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 an introverted teenager, I know firsthand the longing for singing lessons - and the vulnerability that comes with stepping into that space.

​

When those lessons finally became a reality at 16, they turned out to be more than just "singing lessons." They gave me something much deeper: a new sense of confidence, self-trust, and a real connection with my voice.

​

I wasn’t born with a “God-given talent” or an “amazing voice.”

But through dedication, a love for singing, and my singing teacher’s unwavering patience, I began to grow. 

​

I so desperately wanted to be good at singing that I followed my teacher’s guidance and trained classically.

Yet deep down, I knew that wasn’t my true path.

I longed to sing like the artists who inspired me: Mariah and Whitney and others whose emotion, agility, and power captivated me.

​

It took me over 25 years to give myself permission to explore other more contemporary genres like musical theatre and pop styles. 

​

Only then did I discover 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 diverse genres and musical fields.

​

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

​​

My Mission:

​

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

 

Because you want your voice to feel like yours.

​

Whether you’re a beginner adult who loves to sing but feels unsure of your abilities, or a passionate teenager with big dreams and a bold voice, I offer a supportive, encouraging space where you can explore, build confidence, and develop real technique.

​

Whether you want to sing like your favourite artist, reach higher notes, or sing with more ease and freedom, I’m here to help.

​

Let me share more: 

​​

I was born in Portugal and have lived in Austria, Russia, Ireland, and the UK. These diverse cultures and languages have shaped my perspective and teaching philosophy, giving me a multifaceted approach to working with singers from all walks of life.

​

I offer singing lessons in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, available both in person in Carcavelos, Portugal, and online worldwide.

If it feels like the right fit, we’ll move on to your Initial Fit Session—a 75-minute session where we’ll explore your vocal strengths, identify areas for growth, and set clear, personalized goals for your voice.

 

From there, we’ll discuss the best path forward based on your needs and aspirations.

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.
