We are creating a vortex of sound and safety for all participants.
We honor and encourage YOU to be YOU.
Inside Liberate Your Voice:
You will learn Body-Supported Singing and how your instrument works, learning the intricacies of how to create the vocal sound that you long for. Your new-found knowledge and experience shapes your ability to sing and grows your confidence to express from the heart.
You will experience Somatic Shamanic practices to calm the body and regulate the nervous system - practices that you can use everytime you are at the edge of your comfort, leaping in a new direction that you know you have to try, but it's scary!
You experience the vibration of singing sacred mantras and medicine songs from around the world. We learn these mantras as a path to transform our state of being anytime we desire. Deepening your relationship with these sacred songs brings you closer to your authentic self, your confidence and your heart.
You will radically re-write the story of your voice. Using the wisdom of Internal Family Systems (IFS), you will get to know the nervous, critical or insecure parts of you that arise when sharing your voice. Overcome and unburden these parts, write a new singing story and sing from your authentic, grounded, calm self.
You will practice being centered in the body, earth and soul so that your experience of sharing your vocal offering feels joyful and freeing. Experience surfing the creative energy flowing through you and expressing yourself in your fullest!
You will consciously practice letting go of perfection and meeting your inner-critic. Being creative often means having an inner critic who demands perfection. You put yourselves down, speak to yourselves harshly and even despise yourselves for your perceived 'messing up' or 'not getting it just right.'
You will co-create a supportive and safer space, where you are free to share your voice however it may sound.
Your voice is needed in the world.
NOW AND ALWAYS.

lib·er·a·tion
There is a space inside so tender and free, authentically YOU.
Together we work to unpack and transform limiting beliefs and stories so you can share your authentic voice and expression.
Singing is our birthright and everyone can express themselves with their voice! But here's the truth - not everyone feels comfortable singing or has the freedom to express.
Many of us have stories, beliefs and experiences around our voice that keep us playing small and staying quiet.
Here's what I know as a vocal empowerment coach: I hear the same thing from people over and over again when they work with me on opening their voice: it's easier to stay small. It's easier to stay quiet and even silent because sharing our voice can bring fears of judgment, ridicule - even rejection.
Babe, I'm here to tell you that thinking this way is universal. Quieting our voice to stay safe has been a universal human experience, especially for marginalized populations and people. Women, transgender, people of color have experienced pressure to stay quiet to simply save their lives. You are not alone in your experience.
We've been shut down, put down and even persecuted for sharing our voices.
Here - it's safe to let your wild voice shine. I've got you.
The time is here now for you to step a different story of your voice.
Where it's okay to be heard, no matter if your voice cracks. A story where you can share your voice - whatever that sounds like - even if your body trembles at first. A story where what you have to share is integral to your liberation, your happiness, your fulfillment in this lifetime - and it's too precious to keep quiet any longer.

Questions about Liberate Your Voice?
Makaysha is a very intuitive teacher who made me feel at ease with a deep process...something I don’t usually feel while using my voice in such a deep way. She helped me to unlock some emotions that I hadn’t been able to get to by myself. I’m not sure whether to categorize her as a voice coach or a healer, or both? I don’t play an instrument, but she plays several which was nice as I prefer to sing with musical accompaniment. - CW
What can I say about Liberate Your Voice? I wasn't even sure that I could sing, let alone in front of anyone! It took all my courage to participate in the Liberate Your Voice course and absolutely loved it! Makaysha was so supportive and gently guided the whole class through a wonderful immersive experience. I am a much better singer because of it. And I finally felt free to sing on stage in front of others and complete a huge life goal! - SC
Makaysha is an incredible teacher who provides emotional support as you learn to free your authentic voice. I felt extremely empowered, safe, and able to learn the technical skills I needed, as well as, encouragement to sing from my heart. I loved her gentle manner and wealth of knowledge so much that I’ve taken two courses with her. Highest recommendation! - KG
Liberate Your Voice was so much more than singing per se. It was about bringing my inner self out in my voice and releasing tensions that hold me back in all areas of my life. - MM
The course was just wonderful.
A great combination of encouragement, inspiration, technique, tools, community support, kind reflection, practice, and love. The one on one session was very helpful. I got more out of this short course than out of two years of singing lessons I took years ago. - RH
I was immediately drawn to participate when I got the offer to join Liberate Your Voice. But at the same time, I was on the fence. I had a lot going on in my personal life, and I was also hesitant to invest the money. WOW! I am so glad I did. I loved every minute of Liberate Your Voice. It was so well structured, and Makaysha is a fantastic teacher. She is gentle and fierce and brings out the best in everyone. I felt so safe exploring my voice in the container she had created. The other participants were also WONDERFUL! I feel like I have made friends for life. I learned so much and had tons of fun exploring my voice. The name is true: I feel like I was able to liberate my voice! I feel much more confident in my singing voice and myself. It was so empowering! I love the combination of learning vocal techniques, healing the parts of me stuck in a trauma response related to singing and learning to be comfortable singing with and in front of others. I have highly recommended this course to others and will keep doing so, even if it's just for yourself and you have no desire to be a "singer," you won't regret it! I wish every person on the planet could do this course and get in touch with the innocence and joy of their voice. -KLN
I feel that Liberate Your Voice helped me find my voice! I had never sang in front of anyone (and couldn't even imagine doing it), but by the end of the course, I had both composed a song and sung a song in front of the class participants. It was a truly important moment, and I look forward to growing and practicing with my voice even more. -JB
My Name is Makaysha
My passion and purpose is to support YOU to Liberate Your Voice!
From the time I was a young girl, singing into a hairbrush in my bedroom, I knew that I had a special connection to my voice and singing. But I was terrified of singing in front of others. The idea of getting up on stage paralyzed me with anxiety. I felt like I would never be "good enough" to show myself, my voice, my songs. Being seen was too terrifying to confront. The pain of holding it in and staying small and silent became too much to bear…and I started taking risks and sharing my voice.
Now, I LOVE to sing and lead people in song, on-stage, off-stage, anywhere!
I’m devoted to supporting humans to open their voices, especially those who feel like they can’t do it. I’m here to show you that you CAN do it!
As a Vocal Empowerment Coach, I offer support and guidance as you journey towards greater self-expression and vocal freedom. As an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-Informed and Trauma-Informed Coach, I can journey with you to the pain or discomfort you may feel around your voice and singing, and together we can write a new story of your liberated voice.
I’ve led many lives in this one short life, including Vocal Empowerment Coach, music teacher, massage therapist, mama, rock-n-roll wannabe star, lead and harmony singer in bands and most recently - Kirtan leader, professional recording artist and conscious music creator.
Singing Kirtan - devotional and sacred chanting - has completely changed the way I approach singing. Instead of singing to perform for other people - I now experience singing as an offering of what is real and true for me. I discovered that leading others in singing Kirtan and sacred songs is one of my favorite experiences. As our voices and breath unify, and we chant together with intention, I experience the sacred within myself, fully accessible, present within.
I love to sing with people - onstage, offstage, in circles and in ceremonies and as a Vocal Empowerment Coach. I have spent years developing Body-Supported Singing Techniques, vocal activation practices and somatic shamanic practices to support a calm and centered space while singing - and I want to share them all with you.
