"I'm a Meditation Guide, Spirit Guide, Breath Instructor, and Vocal Coach serving the larger Santa Cruz and San Francisco Bay Area community. I teach singing as a form of healing, and healing as a way to sing! My voice lessons are unconventional, original and authentic ~ I use various alternative healing modalities and somatic exercises to help you find energetic blocks within your chakra system and then release them through breath, mantra, and vocalization. I also help you gently move through anxiety like stage-fright or low self-esteem, heal past triggers that are causing you self-doubt or fear, and facilitate full freedom of expression in a safe supportive space."
"I incorporate Guided Meditations, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Yoga Breathwork such as Pranayama and Iyengar breathing exercises in my practice, giving you tools and breath support as you discover your voice. I also use Opera Breathing techniques and traditional Vocal Warmups to ensure healthy vocal practices and build good singing habits.
I greatly value health, self-care, well-being and freedom. My mission is to help you find your voice and speak your truths! It is my honor to assist you as you develop a beautiful new relationship with your voice and manifest positive change in your life. I offer one-on-one private coaching sessions, live group classes in nature, and live online classes every single week."

Justine's Somatic Singing approach with body awareness, lifestyle shifts, and deep meditation has improved my life in shocking ways. I am so much more mentally prepared for shows, interviews, work, and life. Since I started taking regular weekly online classes with Justine, my goals seem to come to fruition more often and in bigger ways than I had even hoped. I look forward to my somatic singing class every week."
