Molly

An experienced trauma informed workshop facilitator specialising in singing, choral harmony and breath-work that promotes wellbeing through voice and body. I lead bespoke workshops aimed at all ages and abilities from diverse backgrounds in a range of community and corporate contexts, leading sessions that create a culture of inclusivity, enjoyment and togetherness.

With over a decade of experience as a Jazz and session vocalist, I have orchestrated musical performances spanning various genres. My recent explorations into therapeutic modalities have underscored the profound health benefits of proper singing and breathing techniques, as well as the pivotal role of connection and community in bolstering mental and physical well-being. Having studied 'Group Voice Therapy' from the British Academy of Sound and training as a breathwork facilitator, I merge my expertise in music direction with holistic practices

With my background in singing, musical direction and holistic therapies. My aim is to teach people about the incredible benefits singing in a group has on mental and physical health, while creating interesting music together in the process.

My workshops bring people together through singing, breath-work, rhythm, and mindfulness with easy to learn techniques for people to take away, that will boost the immune system, reduce stress levels, and support overall health and wellbeing.

Singing for Health and Wellbeing

Singing as ancient healing and ritual
Long before there were concert halls or choirs, there were circles around fires. Across cultures and centuries, people have sung together for healing, ceremony, grief, celebration and prayer. From chant and mantra to lullabies and work songs, the human voice has always been a tool for regulating emotion and marking life’s transitions. Singing helped communities process loss, call in hope, and connect to something larger than themselves. It is one of our oldest medicines — simple, accessible, and deeply human.

Singing as meditation and nervous system regulation
Singing naturally slows and deepens the breath, which gently shifts the body into a calmer state. Longer exhales stimulate the vagus nerve, helping to reduce stress hormones and activate the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. In this way, singing becomes a form of moving meditation. Repeating melodies, harmonies or rhythms focuses the mind and softens mental chatter, creating a grounded, present-moment awareness similar to breathwork or mindfulness practice.

Singing for connection and belonging
When people sing together, something remarkable happens — hearts literally begin to sync. Research shows that group singing can align breathing, heart rate and even brain activity, fostering a powerful sense of unity. It releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” which strengthens trust and social connection. In a world where loneliness is increasingly common, singing in a group offers a direct, embodied experience of belonging — a reminder that we are not alone, and that our voices matter.

Singing for joy and emotional expression
The voice is closely tied to emotion, which is why singing can feel so cathartic. It gives us a safe way to express feelings that might otherwise stay stuck in the body. Singing stimulates the release of endorphins and dopamine — the brain’s natural “feel-good” chemicals — often leaving us lighter, brighter, and more energised. Even a few minutes of singing can lift mood and create a sense of playfulness and freedom that many adults rarely allow themselves.

The science of whole-body wellbeing
Beyond the emotional benefits, singing is surprisingly physical. It improves lung capacity, posture and core strength, supports immune function, enhances memory and concentration, and increases oxygen flow throughout the body. Learning melodies and harmonies also challenges the brain, building neural pathways and supporting cognitive resilience. In short, singing is a gentle full-body workout for breath, brain and heart all at once.

My aim is to bring people together through singing, weaving together breath, voice, connection and community to create welcoming spaces that nurture health, wellbeing and joy, so that everyone can feel calmer, stronger, and more at home in themselves and with each other.
