So...at the start of 2010 just after moving to London, I decided to take action!
I was apprehensive yet determined to get back into singing as I had zero confidence, suffering from stage fright and I wasn't entirely sure I sounded any good anymore!
I managed to find a local Teacher (Sandra Scott) who was also qualified in Holistic Therapy and Counselling. I naturally gravitated towards her and it was one of the best decisions I'd made.
Sandra was uber friendly, chatty, kooky, reassuring, a great teacher, effective vocal techniques and the rest! One of the best parts about seeing Sandra was her ability to sit you down on her extraordinarily low comfy sofa before every lesson and off load about absolutely anything that's on your mind, which in turn allowed me to have a positively calm lesson, free of angst - and an overall chipper day.
She is someone I hold dearly in my heart, she re-opened my eyes, mind and voice to singing and music.

I left every lesson feeling inspired but after the 12th (final) lesson I hit the same brick wall.
I rapidly became to scared to gig, ashamed to get back in touch with Sandra, which led to being unmotivated yet still full of my unwavering desire to perform.
Typically I had an epiphany which lead me down a completely different path - THE CIRCUS!...
No sorry, I didn't quite make it to running away with them but I 'applied' to a Circus School. Haha!!
It didn't turn out to be for me but it lead me to Aerial Hoop, which I do every now and then, which is nice! :)
It in fact took me another year to take the biggest leap yet......
