BREATH, BODY, AND VOICE COACHING TO MAKE YOU STRONGER FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
For women and singers who want to feel strong even during the most tender transitions of their lives: pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and injury. Because strength isn’t something that’s built in the gym - it starts on the inside.​
Using breathwork, Integrative Alexander Technique, Dynamic Neural Stabilization techniques, functional movement, somatic and Yoga for Trauma practices, I guide you to connect with how your body is intended to function and how it feels to live with confidence, ease, and joy in a body that’s built for YOU.
"All bodies are good bodies... even if they don't always get things right."
- Madison
About my work
I spent most of my life dealing with pain. Growing up as a dancer and singer, I was always in tune with my body, but I didn't know how to work with it. No matter how many classes I took, no matter the personal trainer, no matter my skill with the exercise I was always pushing through some sort of pain. After I had my child, all those years of pushing my body finally caught up with me and I realized that I needed and wanted a different path forward.
​
Since then I've completely reshaped how I work with myself both as a singer and a mover. The deeper I dig into anatomy, function, neuroscience, and somatics the more I realize we've got it all wrong! As women, so much of our time and energy is focused on activities that make us smaller and thinner, but the truth is quite the opposite:
expansion is what makes us truly strong.
​
Developing a new approach to breathing and core support has allowed me to ease pain, increase strength and build confidence in what my body can do. Simply put, working with how my body is intended to function has made me stronger from the inside out. Now I'm sharing this experience and expertise with women and singers who want to feel strong even during the most tender transitions of their lives: pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, chronic illness and injury. Because strength isn’t something that’s built in the gym -- it starts on the inside.
​
My clients come to me for a range of reasons, but what brings me the most joy is seeing them light up when they realize the issues they’ve been having can often be solved with the simplest of fixes. Discovering what’s possible when you’re no longer held back by your body.
​
-
Learn breathing techniques to support the spine and ease chronic back pain.

Retrain jaw muscles to reduce tension associated with TMJD and post-surgical recovery.

Navigate vocal changes, chronic pain, and performance anxiety with trauma-informed practices to create ease, consistency, and excitement in their performing.

I believe every body is a good body and with a little bit of re-education you can uncover the strength and freedom already inside of you.

Client Reviews
I loved the workshop! This truly feels like a missing part of the ever-unfolding puzzle. I have severe scoliosis in my thoracolumbar spine, and the concept of expansion into the transverse abdominal hookup in the lower back is a big shift. It feels like I support my spine better that way and it also gives me connection of the breath, the TA and the pelvic floor. It feels like very profound work!
Judith
As a mother I rarely stop to assess to check in with myself - my focus lies to my children, my family, my students, my job. Madison showed the benefit of shifting my focus first within and then outward. I feel empowered to really look at what my needs and wants are in my career, to set boundaries and say no to what isn't serving me at this point in my life.
Kathryn
I just wanna say, that as a singer and mom of 7 & 10 year olds... You've reminded me that - even though I'm no longer immediately postpartum with wee babies - it's not too late for me to do some mental, emotional, and physical postpartum repair. I had convinced myself over the years to accept some of my issues as non reversible. Thank you!
