Singing in community settings

Jazz, folk, blues and soul to support memory, connection, release and joy for older adults.

I’ll soon be available to sing in small community settings – such as care homes, hospices, retirement housing and community centres.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity.”
— Billy Joel (1980s)

Availability

Coming soon

Usually available during the day on weekdays. I may also be able to do one-off evening or weekend sessions, though the price would be higher.

Yoga for older adults

I’m also a yoga teacher, osteoporosis aware and am able to run gentle chair and/or mat yoga sessions in these settings too if desired – either as a one-off or part of a regular wellbeing offer. I’m also a trained Yoga4Health PCI-accredited course provider (NHS & self referrals).
