Hi, I’m Monifa Harris a Voice Coach and Singer.  I have a masters in opera performance, a history in biology pre-med and over a decade and a half of teaching experience. I am passionate about using the singing voice as a tool to build confidence, lower anxiety so that we can live life as our full selves and make a bigger impact.

This possibility became real for me while I was improving my voice and getting my first opportunities as a soloist.  I realized that I could use my knowledge of singing to speak clearly and confidently. Before that I would struggle to be heard and seen often having to repeat myself which caused me to be self conscious and anxious in public arenas. Through the years of singing and choosing to be heard I have sung before thousands and sold solar door to door, putting action to my passion for music and my I belief in renewable energy to take care of our Earth even while being a severe introvert.

My interest in singing has been a true gift to my life. It didn’t end with confidence, it helped me understand and believe in the principles of manifestation.  Alongside my interest in Functional Technique for singing my interest in energy being a universal force also grew. I gathered information on Pranic Healing (like Reiki) and Western, Chinese, Vedic, Kemetic Astrology.  This information allows me to layer archetypes and energetic cycles to better understand what the turning points of transformation are. I love peeking behind the curtain of process. The process of singing and manifesting is what I get to delve in and share with people everyday, the joyful beauty of singing and being a manifestor... How understanding breath cycles, creative cycles and life cycles can unblock creativity in every area of your life; allowing you to live a life of confidence, ease and flow.  We get to work with the efficiency and productivity of creative energy to make a bigger impact.
