The voice from within that tuned and changed my world.

Once an architect, now a singer, teacher and versatile researcher.

After graduating in architecture, I focused my life on researching musical art, performing in concerts, leading individual and group sound-music workshops, teaching singing and therapeutic work with sound. While studying jazz singing and pedagogy at the Private University of Gustav Mahler in Klagenfurt, I took part in various trainings on the topic of sound therapy and the therapeutic use of the voice. I deepened my knowledge and experience by studying at the Peter Hess® Academy (Peter Hess® Academy) in Zagreb and obtained the title “Peter Hess Sound Massage Practitioner”.

In my artistic musical work, I paid attention mainly to the interpretation of the musical tradition of world cultures, projects of music poetry and jazz music. In the last period, however, I am mainly inspired by the atmosphere and sonority of music, as well as modern approaches in creation.

I teach my musical knowledge and experience in the form of individual lessons and group workshops on the topic of vocal technique, correct breathing, creating support, feeling the voice, intuitive singing and improvisation. In my work, I try to act sincerely and follow valuable experiences, which are the result of many years of creation in music and teaching.

  • SOUND-RESTORATION WORKSHOPS consist of tuning approaches with which I support the individual through sound waves, either by using therapeutic musical instruments or by guiding the body in working with internal vibration – the voice. All treatments affect the calming of the mental and nervous system, cell regeneration and gradual restoration of the organism.
    Treatments last from 60 to 90 minutes.
  • SOUND MASSAGE is a relaxing and restorative form of massage in which therapeutic singing bowls are placed on the clothed body. When the vessels come into contact with the body, the sound wave spreads throughout the body, calms the brain waves and the nervous system, releases tension and energy blockages, and activates the process of cell regeneration.
  • WORK WITH THE VOICE is intended for everyone who has a love for singing, vocal expression and creation. By focused observation of the voice, body and breathing, we gain insight into the emotional and physical obstacles that affect our free vocal expression and begin to slowly soften and relax them.
  • SOUND THERAPY is intended to tune and strengthen the body and energy field with the support of therapeutic musical instruments and singing. The rich frequency field that expands with the sounds of gongs, singing bowls, flutes, drums, rattles and chants balances brain waves, activates cell regeneration, detoxification and healing of the organism.
