Your voice is leading you somewhere…

whether you’re finding words for your truth, creating a body of work, or following a calling you’re only beginning to understand…

voice is the vehicle to bring forth what’s inside you, out into the world.

explore working together

Something inside you is longing to be expressed… whether you’re ready, or not.

and maybe you’re clear about exactly what that is… or not.

It could be a song. a poem. a book.

It could be a conversation. a truth.

It could be an entire body of work. a business. a vision. an art installation. a curriculum.

it could even be a way of life.

maybe you’re wanting to hear more of yourself in your sound.

or perhaps you just have a sense that something is shifting inside of you. What used to fit feels different now, and you’re listening for a direction that you can’t quite name… yet.

or perhaps, you can name it, but it’s a big leap from here.

This is where we begin.

Together, we listen for what wants to move, explore what’s getting in the way, and experiment with ways of expressing that feel connected to who you are and what you’re here to share.

And as you follow your voice, you begin to recognize more of yourself: what matters to you, what brings you alive, and what you want to give your time and your life to.

That knowing is a gift you carry into everything you do.

It shapes the work you create,
the relationships you nurture,
and the choices that make your life feel like your own.

What begins as a longing to express something can lead you into a deeper understanding of who you are and a sense of purpose you can begin to live.

Hi, I’m Chelsea 👋🏻

I create breakthrough voice experiences that help people bring forth what is inside of them, through all forms —and expressions— of voice.

I've dedicated a significant portion of my life to understanding the profound connections between voice, the body, emotion, and personal transformation. I call this, the emotional physiology of the voice: how our inner experience takes physical form in our sound and how exploring that sound can change what we understand about ourselves.

Through coaching, somatic practises, and intuitive guidance, I help you hear the wisdom already within you and then together, we develop ways to express and act on it.

With a master’s in ethnomusicology, extensive training in vocal performance, and almost two decades of teaching experience, I bring technical understanding into close relationship with your lived experience. We explore how your instrument works alongside what you feel, what matters to you, and what you want to express.

I bring warmth, deep empathy, and a willingness to stay curious with you. Together, we create the conditions for your voice to be heard and honoured, including the parts you’re still getting to know.

And as more of you becomes available in your expression, that discovery reaches into your life. It can change how you relate, what you create, and what becomes possible for your voice in greater contexts.

You bring your voice. I bring my ability to hear what's possible.

  • Hi! I’m Chelsea…

    Artist. Entrepreneur. Vocal Coach. Mentor. Creative Engineer. Pursuer of Truth.

    I use the concept of voice as a way to guide you in speaking your truth to cultivate a deeper, more meaningful -and aligned- relationship with yourself and your work.

    Sound has been my main medium of personal expression, however, the things I have learned through studying sound TRANSCEND the medium. What I have derived from my study of voice, music, and vibration is that it is just a vehicle for our essence, our identity to come through, and that our voice starts deep within us and is expressed through our everyday actions, our decor, our photographs, our business, our cooking, the way we move, and the way we communicate with others. I believe…

    You can transform lives with the sound of who you are.

  • My goal is to expand the definition of voice to include both aspects and use the term voice as a more holistic part of who we are, so that we can be more of ourselves. Through my specific training in the physiological aspect of the voice, I have had the privilege of making connections between these inner and outer worlds. Voice has been an incredible metaphor to me that has resulted in physical and emotional transformations I could’ve never imagined heading into this field.

    While I worked primarily as a voice, piano and songwriting coach for many years, I noticed that the biggest breakthroughs happened working on the psychological aspects of the voice and personal expression, and that changing the mindset or the mind maps could create tangible changes, without activating the motor skills needed to perform the action.

    This journey has extended into —and expanded— my teaching and way of thinking of voice in all the contexts and ways in which I use it.

  • Chelsea has a way of igniting / sparking a person's inner glow and authenticity. Working with her has given me a space to accept my own inner nature. I knew intuitively that it was there, but after working together I felt it full force. Her method of experiencing inner connection and being the change in the world is revolutionary. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for her.

    —Debra Karesa

  • “[Chelsea’s] music is a kind of exploration. The sound is suggestive of alternative dimensions, dreamscapes, time travel, “essence”...an adventure for the ears, and a nice sorbet from our busy weighty modern lives full of pop songs and commercial jingles. It is like the sound of pure unadulterated silence, with the volume turned up!”

    —Debra Lynn (The Gazette)

  • Chelsea has been a huge part of my personal journey in finding my voice. She has this incredible way of allowing people their own space and grace to “fail”, and in the process, find themselves. Her ability to identify and reinforce a person’s individual strength has allowed me to shine a light inside myself and as a result, grow as a person, vocalist and musician. She’s an all-around inspiring person to work with.

    —Jacqui Sneazwell

  • You have no idea the positive impact you’ve had on my life. I’m forever grateful for just having a chance to know you.

    —Gwen

  • “As a composer, Chelsea’s creativity and skill are superb. But more than just her brilliance as a composer and musician, is her intuition, her subtle but unique approach, and her ability to inspire and push my own creative limits. Uncompromising and dedicated, I recommend Chelsea to anyone seeking an imaginative and powerful score to elevate their own creative work”.

    —Craig Carpenter

  • 'Chelsea is not only a brilliant musician, but she also has the rare ability to feel intuitively into what is needed for each project she is working on, inducing it with an extra layer of specialness and soul, taking the listeners to another plane altogether. My podcast Dreamy Cappuccino for sure wouldn’t be the same without her.’

    —Anja Kersten, For A Magic World
