Coaching/Creative
Kirsty is an Arts Facilitator with a wide spanning CV across variety of different settings and roles, as well as an experienced mentor and coach to new facilitators and creatives.

Alongside this, Kirsty is an experienced mentor to new creatives and facilitators looking to expand their practice.

‘I love sending my clients to Kirsty while they are on their vocal journey. She is approachable, talented and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for Vocal Coaching!’
Annabel Giles (Actor, Model, TV Personality)
‘Until I met Kirsty, I thought all singing teachers were speaking another language that I couldn't understand. She has made perfect sense, has taught me how to sue what I have and is just wonderful to work with. Not only is she excellent at explaining technique, overcoming problem areas and building confidence, but she's fun too! I look forward to my lessons and am very grateful to her for sharing her extensive experience in such a professional, caring manner. Highly recommend!’
Sam Townsend, Singing Student and Co-Founder/Host of ‘Universally Speaking: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Podcast’
‘I really can't recommend Kirsty highly enough, she is a fantastic teacher - patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. I am thoroughly enjoying my weekly lessons and learning so much about how to become a better singer.’
