Hi! I’m Elizabeth,
Voice Teacher, Mezzo-Soprano, and Green Smoothie Lover
I’m your Guide on your vocal journey.

I work with singers. That means you.

​Whether you want to sing for fun or prepare for voice exams, music festivals, or school and community musical theatre, I’ve got you covered.

I use my training in voice pedagogy, personal training, stress resiliency and nutrition to help singers become resilient, vibrant, confident performers full of vitality on and off the stage.

And my students consistently achieve first class honors with distinction on their exams, win classes at The Winnipeg Music Festival, and get parts in musicals.

Picture
I’ve been there.
I was that kid that was told I sing too loud. I was that kid who became painfully shy. I was that high school graduate that was told I needed to have a university degree to get a “real job”.

But I also had very encouraging singing teachers that kept the passion for singing alive, even through an undergrad degree in biochemistry, to persevere and get my singing diploma in performance and pedagogy from The Royal Conservatory of Music.

So I became that performer rushing from a day job to evening rehearsals, skipping meals or just grabbing some fast food, no weekends off, avoiding sick castmates like the plague, feeling the overwhelming nerves of auditions and performances.

My own health took a turn for the worse after an injury at the pharmaceutical company where I worked left me with chronic back pain that made it difficult to sing and dance. My health worsened with a number of inflammatory conditions. I was tired and constantly getting sick. It was at this point I turned to teaching voice.

Things turned around after I started training for triathlon and overhauled my diet to a whole food plant-based way of eating. I was no longer getting sick, all my inflammatory conditions disappeared, my voice grew stronger and more vibrant and my energy went through the roof!
