ZING JE ZEN

I grew up an introverted girl in a large, poor, noisy family. Early on, I discovered that singing was my asset.
My voice calmed myself and others. It brought connection and also helped me withdraw into my own little world.
At the age of 6, I joined a choir and started taking music, drama and dance classes. Later I chose to study jazz singing at the conservatory.
I gained a lot of fine stage experience. I performed as an actress in theater plays, made my own music for my various bands, sang as a backing vocalist for famous artists and collaborated in many musical projects.
 
When I could sing freely, it felt wonderful but sometimes singing was accompanied by fear of failure and performance pressure. These feelings of stress greatly inhibited me in my growth process as an artist but also as a human being.
 
I decided to tackle the root causes of my stress and went into therapy.

During those years I started to study yoga, mindfulness, meditation and relaxation therapy. Also my passion for traveling, nature, various cultures got more attention in my life and brought me new insights and joy in life.

I trained as a sound healing therapist and vocal liberation coach. Gradually I felt liberated from my fears and learned to deal with my high sensitivity.

In 2019, I became seriously ill due to hereditary kidney disease, I spent a lot of time in the hospital. I felt energetic and weak both physically and mentally. My knowledge of relaxation and voice therapy then helped me maintain a positive spirit and find peace in my body.
Since becoming a mom to a wonderful daughter and having a successful kidney transplant, I have decided to be gentler on myself.
I am more aware of life, my surroundings and the power of the body and our minds.

With that renewed strength, I decided to found “Sing Your Zen.” I wish to help people find their own unique power through voice work, singing and voice liberation.
