I dropped off the tuners and guitar at 4pm on Tues, and he had it ready for me by 4pm on Wed. Work was carefully done and top notch.

Carrina is skilled, kind, and clear in her instruction and we have seen so much growth in his voice control, ability to apply a variety of skills for different pieces, and confidence.

It is crazy how he just knows what you want. "Just looking?…read moreStart over here". Door just opened "Hi, You want better strings?" Before the door is closed as you walk in. Someone looking at the guitars "you need a better amp first.

Ariella came into my life at just the right time…read more I went from being a "person who plays music" to a musician; and a "person who sings" to a singer. I. Am. A. Singer. I have learned, in my travels of becoming a musician - and I'm on a never-ending road - that confidence is of the utmost importance. I might argue the single most. From the girl who would have been to embarrassed to sing anything more than quietly at the campfire, today I have no qualms about being the soloist. Ariella is a part of that growth. Ariella is a fabulous cheerleader, a free spirit, a beautiful soul, who helped coach me to confidence.

My work with Ariella was life-changing. It had always felt excruciating to sing in front of other…read morepeople--whether in groups or solo--and I knew that it was related to being witnessed in my authentic voice, period, whether speaking or singing. My work with Ariella was a process of coming into my body and voice while being gently held and guided. It catalyzed a year-long process of coming more authentically into myself than ever before, and it all started through the seemingly small practices of vocal warm ups, call and response, or just making noises with my mouth.  Ariella talks about one of her roles as a coach and guide being to offer unconditional love, and I agree. To listen closely enough to one's body to hear the sounds or movements that want to be expressed and to say YES to them--in spite of whatever fear or shame or other barrier exists there--is an act of unconditional love of the self. To be witnessed and held in that process equally will forever change you. Ariella's approach is gentle and intuitive, yet powerful. I loved that she let the wild nature of the body and voice lead the way.  People love tangible outcomes, so here's what changed for me concretely: I joined a choir and sang in a public performance (this was right before the pandemic or else I'd still be singing in choirs), I feel soooo much more comfortable singing publicly, I began creating weekly videos for my coaching business that I posted publicly and actually enjoyed making them, and I began writing and performing stand up comedy publicly.
