Professional Singers and Artists
Do you want to...
- bring out your best voice?
- perform with confidence?
- improve your mental health?
Imagine if...
You felt in control of your voice and were able to sing in an easy, intuitive way... even when nervous!
You had powerful tools designed specifically for you to improve your mental wellness as an artist
You had a beautiful, authentic, unique vocal sound that made you stand out from other singers
You were able to publicly perform feeling confident & in the flow, without your inner critic getting in the way
You sang with such raw emotion, passion and dynamic energy, that you'd really WOW your audience
You were able to show up as your best self and gracefully navigate any curve balls regarding your voice and career
Yeah, would be pretty incredible, right?
Well, give us a few months, and this could actually be your reality.
The Vocal Psychology® Program provides you the tools & techniques to achieve all of the above, and more.
Wait...
Did someone tell you that singing is only reserved for the naturally gifted??
Girl! Ab-so-lute-ly not.
Singing is a skill.
(that you can learn)
But mostly, it's a mindset.
(that you can learn)
Why a healthy mind is essential to your singing success
This might sound crazy, but MOST of the challenges you face as a singer have an emotional source.
(Yup, not just your performance challenges - such as stage fright, feeling paralyzed, or suddenly forgetting how to breathe when you get nervous -, even your TECHNICAL challenges, such as that annoying voice crack or wobbly falsetto).
Muscles react to our thoughts & beliefs... Poor mental health and self-limiting beliefs ('I can't do it', 'that note is too high', 'I'm embarrassed', etc) create negative tension in your body.
An empowering mindset and positive self-talk will encourage your body to become a more resonant space.
This means you'll finally be able to APPLY healthy vocal technique. Finally you'll be able to produce a soulful, unique sound & give a meaningful, emotional performance.
Singing is
20% skills
80% mindset Welcome to
The Vocal Psychology® Program
The Vocal Psychology® Program is a private online coaching program of 44 sessions in 12 months, designed to help you sing with ease, soul, confidence and personality.
We are here to turn singers into confident performers.
Each week, you'll be given new technical and/or emotional insights to fully develop your voice, your performance & your mindset.
By the end of the 12 months, you'll have a complete technical framework AND a psychological toolbox to help you tackle *anything* that gets in the way of your beautiful & free singing voice (including the things you keep getting stuck on right now).
(Regardless of your level of stage experience, number of followers, or current knowledge of voice technique.)
The Vocal Psychology Program® is designed to make issues such as voice cracks, stage fright, volume issues & throat tension a thing of the past...
...and make flawless mixed voice, healthy breath control, impressive runs & belt notes, a beautiful & unique tone, and an absolutely compelling delivery your new normal.
All without feeling limited by your inner critic, shyness, nerves, insecurities or feelings of embarrassment.
You'll learn absolutely everything you need to know and do, to sing with your best voice and perform at your full potential.
Between sessions, we set you up with plenty of helpful tools to make progress on your own. Audio exercises, a guided daily warmup, worksheets, you name it...
And if you run into any questions or feel 'stuck', we've got you! Your personal daily practice sheet will help you collect all your challenges, which we will then unpack and find solutions for during our sessions.
But that's not all...
Our unique focus is on your *emotional* experience of singing. If you are "winning" the external game (releasing songs, performing regularly, gaining momentum in your career) but you feel depressed, anxious, intimidated, not deserving, fearful of losing it all, or stressed in any other way... you haven't achieved true success yet.
We want you to feel successful on YOUR terms, and accomplish your internal goals. That means we will define together how you want to FEEL on stage, in the studio, collaborating with other people, winning that Grammy award...
We're here for you every step of the way.
The Vocal Psychology® Program is the perfect combination of vocal technique, performance coaching & mental health support!
And that's why we are achieving amazing results.
Success Stories
Is This You?
- You are a (semi-) professional singer and/or artist but you're not quite sure how to make the absolute most of your gift
- You don't like the sound of your voice, you don't feel like a great performer, and/or you just don't feel *special* enough as an artist
- There are technical things you haven't quite mastered yet (e.g. powerful mixed voice, healthy breath control, effortless belt notes, easy runs, etc)
- You are not showing the world ALL that you're capable of - you know there is more in you as a vocalist and a performer, but you don't know exactly how to unleash it...
- You've done some interesting things already as a singer and/or artist, but there is a whole 'nother level that you are determined to reach
- You compare yourself to other artists and feel like you don't measure up
- Your inner critic is holding you back, and you tend to beat yourself up over it
- You don't feel 100% confident about your voice & your performance, and sometimes you even question if you have what it takes at all...
...but at the same time, you *just* know:
'THIS IS WHAT I AM MEANT TO DO'
Yes, you are good enough.
Your dreams are not naive or unrealistic.
You just need the right tools, the right technique and the right mindset. The Vocal Psychology® Program is designed specifically for you.
