Maya is an excellent teacher for me as she incorporates dance moves with singing technique which help me to visualize the association between the body and the voice and how they are both integrated.

Maya has the remarkable ability to synthesize movement and voice in a creative and fun way where it seems like we are playing and not practicing and doing exercises. Her work and approach is an example of mastery in how she blends different modalities and helps participants manifest their own creative process. She is available, vulnerable, understanding and compassionate and is able to meet the participant for their needs. Such a talent as hers is a rarity in the world and something special to observe and be a part of.

Working with Maya has been inspirational and thoroughly enjoyable. She is a multi-talented artist and wonderful mentor who encouraged me to use a wholistic and effective approach in my voice-training. Her warm personality and cool techniques gave me such confidence in my singing that I even surprise myself! I am definitely an admirer.

I love my singing lessons with Maya. She creates a comfortable environment to explore the range of possibilities within my voice and my body. It is a playful and joyful experience.

Any vocalists out there looking to take their voice to next level? I’ve been taking voice lessons with Maya for the past year and I’m always amazed by what I discover about my voice after doing a two days of work with Maya. Maya is a master at her craft and she has an incredible talent for tricking you into unlocking and accessing abilities you never knew you had. I can’t say enough about how much this work has helped me as an artist and a performer and what a phenomenal teacher Maya is.

I immensely enjoyed Maya’s workshop on ‘Freeing your inner voice’. My background and work is as an engineering manager for a major oil company, which is to say ‘you don’t have to be a creative free spirit’ to attend, enjoy and get something from this workshop.

Maya helps me to take care of my voice and prepare for performances of my songs. I have developed a deep bond and trust in her and the results show in my singing voice and the compliments I receive!!

Singing presents itself as a daunting task for most dancers as we are accustomed to expressing ourselves with our movements but rarely with our voices. I was surprised to find that when the parameters and judgement were lifted from what I thought singing should sound like I was able to explore my full vocal range and find a natural singer within myself.
