With viola performance and teacher certification degrees from The University of Washington, I have worked in public and private schools in the US, India, and Sweden for 20 years, creating community and empowering people with music. I have taught music lessons at all levels, but I am especially talented at helping beginner or intermediate students to master their skills of holding the instrument in such a way as to play without pain and therefore get a more beautiful sound out of the instrument. I have taught ages 5-adult and at one time had a private lessons studio in the US of 50 students per year. While I was living in the Seattle area, my orchestra programs were recognized as among the top in Washington state. I was invited to judge solo and ensemble competitions in the area and be a guest teacher with other prominent orchestras. I had many students win regional competitions and perform in Washington All-State Orchestra and All-Northwest orchestras. I sing, write and arrange music that has been performed for school events, culture festivals, regional church conference, and the 2013 USA national church conference for Community of Christ. I moved from the US to Sweden in 2015, and live with my Swedish husband and we now have a young child. We enjoy sharing our love of jazz and classical music and dancing lindy hop and balboa.

I am certified as a music educator and fertility coach. Creativity coaching is a process of combining life coaching with music practices to help empower your voice, free up your creativity, and give birth to your next project. Whether you are trying to conceive a child, need to work through grief from a loss, or are starting a new business in the creative field, contact me and let's see if we would be a good fit to work together. I love helping clients to create songs to help unleash their creative energy. I also work to help with relieving anxiety in a natural way so that you can better pursue all the things you are passionate about.
