I grew up in South East London in the 1980s, born into love. I was the child singing in her bedroom, playing teacher and gathering her dolls and teddies around her to be cared for. Looking back, those early loves—voice, teaching and nurturing—have followed me through every chapter of my life.

Singing was an expression of who I was, although finding the confidence to let myself be heard took longer. Throughout childhood and my teenage years, I sang whenever I could, carrying a longing that eventually led me into a rather extraordinary adventure.

In my twenties, I joined a manufactured pop band in London. There was management, a schools tour with screaming audiences, days recording our album in a top London studio, and the promise of a record deal in America. For a while, life had the rush and possibility of everything I had imagined.

It was a wild experience. It also ended painfully. Promises from management, including the American deal, never came to fruition, and the band eventually fell apart. I struggled to find my footing afterwards, while my love of singing remained close.

Learning to listen

That search for direction carried me somewhere very different: an ashram in France.

From recording studios and screaming schoolchildren, I found myself living to the rhythm of yoga, hours of meditation and periods of silence. I became vegan, studied Sivananda yoga, and began discovering a sense of purpose through the simple, devoted practice of being present.

I had spent years longing to share my voice. In the quiet, I began learning how to listen to myself.

“My singing voice brings me into alignment with my soul.”— Victoria Rebecca

Over time, that listening opened into further study. I trained through the levels of Reiki to become a Reiki Master, and after moving to New Zealand in 2012, continued into Theta practice and somatic energy therapy. Each brought another way of understanding the relationship between body, voice and inner experience.

My devotion to singing also led me to train as a vocal technician with Justin Stoney and to open a vocal academy for children. As I taught, I became increasingly interested in the whole person behind the voice. Breath, movement, sensation and self-expression found their way into my lessons, gradually becoming a somatic-based curriculum. I saw how naturally this approach supported the neurodivergent children I taught, offering space for their individual ways of learning and expressing themselves.

Those years of teaching deepened something I still carry into my work: a respect for each person’s rhythm, and a curiosity about what becomes possible when we feel comfortable enough to explore.

My own body has been part of that learning, too. After years of unexplained illness, receiving an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome diagnosis brought understanding to a long chapter of my life. It remains one thread within a much larger story, informing the tenderness with which I listen to my body and honour its changing needs.

A life shaped with intention

Today, that story continues here in New Zealand, within a life I have consciously shaped around motherhood, creativity and spiritual practice.

Most mornings, I wake in my own rhythm, without an alarm. I make a hot coffee and settle with my singing bowls, my journal and a little silence. Through my Coming Home method, I ground into Mother Earth, open to the divine guidance I experience, and return to my heart, where I plant a mantra for the day.

Often, my voice becomes part of that return—a hum, a melody, a few words repeated until I can feel their vibration moving through me. Somatic movement and dance give me another way to explore what I am feeling, while my oracle cards often offer a moment of recognition or confirmation.

These practices live alongside the ordinary things I love: home educating my children, exploring New Zealand together, walking in nature, disappearing into a good book, and a proper catch-up with a friend. I continue learning, too. Weekly sessions with my spiritual mentor give me space to deepen my own practice and remain curious about what is unfolding.

All of it finds its way into what I create.

Following the voice

When I sit down to record a YouTube session, I bring years of practice with me, then allow the experience to unfold in the moment. I choose a sound bed beforehand, often without hearing the whole track, turn on the camera and tune in. The words and melodies arrive as I follow them.

It feels like a free fall into trust.

“I become quiet enough to get out of my own way and allow my intuition to flow.”— Victoria Rebecca

My music begins in a similar place. In meditation, a theme may come forward—coming home, perhaps—and its feeling begins to suggest a key, a texture, an atmosphere. I follow that thread until it becomes a landscape of sound.

For my full somatic recordings, I give that intuitive process a carefully tended shape: time to arrive, gentle somatic exploration, voice and sound, and space to rest. Each session is a complete experience you can choose for yourself and return to in your own time.

Through all these chapters, my voice has remained a companion. When I began sharing on YouTube, I felt so full of joy, love and a desire to be of service that my attention naturally turned towards the person listening. I was thinking about what I could give, and that connection helped me find the freedom to share.

The child singing in her bedroom is still here. So is the young woman in the recording studio, the student sitting in silence in France, and the teacher discovering new ways to help a voice unfold. They all belong to the woman I am today.

And this work, darling heart, is what happens when I allow that whole life to sing through me.

From my heart to yours,
