Hi! I'm Aliah

I'm a joyful, enthusiastic singing voice nerd - and I’m here to help singers find more confidence and ease in their singing than they ever thought possible. I’ve worked with over 100 singers, guiding them to discover their voices through 1-on-1 vocal coaching and mindset work. 

​

Wait, what? Mindset work? What does that have to do with singing?
​

Get your favourite snack and settle in… It’s a good story. 

​Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, masters degree in hand, I settled back into Saskatchewan life after 6 years away for music school…
 

At a desk job. *insert sad trombone*

Here’s the thing: I realized in music school that I wanted to teach singing as a career, but building a business takes time and I was moving to a brand new city where I knew exactly one person.

So, I took a job, putting in 40-hours a week at the most soul-sucking office I could imagine, and another 15 hours a week teaching music and directing a church choir in the evenings.

As it turns out, that is a fantastic recipe for burnout. Just one year out of grad school, my mental health took a major hit. And guess what else went downhill?

 

My voice. 

 

Yup! The very thing I spent the last 6 years working on for hours each day was now faltering. It was devastating. Singing wasn’t just something I did - it was who I was. 

 

Fresh out of grad school, I had an overflowing toolkit to fix my voice. I tried all the technical tips and tricks I knew. Occasionally, I could find glimpses of what my voice used to be, but my voice was still not performing the way I knew it could.

It was on the couch at therapy (talking about other life things), that I had a revelation: as my mental health improved, so did my voice.

That’s when it hit me…


The way we THINK has everything to do with the way we SING. 

 

Our voices are a part of us. They are deeply personal and individual. So, of course our singing voices reflect the way we feel.

 

After that aha moment, I dove in deep.

I quit my job (yay!) and bought a house with a space for a studio (double yay!)... on the exact same day (I know, wild!).

I began learning everything I could about the mind and the singing voice. I took courses on mindset and manifesting. I took courses on vocal pedagogy. I became a certified life coach. I became certified in the NeuroVocal Method ® - a groundbreaking approach to singing rooted in brain science and mindfulness. 

 

And HOLY MOLY. It has been life changing - not just for me, but for my clients. Time and time again, I’ve witnessed how the singing voice can be transformed by this powerful combination of vocal technique and mindset work.

Singers who never thought they could get up on stage - crushing their first performances. 

Singers who’d been told to stop singing - singing proudly and joyfully and reclaiming their voices. 

Singers like you - who want to trust their voice and unleash the confident singer within. 

 

Because here’s the truth: technique isn’t a magic wand that fixes every vocal problem. A singer can have flawless technique and still feel trapped by fear.

 

Singing is so much more than making pretty sounds. It’s about expressing yourself fully. It’s about being unafraid to be exactly who you are. It’s about connecting and story-telling. It’s about loving yourself and your voice. 

 

Here at Music Mindfully, we build confident singers from the inside out. It’s transformitive. It’s magical. And I’m so incredibly grateful to do this work and witness its lasting impact on people’s lives.
