Mat to the Mic
For Women singers, recording artists
and performers
An 8-week journey that places wellbeing, wholeness, and wisdom at the heart of the creative process.
What if there was another way?
Do you find yourself holding back your ideas or constantly trying to prove yourself? Are you being guided to sing in a style that doesn’t feel good in your body? Or perhaps you can’t quiet your inner critic, and you’re exhausted by outside opinions about your music and career.
You’re not alone
Many female artists and performers have felt this way. Given the constant barrage of distorted messages about our bodies and voices, it’s not surprising. We’re taught that “good girls” are quiet. That we must “fix” our bodies rather than live embodied. To be seen rather than truly heard. To fake it till we make it. These distortions make it difficult to see ourselves clearly, stifling personal and artistic growth and expression.
A practice for you
Place one hand on your belly
Lay the other hand on your heart
Relax your shoulders and soften your eyes
Breathe in, and as you breathe out
Gently hum…
Mat to the Mic
Rooted In Your Rhytym
Mat to the Mic is designed to help women prioritize wellbeing and creative sustainability through practices rooted in self-care and embodiment. The program helps cultivate a more grounded, balanced, and embodied life on and off the stage.
From one artist to another
I hear you, I see you,
I feel you.
I understand what it takes to forge a career in music. I’ve walked this path too — the doubts, the triumphs, and the constant balancing act between ambition, livelihood, and wellbeing.
I believe that we are capable of being both bold and balanced—rooted in our bodies, clear in our voices, and unwavering in our artistry.
Your unique path can unfold organically in your own timing, guiding you forward as an artist and a woman boldly charting her own course and sharing a story only she can tell.
Your body carries the wisdom, and your voice carries the way.
The journey home begins within.
“My sessions with Shea have left me feeling lighter in body and mind.”
Shea shares a wealth of knowledge in our sessions while catering to my specific goals and fostering a welcoming and calm environment. I have learned a lot from just a few sessions that will help my voice, music career, and day-to-day life. My sessions with Shea have left me feeling lighter in body and mind. I look forward to continuing to work with Shea!”

I am a woman. I am an artist. I know where my voice belongs.
