The Presence Effect

11/09/2026

Have you worked out what you want for yourself this term? Or are you still sitting at the bottom of your own to-do list?

Maybe you've been craving more space to sing in your week — even if you don't think you "can" sing.

Or perhaps you’re just wishing for a mindful breather to step away from the daily grind and reset.

I created The Presence Effect Choir to help people build a sense of presence in their voices that naturally filters into all areas of life. It’s about learning to take up space and express yourself with ease — all while singing gorgeous music from around the world and having lots of fun!

We are starting our new term on Monday 21st September (6:00–7:30pm) at Shine Workspace (Leeds) in LS8 for a warm, welcoming space to recharge and sing with joy

✨ No auditions or past experience needed
✨ Your first session is completely free to try

Whether you're looking to strengthen your confidence at work, find a creative outlet, or simply enjoy some proper 'you' time, there is a spot waiting for you.

I'm starting a new Monthly Mindful Singing Walk in Meanwood Park - first one is tomorrow! 10:30am–12:00pm

Together we'll wander through the park, singing uplifting, nature-inspired songs, with moments of poetry, mindfulness and quiet reflection woven throughout. It's a chance to connect with nature, enjoy singing in a relaxed way, and take some time to slow down and notice the beauty around us.

Families are very welcome. The walks are primarily designed for adults, but children are welcome to come along, join in as much or as little as they like, and enjoy being in nature while we sing.

To help create a comfortable and inclusive environment for everyone, we ask that pet dogs are not brought along to the walks. Assistance dogs are, of course, very welcome.

You can find all the details and booking information here:

Hope to sing with you there!

"September is so full-on!!!!"

Anyone else’s conversational theme over the last couple of weeks? I’ve probably had around 30 conversations in this vein!

Busy parents with the back-to-school routine, professionals facing changes in work demands, people caring for others, and people who feel like they need a holiday after the holiday!

Whoever it is, this desperate need to hit PAUSE seems to be echoed far and wide—at my groups, at the school gates, and at the business events I’ve been speaking at and attending.

One of the reasons I started The Presence Effect was to give myself space to reset on a regular basis—and to offer that space to others too. Stepping out of the relentless mental chatter (which is often so focused on the next thing on the to-do list) feels even more important at this time of year, when many of us are catching up, planning, and stepping into a slightly new chapter.

Next Saturday (20th) could be your September PAUSE Day!

I’m teaming up with yoga teacher Danya Cole Sancta Studio in Otley to offer an Autumn Retreat. It couldn’t come at a better time for me—a whole day of relaxation on the yoga mat and with my voice!

I’ll be leading a Release & Rejuvenate vocal session during the day, with original compositions to help connect people to the natural “letting go” impulse that Autumn calls us toward.

All the details are below. Only a handful of places left, so book ASAP.
