TESTIMONIALS​
It’s better than therapy…! The lessons have felt very empowering, fun, they boost my mood and I feel much more confident in my voice now.
My lesson has become a special self care space that’s just for me, it is a great endorphin hit to start my week with!
- Rachel
Working with Nuala has achieved everything I wanted to from doing some singing lessons - and so much more besides. I am emerging with a newly restored confidence and as a technically better singer too.
I would recommend Nuala to anyone - be they a long-time singer looking to work on technique, find new ideas and approaches or restore confidence - or to somebody looking to sing for the very first time.

Nuala is warm, sensitive, she sees the whole of me and can see what I need better than myself sometimes.
It's been a long time since I took the singer in myself seriously, and with the right mixture of play and technique, Nuala is helping me get curious about what my voice can do.

Nuala has helped me immeasurably. Nuala has helped me break down the components of my singing technique and retrain them to be more sustainable. We also had a lot of fun doing it, and I would fully recommend her, no matter where you are in your singing journey!

I came to Nuala with a wish to lose my inhibitions and find more confidence in my voice and she has really delivered on that. Our lessons are both playful and focussed, we cover a lot of ground each week. Nuala has a great intuition for what songs will support my learning journey and has the ability to make learning them feel easy.
