Working with Elle has been a game changer! I’ve been singing professionally for over 30 years, an an artist, performer and songwriter, learning positive tips, and unlearning the not so great ones throughout this wild ride. Elle’s speech pathology, expertise, vocal coaching skills and being a vocalist herself is the triple threat I didn’t know I was looking for but so needed! In laymen’s terms she explains the science and physiology so eloquently, vocalises any given exercise that will make a fundamental difference so clearly, AND because she sings gorgeously for a living as well, can fully appreciate the psychology behind singing, and how our negative emotions can be tamed, and how we own the space and seriously kick some butt.

Recently Elle was someone I called on multiple times a week for a very intense tour. I felt stronger and more focused with Elle in my corner. Whilst my voice has taken me to great heights, I’ve had my fair share of vocal challenges, be it technical or even the trust I could deliver, every night. Elle’s holistic approach from tangible, daily recommendations to her broad self compassion/self assuring self talk practices are transformational! I’ve already recommended Elle to so many emerging and established vocalists. The kicker? She’s a GREAT, cool and FUN chick, too.
"ELLE IS AMAZING!! I have visited Elle in her clinic for Speech Pathology as well as private vocal lessons and I am so happy with the outcome. I have been singing for almost 20 years and unfortunately I had developed a lot of bad habits due to incorrect technique. Elle has taken the time to correct my voice as well as my singing technique to break the habits I developed so I’m not destroying my voice. Her bubbly and bright personality also makes every lesson a treat. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Elle. You will not be disappointed."​
"I could not recommend this course [The Vocal Educator Toolkit] more. Elle has an incredible knowledge on voice science and application and gives you tools you can INSTANTLY use in your studio. She is a gem. This course not only validated what I was already doing in my studio but it expanded my toolkit and gave me a huge confidence boost as a teacher."
"I found Elle after a bunch of my friends in the industry had been following her Instagram and was instantly drawn to her approach to singing, performance and longevity of the voice (not to mention also an SLP - huge game changer for me). I haven’t been working with her for long, and I already feel like I’m gaining life long tools to help me navigate my vocal career. I had an injury months before I started working with her, and had been maintaining my old habits out of fear of the unknown. Her patience and understanding with vocal injuries, and rehab is so refreshing and she creates such a safe space so you can feel open to try, and be not concerned about making better choices for yourself in the long-term. She IS the cheerleader and educator your voice NEEDS - I would highly recommend, and cannot wait to tackle more voice goals with her this year." Photo credit: Joseph Naim
