Why I Created Vocal Love Club: A Course for Singers Who Are Ready to Heal & Go For Their Dreams

I’ve loved singing for as long as I can remember. But my journey with my voice hasn’t always been easy.

I grew up in a world of Eisteddfods—local singing competitions. I was praised when I did well, but I also learned early on what it meant to freeze in fear.

I had my first experience of anxiety around the age of eight, realising I had a mountain of songs to learn and no idea how to push through the fear of not being good enough. I started procrastinating. A well-meaning teacher even nicknamed me "Gonna Lathouras"—because I was always overpromising when it came to the work I was going to do and not even getting close to my goals.

And over time, I started losing trust in myself. I said I wanted to be a singer, but I couldn’t follow through. Not because I didn’t care—but because I cared too much.

For years, singing felt like a job. A competition. A performance that was never quite perfect. Add to that growing up in regional Queensland in the 90s—where comments about my body (I was a bigger bodied kid) were made constantly, from well-meaning adults—and I internalised one core belief: I’m not “normal” and was never quite enough.

Even when I found my way back to music in my 20s—joining bands, moving to London, trying again—I carried that anxiety like a shadow. I’d wing performances and sometimes even do well. But I never felt grounded. I was disconnected from my voice, from my joy, from any real sense of belonging to music.

When I finally got into jazz school, I thought maybe I’d made it. But studying at a tertiary level only amplified that internal noise. I suffered performance anxiety at almost every assessment. I never felt like I could show up as myself. And when I developed vocal nodules during my Masters - I felt like a massive failure.

I thought: Maybe everyone was right. Maybe I’m not cut out for this.

But deep down, something in me wasn’t ready to give up.

I hit a rock bottom after burning out completely while studying for my education post grad. I wasn’t performing. I didn’t feel like myself. I was teaching singing at the same time but secretly thinking, Who am I to coach anyone when I don’t even believe in my own voice?

I knew things had to change and it had to come from me.

That’s when I rediscovered Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)—a somatic tapping practice I’d first been introduced to in London. And for the first time, I felt like I had a tool that could meet me where I was. Not with judgement. Not with pressure. But with love.

I started using EFT to regulate my nervous system. To soothe the panic before singing. To rewire the shame I’d internalised for decades. And little by little, my voice came back—not just physically, but emotionally. Spiritually.

I started performing again. I sang at WOMAdelaide and NGV. I co-created an all-femme jazz group. I started performing under my own name at venues around Brisbane, including the Brisbane Jazz Club and three years ago I co-created Girl From Greece. We sold out two shows at QPAC.

And most importantly, I created Fearless Singer—a space where other singers could feel seen, validated and learn the somatic practices that have helped me heal and now thrive as a singer and multipassionate creative entrepreneur.

And now, I’ve created Vocal Love Club—a short, powerful course that brings together the most supportive tools I know: gentle vocal function work so you can show up for your voice daily, mindset rewiring with EFT Tapping Sessions that will not only facilitate emotional healing but bring about the transformation you desire.

This isn’t just about hitting the right notes. It’s about coming home to your voice. It’s about learning how to love your sound, not in spite of its imperfections, but because of them.

If you’ve ever:

• Avoided singing because you’re scared it won’t be good enough
• Wanted to build a practice but felt overwhelmed by pressure
• Been told you’re “too old,” “too behind,” or “too sensitive”
• Felt like your voice doesn’t belong in the room

…then Vocal Love Club is for you.

I created this for the version of me who needed a soft, steady place to start again. And I created it for you, too.

Join Vocal Love Club and come back to your voice—with love.
