ABOUT ME

My story

Carrying an unyielding desire to sing and a profound love for music while wrestling with shyness can feel incredibly challenging.  As a teenager who used to be introverted, I understand the longing for singing lessons.

 

At 16, when those lessons finally became a reality, they turned out to be more than just "singing lessons."

 

Despite not being born with a “God-given talent” or an "amazing voice," my dedication and love for singing, coupled with my teacher's unwavering patience and commitment, empowered me to develop a new found confidence and voice.

 

 I so desperately wanted to be good at singing that I listened to what my teacher said and I became a classical singer. Yet, deep down, I knew that wasn't what I truly wanted. I longed to sing like my idols Mariah, Whitney, and others.

 

It took me over 25 years to give myself the permission to explore alternative genres.

Only then did I gain true agency and joy in my singing voice.

This journey led me to seek mentorship from top-level singing teachers and vocal coaches who specialize in various genres and musical fields.

​​

These experiences shape my purpose today: to help people like you.

My mission is to help people gain control over their voice and blossom into the singers they've always dreamed of being.

​​

These experiences shape my purpose today: to help people like you.

Let me share more:

 

I was born in Portugal and have lived in Austria, Russia, Ireland, and the UK. These diverse cultures and languages combine to form a multifaceted perspective that underpins my teaching ethos.

I am learning so much and enjoying Sheena’s lessons immensely. My hopes and initial goals have already been surpassed, yet feel like I still have a long and joyous singing adventure ahead of me. I cannot recommend her more highly to everyone.
