Your voice is my life. My voice is my life. What gets me up in the morning is empowering my clients and to hone and preserve their voice. Whether you are a singer or communicator, when you discover your authentic voice, you will transform your career, well-being, your relationships, and your life.
My coaching helps singers, speakers create vocal wellness and use their authentic voices. In addition, my unique modality of Sound Healing soothes clients from Fortune 500's, Caribbean resorts, public and charter schools, as well as health clinicians in the U.S. and abroad. I have twenty-five years of experience empowering diverse clients to discover, express and enjoy their most powerful, joyful voices that change people's lives, including their own!
I have sung professionally in venues in NYC - The Village Gate; Los Angeles - The Roxy, Genghis Cohen; Paris, at The Westminster club; at jazz clubs in Portugal, and performing the national anthem at Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. As a vocal coach and licensed music teacher, I've had the pleasure of living and teaching in New York, Los Angeles, the Cayman Islands, Portugal, France, Cape Cod, and beyond.
I believe the arts are not a luxury but an indispensable tool for self-esteem, brain functioning, socialization, and expression. The science has caught up. Many studies prove music is a life saver and enhancer.
Coaching is for anyone seeking self-growth personally, professionally, and artistically. I prioritize empowering each student holistically. We co-create a safe and trusting environment for them to discover their authentic voice both in song and in life. What lights me up is seeing students' confidence blossom, and how that integrates their unique voice into all aspects of their lives.
I'm accused of being kind, fun-loving, and highly intuitive. I value and protect the trust I earn with each student, whether amateur, professional, shy or extroverted. Performers are drawn to me for my broad array of knowledge and expertise in the teaching field, and because I am a working professional singer and public speaker. I'm fluent and extremely adept in the nuances of performance. My students have won numerous scholarships, leading roles and, most importantly, discovered their love of singing! They have quickly became tried and true clients whose relationships and loyalty warm my heart.

testimonials
I left every one of my lessons with Cheryl feeling motivated, capable, and celebrated. After working with Cheryl, I was accepted into the prestigious Berklee School of Music. My dream. I am so grateful to have chosen Cheryl to be my guide. Her impact will last my lifetime."
- Jasmine Vergara-Ullman
After turning 49, I wanted confidence and clarity communicating at work and in everyday life. I started working with Cheryl on my speaking voice. Cheryl is very intuitive, with a teacher's heart and innovative ideas. She quickly saw my deep desire to sing. I didn’t believe that I could sing before working with Cheryl! I have now joined a local choir and have been studying piano and music theory. I didn’t know I had it in me! Thank you Cheryl!

No one ever really encouraged me to sing until I met Cheryl. We meet on Zoom once a week and she encourages me to work with songs I love. And she lets me sing, guiding me and gently pushing me beyond my comfort level, and to my surprise, I found a voice I never thought I had.
- Nena Torres
I've had the privilege to work with Cheryl for recording my first album of original music. Cheryl was incredible, supporting me before, during, and after the recording project. She has a unique and beautiful way of bringing out the best in others' voices. With her vocal expertise and preparation techniques, I was fully present in recording. I'm delighted with the results! My voice has improved, my breathing has improved, and I have more tools to navigate future speaking engagements, concerts, and anytime my voice is needed. - Rabbi Ilan Glazer
