Supporting all who wish to sing and connect with others.
I love the power of singing to make us feel as one and to bring a sense of well-being in these challenging times. For me this is part and parcel of building sustainable communities and I have a personal interest in low impact living.
As we know the voice, and the healing vibrations of sound, can transcend language and physical and mental barriers. When we share our voice with others, we nurture a sense of connection and belonging.
2026 marks another year of change for me…I have transitioned back to the land where I feel a deep sense of connection…Penwith, South West Cornwall.
With love and gratitude for what has grown from the seed I planted in 2023, I am blessed with Penwith Song Circle: a wonderful group of like-minded souls who support and nourish each other. We provide a safe space for letting go and simply go with the flow.
My singing journey began as a child – the usual school and church choirs but also musical theatre in Cheltenham; as an adult – folk clubs; workshops and various choirs along the way – most recently Glorious Chorus in Totnes with Helen Yeomans and Levow an Bys in Penzance with Pip Wright.
My songleading journey started in 2017, starting with a community choir in Shepton Mallet, Somerset after training with Susie Ro (Prater). My style of song leading continues to evolve, away from the traditional SATB approach to something more tribal, more fluid – encouraging folk to let go and sing from the heart, supported by my use of a medicine (frame) drum. Song Circle allows for all the things we can’t do in a more traditional choir setting which helps to remove anxiety and nurtures a sense of connection and belonging…welcomed by people who have never sung with a group before as well as experienced singers and I get to sing too!
Penwith Song Circle is all about heart healing, vocal liberation and community building.
Everyone is welcome – this is a friendly supportive group welcoming both experienced singers and those with less confidence who may be feeling anxious and or who have never sung with a group before.
We connect with self and others, the land and the sea – meeting in a relaxed and healing space close to Mount’s Bay.
We focus on breath – singing from the core and the heart, complementing yoga practice but with no experience necessary.
Our style and approach to singing is freestyle and informal. We introduce harmony and improvisation and simply go with the flow, exploring a variety of short songs, chants, mantras and rounds – inspired by cultures worldwide, including our own.

Feedback:
“no matter how I’m feeling when I arrive, I always leave feeling lighter and uplifted”
“It was so welcome and welcoming. I love the way you hold the space in the session – it’s just perfectly toned – wonderful – such a skill to manage it all with such a deft light touch … and gorgeous singing and songs. Big thanks and gratitude for all that you do.”
“Thank you so much for this morning. I was blown away. Loved it. Very much.”
