STUDIO INTENSIVES

CONTACT KIM

“Nobody does quite what Kim does – that reaching – reaching – for the very word. She understands that each word is alive and filled with its own purposes.”

​

 Renée Coleman, Phd,

Depth Psychologist and Author

"My work with Kim transformed me into the speaker and educator I’ve always wanted to be...From our first meeting I felt seen and known. Using writing, art, and truly imaginative role-playing exercises, we dove deep into known and unknown parts of me, allowing me to locate and fortify my innate strength and confidence..."

​

Sami Christensen, M.S.N

"Kim is a high priestess and poet of the voice. She has studied its secrets with reverence, passion, and deep intelligence, all of which are exquisitely revealed in her singing and teaching. I highly recommend both.”

Cyd Smith, Musician

ABOUT STUDIO INTENSIVES

When we consent to be rendered by what we

adore - what we find most beautiful - a path opens.

 

Customized private studio intensives are a good way to address a clear and specific expressive block or longing. If your inquiry feels vague, I can help. We can schedule a preliminary phone call so that we will both become more exact about your desire.

 

Intensives are helpful for students of any level - beginners and masters alike. There are two prerequisites, however: curiosity and the willingness to surprise yourself.

 

Using the no solos principles, I can help you to free and refine your voice in these disciplines: 

 

  • Writing

  • Singing

  • Harmony Singing

  • Public Speaking

  • Performance

  • Story Telling

 

Intensives happen in person, in my Seattle studio. Typically, we schedule two sessions a day for two or three days. You'll leave with sturdy practices that will enable you to coach yourself. Follow-up mentoring sessions by phone are available to help you integrate new capacities and insights.
