""I sought out Carol as my mentor into sound healing & vocal training as part of my own spiritual process to combine my spiritual gifts with music. My first session with Carol was effortless. She encompassed: meditation, sound healing, breath work, and vocal training to get a full spectrum of where I was spiritually in my process and musically. I showed her my past work, my compositions, performances and voice. It was not only thought provoking but a certain validation I could only get from a professional in the industry. I’m so grateful to Carol and I look forward to my next vocal training with her."
