About me
Hello, I am Alexandra Rigazzi-Tarling, a fully qualified Vocal Coach and Technician, Vocal Sound Healer, Vocal Sound Healing Trainer and Mentor and Vocal Massage Therapist.
As a former Opera Singer I have worked with Voice for well over 25 years. I trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama London, and I have a degree in music, a master's degree in music performance and a master's in psychology specialising in mental health and wellbeing research.
From an early age, I was brought up surrounded by music and singing, as well as healing and complementary therapies. My mum was a healer, and our house was filled with everything from essential aromatherapy oils to crystals! I spent several years as a working opera singer at international venues including Glyndebourne Opera, Zurich Opera and many a concert venue in Italy, but unfulfilled by this lifestyle and worn out by the endless carrot chasing, fear and control that seems to be the norm in pro music business, I turned my attention to working as a vocal coach specialising in vocal technique and performance psychology with a particular interest understanding why so many people are afraid of singing and vocalising. In addition to this in 2009/2010, I began to combine my traditional voice coaching with a complementary perspective, training as a Sound Healer with Simon Heather and Reiki Master Teacher.
In 2014 I became a tutor for the College of Sound Healing in the UK. I ran accredited practitioner trainings and related workshops in Vocal Sound Healing and really enjoyed sharing my insight, learning and experience with others on the subject of voice, vibrational healing methods and energy work facilitating shifts in perspective about the nature of reality and our ability to heal and be healed. I continue to enjoy training and mentoring vocal sound healers around the world as well as my 1-2-1 sessions as a vocal sound healing practitioner, supporting my clients in their healing journey and life shifts.
As a holistic voice consultant and 1-2-1 technical vocal coach, I work with what I have come to call 'Healing and Authentic' voice, assisting both professional voice users, vocal sound healers and vocal beginners alike, to work with both physical (technical), psychological and energetic blocks that stand in the way of them discovering their true, easeful and joyful vocal sound. I work as a vocal coach for educational (including SEN) and corporate establishments (including Barristers' Chambers), as well as working with professionals in the wellness business that rely on their voice for their teaching and creative work, such as yoga teachers and sound healers.
I run regular workshops in a range of Voice related subjects with a particular interest in addressing the physical voice and how it functions. Starting with the physical opens a portal into the more subtle energetic realms and offers insight into the deep patterns that can be held there, affecting our ability to sound and vocalise with joy and authenticity in the present time.
I am passionate about the healing effects of voice on the body and mind and its ability to reflect a person's state of health and being on all levels. My sessions empower people to begin a journey of personal development and wellness through releasing fear around vocalising and discovering of their own unique vocal sound.
