"When your voice brings you joy, you're the best of yourself" - Celine Dion
It was an amazing experience working with Deborah and just the step I needed to go further in my life: To decompress more, to let go more, to show more of me, I discovered my power and will continue now to discover how to be in the world with less effort, yet with pleasure! I learned about how fear is working in our systems and how to manage it to turn it around. All with acceptance and no judgement.
"Through Saskia's coaching, I’m finally discovering my own sound, my own voice, and I dare to be more myself when I sing. My shutters are finally opening. I’m so grateful for that... so more of that Sassy singing!"
