“I now speak from an embodied place and with an active awareness.”

“I found Rush the moment I decided to get real with my voice. Since working with her I am more comfortable expressing myself. I used to feel shy and never wanted to speak of be vocal — and now it all feels different for me. Rush helped me many times with my emotional concerns while speaking and expressing myself. I am now able to do my own live events where before I would not even consider it! Rush is super present in our sessions and we have the right mix of what I need. She has a 6th sense. My body is happier and breaks out in song all the time.”

“Working with Rush has been an amazing and opening experience for my voice and self-confidence. I sing to everyone now. I wish I had started this work when I was younger, but I’ve learned it’s never too late. I’ve learned that singing is not about the words; it is the emotion behind the words. Rush knows how to bring this forward from you.”

“I can’t say enough about how much working with Rush has impacted my life. She was an incredible support through a profoundly transformational time in my life. During my time working with her, I left a career that wasn’t in my highest alignment, learned to stand up for what I believe in and began my journey into an authentic life. With Rush there cheering me on, I was able to truly find my voice.”

“I felt deeply seen and understood by Rush in a way that allowed me to see myself with deep love and accountability. She opened up new perspectives and introduced me to avenues of healing and creative expression that I didn’t know existed before working with her. If you are on a personal development journey and looking to embody your true voice, and have the opportunity to work with Rush, I highly recommend it.”

"Rush helped me with unlearning previous unhealthy patterns of throat area constriction which was crucial in order for me to continue singing with ease and joy. 

Not only did I learn useful techniques for the health of my voice as well as  fresh ways to expressively and artistically interpret songs from a variety of genres but I appreciate how the program gave healing room to honor the real life circumstances that can affect the voice and creativity.    

It was amazing to see how Rush was able to skillfully weave in specific chakras and corresponding yoga poses, certain sounds, breath  and spiritual concepts to address whatever issues I was undergoing. 

And to observe how certain attitudinal patterns of behavior and thinking  surfaced that  no longer served and required relinquishing.  What was also very special was the camraderie and connections created with the other ladies over the nine month period.  In fact, I was able to collaborate with one of them in creating and completing my first original song!

"My experience with awakening my voice has been mind blowing. I  am a singer songwriter. I have always felt musically inclined, but unable to fully breakthrough and keep up with my peers in the industry. It has been so exciting to have tools that have broken me out of this and shown me how truly powerful I am not only as a performer, but also as a human being. I am now starting to record my first E.P and being on stage feels something I am looking forward to more and more every week. 

Rush is an amazing teacher and guide and could not recommend sessions more with her. You'll  never feel judgement and your voice is going to really change and amaze you!"

“Rush has helped me in owning my voice on the deepest levels.”

“I have noticed many shifts within myself since working with her, the most important one being understanding and honoring my power instead of running from it. She helped me to go deep and release fears both consciously and subconsciously. I am able to stand in my truth and speak my truth more confidently. I feel seen, hear and understood by Rush more than anyone I have ever worked with. She is so present in each session and gave me the space and full support to fully express myself.”

"The Academy was a very rich experience vocally, emotionally and spiritually for me. I came away with much clearer ideas about how I want to integrate music and singing into my life, and what I need to work on to accomplish my goals. Rush is very empathic, open-hearted, creative, compassionate, curious, and encouraging. She’s very skilled as voice coach and as a coach more broadly.

So, I think if you want to sink more deeply into your voice, or even begin an exploration of your voice and how it folds into your body, heart and spirit, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better person that Rush to do it with."

"I’ve always wanted to sing but struggled for years trying to get my voice to come out. No matter what I did, my voice felt trapped, meek and not ‘good enough’. I almost gave up thinking that, although I dreamed of singing, it might not be for me. But when I met Rush, everything changed! She taught me techniques that helped me release my voice through the chakras while honouring my feelings and authentic self. Most of all, Rush made me see that singing is my birth right and a very important part of me. Thanks to our lessons, I began to feel more comfortable expressing myself through singing and my voice started doing things that I never thought it could do! Rush weaves a safe, non-judgmental space and has an amazing way of feeling into what someone needs in order to support them in the best way possible. She has been particularly compassionate during my many moments of self-doubt and performance anxiety.

Thank you so much, Rush. I have found so much healing and freedom working with you. I will be eternally grateful <3 xxx"
