You are already a Vibe.

I guide you in aligning voice, nervous system, and Parts so your expression feels coherent both on and off stage.

Hi, I’m Katherine (she/they) and this is my vibe!

Every voice carries a story. Here’s mine…

I grew up as an undiagnosed Autistic, ADHD, and PDA creative with parts of me that were non-speaking. Overwhelmed by the world around me, I learned to mask my sensitivity and silence my stims, many of them vocal. I knew there was SO MUCH I wanted to express, but trauma and nervous system overwhelm often made it difficult to let that voice move through my body.

Artistic spaces became my first refuge. Within structure and sound, I found security and autonomy. I went on to study vocal performance and sing opera professionally. In hindsight, formal voice training was my first somatic therapeutic intervention. The roles I performed offered containment, rehearsal, and creative regulation. The stage allowed parts of me to speak safely.

From the outside, I was building a career. On the inside, I was burning out.

I eventually realized that self-expression felt safe on stage because it was scripted and structured. I had learned to regulate through performance, but not across all nervous system states and areas of my life. I was unknowingly bringing my unhealed inner child to the stage in search of approval.

But applause is not attachment.

That insight shifted everything.

I transitioned into voice coaching and pursued formal training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and embodied modalities. Working with singers revealed and reflected how deeply our trauma shapes the mind-body-voice connection. People were not lacking talent or creativity. They were navigating protective patterns that masked, braced, or shamed their expression.

Through therapeutic singing and songwriting, I began my own process of vocal journaling and integration. I learned to unmask safely, regulate in real time, and nurture my voice offstage so that when I step onstage, I share from grounded Self presence.

My signal was never broken. It was waiting to be integrated.

Today, my work lives at the threshold between offstage and onstage. Through Voice (R)evolution and Vocal V.I.B.E., I guide singers, artists, therapists and creatives in sounding the embodied signal of their soul. We integrate the many Parts of Self that shape expression, build nervous system capacity for visibility, and practice sharing from authentic presence. The work offstage becomes the coherence you carry onstage.

Your voice is not something that needs to be fixed.

It is something to gently unmask, lovingly remember, and consciously share.

Vocal Vibe Testimonials

  • Ralph De La Rosa, author, musician, IFS Therapist

    Katherine is a phenomenal voice coach. She exhibits a vast knowledge of all the dynamic somatic systems involved in singing. That she integrates the psychology and spirituality inherent in singing has been powerful and a real accouterment to my own personal growth in other areas. She's able to help me get into any of the colors and expressions I want to explore. She's also helped me discover I have a much broader range and ability than I ever imagined. Absolutely top notch guidance. I won't be giving up my spot on her schedule anytime soon.

  • Adrian N., Singer-Songwriter

    I started working with Katherine 3 years ago and I can't express enough how much she has transformed my life and art. As a vocal coach she is beyond talented. Her education, experience, and training are apparent the moment you begin working with her, but her approach and warm heart is what truly sets her apart. The transformation I have made working with Katherine is invaluable, she is much more than a vocal coach!

  • Brigitte W., Singer-Songwriter

    Growing up, I was a transit singer, belting my lil heart out in my Prius to and from school. I had hoped that one day I could sing in front of others and start a band, but my combination of low self-esteem, perfectionism, and general burn out kept me from getting there. But Katherine took me right in. She understands what my voice can do and gets me there and helps me unlock what's holding me back. She's also encouraged me to make my own music, which I've started to share and feel more confident than ever. When I went looking for a voice teacher, I had no idea I'd find such a supportive, hype human, and I'm endlessly grateful she's in my life!

  • Klo G., Singer-Songwriter and educator

    Katherine is the vocal coach I never knew I needed yet the best i’ve ever had! It has been so amazing to work with them in such a holistic way; the have been a tremendous influence not only by helping me gain technical facility and confidence in my singing and songwriting, but even more impactfully by guiding me along my journey to grow and find my voice as an artist and an individual. I leave every session feeling more empowered and with a deeper appreciation for the healing abilities of music and art.

  • Liz B., Singer-Actor

    My sessions with Katherine are 1 hour that I get to spend connecting to myself and to my voice spiritually, technically and in a space that is warm, inviting and safe. By approaching vocal work through a trauma informed lens, I am able to free parts of myself and my voice that have felt locked away for years, and I have progressed as an artist and human because of this work. Katherine's knowledge, passion, creativity, and genuine care and connection make these lessons an absolute joy and I leave feeling refreshed and with a smile on my face and heart.

  • Jenna W., Marketing Director

    I’ve been working with Katherine for a few years now. She is simply amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough. The combination of practices she brings together at Voice (R)evolution is unlike anything else. We sing, we do breathwork, we do somatic movement, we do IFS (Inner Family Systems) work, always with Katherine's special brand of magic in the mix. Being a Voice (R)evolution client means you'll learn things about your voice, your body, and yourself -- all aspects of you. You'll definitely laugh, you might cry, but -- above all -- you will feel empowered.

  • Tara A., Therapist and Artist

    I was not a singer! I started working with Katherine as a means to open up my throat chakra. I had some art that was wanting to be birthed & knew that I needed some support to set it free. Katherine is an amazing space holder & is so knowledgeable about the voice & how the spiritual vocal system works. She taught me how to use my voice in the most healthy way. Not only did my work with Katherine birth my art … I am now a singer too! Singing is now such a fun, new way for me to express myself & process through my feelings. I’m so grateful for this new gift! 

  • Kate L., Singer and Activist

    Working with Katherine has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They have a profound gift for compassionately holding space and creating a sturdy container for your parts to be heard, seen, and expressed without judgment. Through our work together, my creative parts have blossomed, and I am finally regaining the confidence to be seen in my authenticity.
