A bit about me:

  • I am a voice teacher and coach deeply passionate about helping people discover their own unique singing capacities and connection to their voice. I offer online and in-person singing lessons as well as online courses on mindfulness and meditation for singers, singer well-being and navigating performance anxiety.

  • I am an opera singer passionate about classical voice sung with authenticity and heart. I am also a crossover singer who loves folk music, musical theatre and has a deep appreciation for many musical genres. I teach vocal technique with a whole person approach helping you to hone your singing skills as well as your mindset, stage presence and connection to yourself.

  • I am a meditator and trauma informed meditation instructor.

  • I incorporate Mindfulness and Alexander Technique principles into my work with singers.

  • I have a special passion for working with singers who want less performance anxiety/tension and more focus, freedom and authenticity on stage.

  • I believe profoundly that our voices find the most freedom when we can connect to the joy of expression and story telling. I also believe that cultivating a wiser and kinder relationship with all aspects of who we are in the process of singing allows for deeper enjoyment and vocal discovery on our singing journey.

The Vision of Mindful Sound

Singing involves every aspect of who we are.

So what if the singing journey was more than just learning scales and developing your technique? What if the singing journey allowed you to:

  • Discover how to live in a wise and compassionate relationship with your voice and to fall in love with the joyful process of the singing journey!

  • Deepen your connection to yourself, your singing and your expression.

  • Connect to your unique capacity for creativity.

  • Develop your vocal technique in a playful, enthusiastic and joyful way.

  • Feel connected to your voice and liberated to use it in the way you envision.

This is how the singing journey is understood at Mindful Sound. Christina fuses her in-depth knowledge of vocal technique and performance with mindfulness and meditation practices to help the whole person discover their voice in a meaningful and complete way.

This one goes out to all the singers out there - opera, musical theater, jazz, folk, whatever genre or style. All of us need to reclaim this right to softness, to self-compassion, to joy, to artistic fulfillment. We need to reclaim the truth that
Bringing back another older post because I’m feeling all of these things in a big way right now 💕 The perfectionist, purist, “old-guard” way of doing opera is exhausting. I think embracing a broader definition of beauty and being
One of the most powerful realizations for me as a singing artist and teacher has been to compassionately reclaim my belonging in all the moments where old patterns insist I call it into question. Comparison, self-doubt, fear, perfectionism - they ca
Coming back to this post I wrote almost a year ago. It resonates just as much today. It is so liberating learning to be a fierce protector and advocate for my voice after spending so long viewing it as inadequate. #voice #singer #opera #operasing
