  • You'll have a new way to respond to your body when it's experiencing those performance jitters

  • You'll have several different approaches for the opening of your talk, so you can feel solid from the minute you start speaking (and maybe even look forward to starting your presentation).

This is for you!

I'm a public speaking coach, passionate about helping self-doubting experts speak with power and ease so they can change the rooms or zooms they are in - without self-doubt or losing precious sleep.

From scientists to entrepreneurs, executives to activists, doctors to TV chefs to artists - I have worked with a wide variety of individuals and companies who are making waves in their industries.

 

With my background as an actress and acting professor, I guide my clients to not just feel vibrant and confident but also able to deliver performances that leave a powerful impact.
