Testimonials
"Thank you for the beautiful new territory you took me into last night! I have a wounding around music, especially related to expressing feelings (my mother was depressed, alcoholic, singing the blues all the time when I was growing up.) I figured out that a source of my inability to speak up for myself may have come directly from those early childhood experiences. Last night you brought REAL play into toning sweet sounds — I love that there were no real words and I loved the movement! Thank you so much for the incredible session!"

“Working with Heather and Vocal Play Lab changed my relationship to my voice - literally and figuratively. I have never experienced such an alive, healing, inventive, laughter-filled musical space! ."
— Kim S, Professor, Workshop Participant
"I grew in my confidence and heard my voice in a brand new way. Honestly, I think tonight’s class is going to make me a better lover! And what a great way to practice my edges. It was just so fun to sing in a community again. It’s been WAY to long since I’ve done that. I love how experiential everything was. You brought us in slowly and by the end, I even felt comfortable enough to sing louder and prouder. You have such a beautiful presence and a lovely voice and it’s obvious you really care about people. Thank you for introducing me to this new activity. I’m all in for connection, playfulness and community!"

"The warm smile...the sincere effort...the endless energy.. the infectious enthusiasm...the perpetual praise...the unbridled emotion...the coaching, mentoring.. the unconditional care and support. These are but a few of Heather's notable and extraordinary traits, styles and skills. For her, it's obviously more than a 'job' or 'career.' It's a calling, a passion, a consuming effort. Those who interact with her leave enriched from the experience. I thank God our whole family came to know and appreciate her!"
