Thanks for reaching out to find support as you navigate the next steps of living a fully expressed, engaged and embodied life.

I welcome all parts of you to show up and look forward to working in a co-creative space of deep listening, embodied expression and hopefully a bit of fun and laughter along the way!

Your voice is welcome here.

Your voice. Your body. Your truth.

The sessions I offer are deeply transformational and uniquely tailored to you.

With over 25 years of classical voice training and performance experience, alongside extensive training in sound healing, somatic sex education, Somatic Experiencing®, bodywork, embodied counselling, and immersive shamanic womb work, I weave together a rich tapestry of modalities to support your personal journey.

Sessions are guided through a somatic lens—working with:

Breath and sound
Touch and movement
Consent, embodied awareness, and mindfulness

I hold a particular passion for the vibrational connection between voice, womb, and sexuality—how they mirror, awaken, and inform one another in the body. When these pathways are listened to and expressed, something ancient and true begins to move.

As you find greater ease and embodiment in your voice and expression, you cultivate a deeper anchor within yourself—one that helps you navigate life’s seasons with more intimacy, resilience, and grace.

What Becomes Possible Through This Work?

When you begin to reclaim your voice from deep within the body, it opens the door to profound transformation. Through this journey, you may experience:
A true relationship with your voice — not just how it sounds, but how it feels when it rises from your womb, your belly, your bones
Greater confidence in speaking, singing, or sharing — in personal, creative, or professional spaces
Breath and sound as tools for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deep presence
Expression without apology — your truth, your boundaries, your longings, your joy
The voice as a pathway to sexual and creative energy — unlocking your vitality and inner radiance
A grounded, embodied voice that can hold intensity, tenderness, or power with equal clarity
Deeper attunement to your inner rhythms and natural cycles through vocal practice
A sacred reconnection to the voice of the womb — the intuitive knowing, sensuality, and ancient wisdom that lives there
The ability to use your voice as an anchor — a guide back to yourself in times of challenge or transition
A sense of belonging — to your body, your story, your sound, and the greater song of life

My Journey

Sound has always felt like my first language.

For as long as I can remember, I could sing. It came naturally to me—a way to express the inexpressible.

As a child, I was entranced by the voices of Kiri Te Kanawa and Inia Te Wiata, listening to their records with wonder. At 13, I told my high school teacher that I was going to be an opera singer.

Growing up on a farm in Southland, New Zealand, instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep love for nature and animals—an enduring connection that continues to shape my life and work.

After high school, I completed a Music Diploma in voice in Wellington, NZ, before traveling to Manchester, England, for postgraduate study. I was fortunate to perform on stages across New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K., studying with a variety of esteemed teachers.

During my time in the U.K., I became deeply interested in sound healing and other holistic modalities. Immersing myself in workshops and festivals with pioneering wellness facilitators, I explored an array of bodywork and metaphysical healing approaches over the next 20 years.

My journey led me through Embodied Counselling, Kahuna Massage, a nine-month Womb Apprenticeship, Myofascial Release, and various sacred sexuality retreats.

Several years ago, I trained as a Somatic Sex Educator and certified in Sexological Bodywork through the Institute of Somatic Sexology. In 2022, I completed three years of training in Somatic Experiencing—a trauma-informed modality pioneered by Peter Levine. This work has been profoundly transformative, both personally and professionally.

I now live in a small town in Central Otago, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and untamed beauty. I frequently bathe in rivers and lakes, immersing myself in nature and the elements. I have entered my menopausal years, and I believe this stage of life can be a vibrant and deeply creative time.

Whale song has become an integral part of my journey, weaving itself into my voice and practice in profound ways. You can read more about my connection to whales in my musings blog HERE. From 2026, I will be leading transformative retreats in the Pacific Islands, where we will swim and sing with the whales. If this calls to you, I would love to hear from you.

I am deeply passionate about women reclaiming their voices, expressing in ways that have been lost for generations. Now is the time to remember. As we step into a new phase on Earth, our innate wisdom as women is vital in shaping a new world.

I welcome all parts of you and invite you to return home to your body’s wisdom, so you may live in your fullest expression and lead from Soul.

Come, let’s play...

JANINE

Talia I would like to thank you for my recent journey to better know and understand myself far more intimately than I ever have before. You created a space during the Sacred Remembering retreat that was safe, honouring, compassionate, professional and transformative.

I journeyed far deeper and further than I anticipated due to your presence, knowledge and skill as a facilitator. Thank you so very much for the space you created for myself and others to step into knowing we were held with Aroha.

ANTHONY

Talia, thank you. You are both powerful and gentle. I have the utmost respect for you. I look forward to the next time we can connect. Thanks to you I experienced perhaps the most powerful experience of my life to date.

I now know I can find empowerment through facing my fears and conditioning. I feel that you are an extremely important woman. Please continue with what you are doing.
