Sandra has supported me in being more compassionate, patient and present to myself personally and as a professional singer. Her understanding of dissonance being a way in to the body and connecting to the emotions has been congruent and supportive of my teaching of the singing voice. With a 
firm gentleness and passion, she creates a safe and non judgemental space to explore and move toward the often vulnerable and uncomfortable emotional heart of your being. This affirms my approach to the singing student in developing the ability to fully communicate through the emotional core.

With warmth, interest and clarity she helps us realize that this vulnerability is normal, human, healthy and freeing. It is easy to understand yet hard to put into action.
Her To Have and To Hold principles are enormously helpful, insightful and especially inspiring. I am a better person for Sandra's sharing of these principles. Look out world!
