Training
Nicola offers individual training & mentoring for singing teachers. She also runs courses for training singers and teachers in applied anatomy, vocal technique and movement with new approaches to embodied singing.
Nicola provides a safe space for singing and spoken voice teachers to add to their existing knowledge in a way that their students will find immediately useful. Her work is based on years of research and her teaching both thorough and respectful of the teachers’ existing experience. I would encourage any spoken voice or singing coach, who wants to add valuable new tools, to take her courses.
“Nicola is a great presenter; clear, concise and engaging.

Embodima
Nicola has been working with neuroscientists and anatomists in London, Oxford and Wales to create the most efficient and successful training programme for singers.
She has co-authored and researched extensively with the neuro-anatomist Dr Alan Watson at Cardiff University.
What current teacher trainees are saying:
“Fascinating, instant results, informative and fun.”
“Great balance between practical and theory. Clear and simple instructions, I was surprised how quickly I could implement them in my own body and voice.”
“I had the confidence to take Embodima straight into my own teaching and with my whole choir yesterday. Its brilliant, instant and highly effective.”
Embodima
Nicolas has worked for 14 years to develop specific tools that enable embodied singing. She has presented this material at national and international voice conferences with uptake of the training in Europe, USA and Australia.
