“I wanted to sing when I was a kid, but I felt ashamed of the sound of my voice. I became a drummer instead, and have been playing for almost 20 years. Now as an adult, I’ve begun to accept myself more and I sought out someone to help me learn to sing. With Melissa, I had no idea how absolutely perfect of a person she was to help me through this time in my life. Melissa is very direct and honest, but also very patient, empathetic, understanding and supportive. She has this ability to balance these two sides of the coin in such a way that is so encouraging. Pretty early on I was amazed at how just from hearing me sing, she could tell that there was some sort of disconnect or shame that was preventing me from fully connecting to my voice. She asked me questions that really helped me understand this shame and disconnect. I was able to process where it all came from, and found ways to move forward from it. If you’re thinking of working with Melissa, please do it! You will not be disappointed.”
