Compassionate Voice
Singing and Breathwork for Health and Wellbeing
Hi, I am Claire.....
I am a singing and breathwork practitioner with a real passion for the health and wellbeing benefits of breath and voice.
I have spent the last 20 years developing and refining a compassionate, sensitive, mental health-informed teaching style.
I believe that this sensitive approach can facilitate exploration and transformation, helping to improve confidence and ease of both the voice and breath.
I offer one-to-one sessions in Singing and Breathwork from my
private studio based near the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire border. To find out more you can scroll down for a brief outline of sessions or click on the menu for more detailed information.
I also run group Breathwork classes for the general public, businesses and organisations. You can find out more details on these offerings by clicking here

I believe strongly that everyone has the potential to improve and, most importantly, enjoy their voice. I am dedicated to offering compassionate, mental health-informed sessions, individually tailored to each persons needs. I teach adults, young people and children (usually age 10+) and specialise particularly in female voice.
In 2024 I graduated with distinction, gaining a Masters in Voice Pedagogy, specialising in Singing for Health. My research informs my practice, facilitating sessions that are designed to offer potential therapeutic benefits for health and wellbeing.
Whether you are an experienced singer looking to progress, or a complete beginner, I offer a supportive, caring approach to nurture both your voice and your wellbeing.
"Having sung with Claire for five years (from the ages of 13-18) there was nothing I needed more at that pivotal time in my life .....Claire’s lessons helped me to break that perpetual cycle of self-doubt"
"After my trial lesson, I knew I had to continue my journey singing with Claire. I've had singing lessons before, but Claire's approach was different - and it worked the best for voice development and joy in making music"
​
“I no longer believe my mantra of 'I can't sing'! I'm really happy to have broken through a pain barrier in terms of letting myself sing. I've made some very positive leaps through your guidance and encouragement. Forever grateful!”
​
I am a certified Level 2
Breath-Body-Mind teacher. This programme of evidence-based breathwork and movement practices is trauma-informed and has been evidenced as promoting calm, reducing stress and balancing the nervous system.​
My years of performing and teaching singing have also informed my understanding of the breath.
Whether your focus is on reducing anxiety, helping sleeplessness or improving focus/energy levels, I can help you learn to breathe more effectively
"The session was everything I hoped it would be and more. I left feeling relaxed as well as energised for the day. Claire's lovely
nature will immediately make you feel welcome and at ease"
"A funny thing happened at circuit training on Thursday. I found myself breathing through my nose differently - without having consciously thought of doing it. This was the first class I've got through without coughing or wheezing"
​
"I have been working with Claire following surgery and during my long recovery....the techniques which she taught me have helped with confidence and listening to my body. I've found her to be kind and responsive to my needs and I would recommend her breathwork sessions to anyone needing to know more about the processes and practice of breathing"
