Find your voice

Somatic Vocal Coaching and Music in the Bay Area

I’m Lou!

I’m here to help people find their way back to their voice through exploration of breath and the body.

Offerings

1:1 Somatic Therapy

"The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe." — Joanna Macy

I offer somatic therapy sessions that reclaim the body as the central space through which we experience life.

I offer attentive, intuitive, trauma-informed guidance to hold space as your body’s wisdom does the healing.

Available online and in person.

Ear Training & Music Theory Instruction

1:1 Vocal Coaching

"The voice is the muscle of the soul." — Alfred Wolfsohn

As a classically trained vocalist studying trauma-informed somatic therapy, I’ll guide you through shame and energetic blocks towards your unique, intuitive, and embodied way of relating to and expressing your truth through the voice.

Available online and in person.

Develop your musical mother tongue.

The ear is the foundation of all musicianship. My instruction is grounded in the Kodály method — centering the voice and building musicianship from the inside out.

We’ll explore vocal improvisation, composition, songwriting, and western harmony to develop real musical fluency: the ability to think, feel, and create through sound.

Available online and in person.

  • “Lou has this way of making you feel comfortable almost immediately. I didn’t realize how much tension I was carrying until I started working with her. Our sessions helped me slow down, breathe deeper, and feel more connected to myself.”

    —Lila M, Somatic Client

  • “I originally came to Lou because I wanted help with my singing voice, but I ended up getting so much more than that. I feel more confident, more relaxed, and way less in my head. My voice feels stronger now, but it also feels more like mine.”

    —Ryan W, Vocal Coaching Client

  • “I’d spent years calling myself ‘not musical’ because theory always felt confusing and out of reach. Lou completely changed that for me

    —Kyla B, Ear Training Client
