Imagine if...
You could sing in an eeeeasy, intuitive way

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 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 absolute 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, that we will then unpack and find solutions for during our sessions.
And that's not all...
We make sure to focus your emotional experience of singing. If you are "winning" the external game (releasing songs, performing regularly, gaining momentum in your career) but you feel intimidated, not deserving, fearful of losing it all, or stressed in any other way... our work is not done.
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.
We're here for you every step of the way.
(Yes, we make it pretty hard for you to fail.)
The Vocal Psychology® Program is the perfect combination of technical information, emotional support & fun!
And that's why we are achieving amazing results.
Success Stories
Is This You?
- You know you have potential as a singer, and/or artist but you are not quite sure how to make the most of your gifts
- You sometimes wonder if you're a *real* singer and whether you truly belong on stage (even when you're already a professional performer & people adore you!)
- When you sing, you feel tension in your throat as if you're straining too much
- There are technical things you haven't quite mastered yet, (powerful mixed voice, healthy breath control, effortless belt notes, easy runs, etc), and maybe you even tell yourself that that's 'just your voice'
- You are not showing the world ALL that you're capable of: you're not performing as regularly as you'd like, you don't love your voice on recordings, you're not singing loud & proud the way you know you could... (yet), etc.
- You compare yourself to other artists and feel like you don't measure up
- Insecurities are 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 on a deep level 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

| 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 |

Here's what you get
1:1 Mentorship
We hold weekly private video calls to give 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.

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.
Yeah... It can get deep.
We use techniques rooted in psychology & NLP, so... don't be surprised if you're gonna experience some 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, 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.

Success Stories
Meet Your Coach
You're probably curious who is going to dive into your deepest darkest secrets with you, and help you overcome your greatest fears & insecurities? Who is going to guide you towards excellence and awesomeness??
Hi! I'm MARU, and I created the Vocal Psychology program. Why? Because it's exactly the program I wish I had had when I felt insecure as a singer... Trust me, I *know* how it feels to be you.
After obtaining my Master's Degree in Cognitive Psychology, I could no longer deny that music was my real passion in life.
I quit my job as a psychologist and started my own personal development journey. I took lessons from the best singing teacher in the country AND used the knowledge and experience to train my mindset.
I learned how to sing like a good singer, but -maybe even more importantly- I learned how to THINK like a good singer.
Because of this combination, I was able to create success for myself.
I signed with Sony/ATV in 2011 as a singer/songwriter. Since then, I have been blessed enough to work at the most iconic recording studios, with top producers, artists and songwriters - people I've looked up to since I was a little girl. I've performed all over the world, released international songs under major labels, had songs in heavy rotation on national radio, starred in my own music videos, have done things I could only dreeeeeam of a few years prior to my radical career switch, and...
I have also has successfully coached hundreds of singers (beginners and professionals) since 2008, to follow *their* dreams.
I noticed something fascinating when I was working with these singers: technique was only a small part of what my clients really needed in order to grow. There were constant discoveries of self-limiting beliefs that we absolutely had to address before we could go to a next level vocally. The obstacles were mostly between the ears.
Out of this need, the Vocal Psychology® coaching program was born. This new way of thinking about singing changed my life in a spectacular way, and the vocal coaching system that developed from it has profoundly helped my students as well. I'm committed to bringing out the best in each unique voice and person. And I would love for you to start giving yourself permission to shine. To have the courage to get out of your comfort zone, and find out what magical things you are capable of!

Your Alternatives
Traditional vocal coaching|
(you'll learn about technique, mayyyybe a little surface level 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.
