trauma-informed. real results.
working with lis is…
MINDFUL
trauma-informed isn’t a buzzword here; it’s a way of paying attention. we work with the body’s signals, not against them—tending to the nervous system, recognizing protective patterns, and choosing safety as the foundation for growth.
COLLABORATIVE
This work isn’t top-down—it’s relational. You bring your lived experience; I bring the tools to help you meet it with voice. Curiosity keeps us in dialogue, co-creating a process that’s alive, responsive, and genuinely fun.
INCLUSIVE
to me, inclusion means awareness in action. we name the power dynamics that shape our voices—systemic, cultural, interpersonal—and we adapt with flexibility and care so your voice has room to unfold on its own terms.
EMPOWERING
your voice belongs to you. i’m not here to fix or mold it—i’m here to help you uncover what’s already there. we strengthen what’s working, stretch what’s ready, and honor the story your voice carries.
my approach to voicework
Linklater Voice (MFA Training)
The Linklater Voice Work method, developed by Kristin Linklater, focuses on freeing the natural voice by addressing and releasing physical tensions that inhibit vocal expression.
The technique involves practical exercises designed to enhance physical awareness, release breathing musculature, and develop vocal resonance and articulation, aiming to strengthen the voice/body/mind connection through imaginative and organic practices.
Linklater Voice Work also emphasizes the psychological and emotional aspects of vocal expression. This holistic approach addresses not just the mechanics of vocal production, but also helps individuals connect more deeply with their own voices to communicate authentically and confidently.
Linklater's work gained international recognition, training well-known actors like Sir Patrick Stewart and Sigourney Weaver. Highly respected in actor training programs worldwide, this method benefits anyone looking to improve their vocal quality and emotional expression.
Iyengar Yoga (200RYT®)
