I’m Marni, and I’m so glad that you are here.
Some come to talk, some come to sing, some come to understand themselves.
Just come as you are.
When someone asks me what I do for a living, I usually keep it simple. I say I'm a voice teacher and an expressive arts coach. But upon our first meeting, it will become clear that together we will do something far deeper and more impactful than merely voice work.
I help you to embrace that person you want the world to see, the one you know is inside. The person who loves bigger, is more understood, and more confident in sharing themselves. The work is bold and brave.
My method is different; it’s intuitive; it’s non-traditional ~ it’s my “magic”.
I customize my approach to meet the needs of each individual, drawing on techniques derived from various modalities and methods including;
expressive arts: voice, movement, language, writing, body language, and theatre,
therapeutic and holistic fields of study which include energetic bodywork such as breathwork and reiki,
integrating the multi-sensory systems: emotional, physical, intellectual, kinetic, and energetic.
Why Work with Me?
I get you. The people that inspire me, seem to be the “others” in the world. They are the ones who feel out of place or misunderstood. I know how to connect to them because I am her too.
In my youth, I always felt a little different. I was the girl who was awkward, weird, and never felt welcomed at the “cool kid’s table”. My favorite place in the world was in my imagination - where my world was full of color, passion, and adventure. Even though I was highly intuitive, I had severe struggles with speech and conventional learning, and it was in the arts that I finally found a voice and new creative ways to express myself. I now have the structure and toolkit to confidently share who I am with the world.
I want to do this for you too.
It is through my personal experience that I have discovered what has truly worked for me and will work for anyone else who sees themself as an “other”. Together, we will explore abilities, push boundaries, find solutions to problems, and embody the best version of ourselves.
