You Are The Instrument

Discover how to use your own voice as an instrument for music and for growth

Are you living a joyful life?

You are here to live a joyful life!
And in case you forgot, I am here to remind you.

I'm Anne. Everything I do is about connection and freedom through working with the voice.

Everything you need is already within you. I simply help you bring it out, through sounding and singing,
I can support you with instruments, singing and touch. Whether through coaching, a ceremony, or singing lessons, every path leads back to connection with yourself.

I channel songs that are pure and simple. In ceremony, in concert, in coaching — it all comes back to connection, freedom, and joy. I bring years of working as an opera singer,training in Tao, Tantra, and the Wheel of Consent.

I would love to support you on your path.

I recently had a voice session with Anne. I have a lot of experience with body-oriented work, but I had never used the voice as a point of entry before.

In a very simple lying-down exercise, Anne invited me to let my voice be heard as I exhaled and to truly let go. It felt vulnerable, and space opened up in my chest, and a stream of pleasant feelings, associations, memories, and warmth arose in my body. A rich experience that allowed the vulnerability in my throat to find a place within the broader and safer flow of life within me!

Anne is able to provide a very solid, calm foundation. Her space is pleasant and grounded, just like she is. Anne guides very intuitively; she is highly sensitive and engaged, and allowed me to discover step by step where the session was heading. In doing so, she provided gentle guidance based on her expertise. That felt really good because autonomy is very important to me. Anne started from my own inner wisdom, which made me feel empowered in my self-healing capacity and in following my own flow.

Voice Liberation Session
More than one year ago I heard about Anne and here work, voice liberation.
For years, my vocal cords and my throat, are my "weak spots".
So, Figueiró dos Vinhos seamed to me , the place to be.

By now I know, Anne's work is so much more, then just voice related.
She offers the possibility to opens up your voice and everything else of you that needs to open up/loosen up.
Her work is to support you, to guide you, to lift you to a next level.
For that she uses her tools, her own voice, her beautiful instruments like several drums, harmonium, piano, bells etc. She has a large set of shamanic tools as well.

Anne knows exactly when to introduce the means you need.

Might she be a shaman?!

Go and see her, without expectations about the looks and feels of the session, because what occurs will unpredictable and always different. Just be curious, let yourself be surprised. The possibility that you will head home, a lot lighter and with some answers, is real. I am grateful for the day I heard about Anne.

Voice Liberation Session
I am pregnant with my second child and recently joined one of Anne's voice liberation sessions for pregnant women.

Anne's incredibly sensitive way of holding space for both the group and each individual, combined with her deep knowledge and intuitive guidance, allowed me to experience a connection between voice, breath, and body that I hadn't known before. Through simple, gentle practices and collective mantra singing we returned to our breath, found our authentic sigh, and gradually gave ourselves permission to explore our voices without pressure or performance.

It was a deeply beautiful experience, and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Voice liberation for pregnant woman.
My Winter Solstice day with Anne felt deeply nurturing, inspiring, and beautiful. The care with which she held the day made me feel very safe and supported.
From meeting her family members at the door (so we knew who was in the house), to the beautiful arrangement of the room, the herbal teas, and the delicious food offered, everything was imbued with love and great care.
I especially enjoyed the opening of the day with the magnificent drum, invoking the Elements as intuitively guided by Anne.

Working in pairs with reflective questions about the past year was profound and created a deep sense of intimacy among the participants.
Anne’s meditation, held in her warm, cosy, and exquisite living room, once again made me feel safe and in very good hands.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this inspiring, loving, and transformational day with Anne to anyone.
I am already booking for next year.
With deep gratitude and many blessings for your future ventures.

Anne has a wonderful ability to hold space with warmth, presence, and sensitivity.
Her gatherings can be deeply emotional, energetic, and transformative, yet she balances this beautifully with fun, laughter, and lightness.
She guides people with great care, making everyone feel safe, seen, and supported throughout the experience.

Anne also held the space for my birthday celebration with 23 women, and she did so effortlessly and beautifully.
Her calm presence, intuition, and experience created an atmosphere where everyone could relax, connect, and fully enjoy the occasion.

What I particularly love about Anne's work is her creativity and unique style.
Every gathering feels thoughtfully held and deeply personal.