Vocal Psychology® IS more than 'just' vocal coaching
| teaches you vocal and breathing technique but doesn't focus on what is really blocking you, and why | teaches you vocal and breathing technique, and helps you figure out the source of your challenges |
| doesn't analyze with you why it can be challenging to APPLY technique when you are nervous / tired / uncomfortable | offers tools to sing & perform anywhere & under any circumstance, even when you're nervous / tired / uncomfortable |

| often doesn't speak from real life music industry experience or sometimes doesn’t even have notable experience as a performer | speaks from real life experience on stage and in the recording studio, music industry situations / pressures, etc |
| no concrete help with challenges that you face as a singer | concrete help with studio and stage performance, including how to prevent and/or manage 'mistakes', nerves, talking to your audience, improvizing, and anything else that may feel like a challenge in studio or stage setting |
| assumes that better technique will magically give you more confidence but doesn't teach you HOW to overcome the mindset obstacles that sabotage your voice & performance | very focused on cultivating a success mindset, so that you feel ready to perform with confidence under any circumstance |
| isn't goal-driven, no measurement of results | sets measurable goals and subgoals with you |
| doesn't have a good way to track your development, nor for you to clearly see your progress | offers helpful tools to track your internal and external progress |
| mainly focuses on basic techniques, such as creating volume and singing with power | focused on the basics, such as creating volume, mixed voice and singing with power, but also on more refined techniques such as runs, falsetto, storytelling, emotional delivery |
| talks about finding your voice (which sometimes doesn't even feel like YOUR voice...) | we don't try to 'find' your voice, but rather teach you how to ALLOW and polish your natural, authentic voice |
VOCAL PSYCHOLOGY® gives you the tools to not only be an excellent singer, but also a confident performer. A compelling artist. A happier human being.
Here's what you get
1:1 Mentorship
We hold weekly private video calls to provide in-depth coaching for your specific voice. We work towards your big singing goals, and work on removing what's in the way to achieving them.
Next level technique
Vocal technique, explained in a way that's easy to understand. Your voice is GORGEOUS. If you don't sound the way you want to sound, you just haven't found the right technique yet. We keep going until it clicks and you really GET it. Not only that, we're going to go to the root cause of why certain things feel challenging.
Reframe limiting beliefs
Certain thoughts & beliefs (such as perfectionism or imposter syndrome) create tension in your body, and that tension makes it challenging to sing in a healthy way. We'll give you tools to cultivate a strong success mindset that makes singing easy and helps you achieve your goals.
Ready to dive deep?
We use techniques rooted in psychology & NLP, so... don't be surprised if you experience a lot of self-healing along the way.
However, it's not therapy: everything we do is in service of your voice.
Find your unique sound
With your authentic voice as the foundation, we help you find new ways of using your voice until you find a 'sound', a tone and a way of emoting that feels right. We experiment with different textures and frequencies, but always always ALWAYS honor your natural voice.
Concrete & measurable goals
We set measurable goals, make progress in your tempo AND offer a simple & effective way to track that progress. But we don't stop there: I want you to understand the WHY underneath your goals. What are you reeeeeally longing for? We define all the steps we need to take to get there, and set you up for success on your terms.
Perform with confidence
We help you trust your voice, so you can perform with confidence, joy and freedom! You'll learn how to make being on stage a fun and empowering experience for yourself, even when you're nervous, tired or sad AND we'll give you the tools to create a magical experience for your audience... every time!
Here's what happens when you apply
You fill out a simple application form
You receive a scheduling link (where you can book a free intro session with me).
During this intro session - the Strategy Session - we talk about your goals & challenges,
and you get to ask me all about the program.
If we both feel that we're a good match, I'll invite you to join the program.
If we are not 100% sure that we’re a match, I’ll still point you in the right direction of where you want to go and we will part ways.
So you've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Meet Your Coach
Hey, I’m Maru - creator of Vocal Psychology®, a results-driven approach to mastering both your voice and mindset.
I know what it’s like to battle the inner critic as you pursue your creative goals. Leveling up when the stakes are high? I’ve been there!
The short version:
I started my career as a psychologist in the Netherlands, working at a training company that helped people reach their goals by making their behavior more efficient and effective. But...music pulled me in a different direction. So, I jumped off the “safe” path and straight into the deep end of the music industry.
In 2011, I signed with Sony Music Publishing, worked with legendary producers, performed internationally, and had my own music videos and chart-topping releases. Wild, right??
What I learned?
Even the most seasoned, talented artists struggle with the same things:
- Stage fright that won’t quit
- Impostor syndrome creeping in at the worst moments
- That voice in your head whispering, “You’re not enough”
I realized technique isn’t enough—your mindset is everything.
That’s why I built Vocal Psychology®—to help high-achieving singers and speakers rewire their thinking, break through creative blocks, and finally perform with genuine confidence.
Whether you’re speaking to a packed auditorium or performing on a world stage, I’ll help you find that sweet spot where preparation meets courage, where discipline meets freedom, and where your unique sound becomes unforgettable. I’m here to help you bring out the best in your voice, and yourself.
Ready to shine? Let’s do this.

Your Alternatives
Traditional vocal coaching|
(you'll learn about technique, maybe a little performance coaching, but definitely no in-depth mindset coaching)
Mindset coaching
(you'll get mindset coaching, but definitely no voice training)
Follow your own path
(watch a million Youtube tutorials, read books & articles, and put small pieces of - often conflicting - information together to figure out your singing & performing formula. This is what I did... but maaaan, it took a REALLY long time)
What some of my CURRENT CLIENTS have to say about taking the leap:
After my first Vocal Psychology® session, I stayed because of how kind, loving and gentle she was, how comfortable Maru made me feel, and how much I learned. I was hooked.
Vocal Psychology® client
Don't think twice. The Vocal Psychology® Program will help you in every way, not only as a singer, but as a human. Maru is both an amazing vocal coach and life coach. She can make everyone feel safe and loved, to see their worth and find their voice.
Vocal Psychology® client
The Vocal Psychology® Program definitely is not only about singing - it involves body and soul equally. I'm really happy that I can call Maru my coach, because I can be super open with her. We work together on getting the best out of my individual potential (instead of trying to become a copy of someone else).
Vocal Psychology® client
I'm so happy I signed up for the Vocal Psychology® Program; I wasn't sure it would be worth the money, but it has exceeded my best expectations! I seem to have a breakthrough every time we meet. It's very exciting to feel such rapid progress.
