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 favorite 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.

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.
