music choir in Berlin and hosting a residency-based choir at The Palace Art residency.
As a performer, I’ve co-created with ensembles such as The Glade, an epic immersive work of pagan-inspired music and theatre. Along the way, I’ve taken part in more intimate collaborations—duos, caroling projects, and live music for healing and movement spaces.
My work continues to weave between artistic, traditional, and healing practices—a living exploration of what voice can carry and create, both individually and collectively.
