People often ask me how I became a Singing Mamas leader.
It’s a question I’ve been giving more attention to. It is also a source if much gratitude as this work feels so aligned to me at my core.
It actually began with my childhood friend, Liz Baker. We were best friends in primary school, spending sleepovers listening to music and singing together. We both loved drama and music, but life took us in different directions.
Years later, I saw that Lizzie had become a Singing Mamas leader. I looked into it, and it was an instant lightbulb moment.
Everything about the philosophy resonated. It just made sense.
Soon after, I trained as a leader and began weaving singing into my yoga classes. I could see how deeply it touched people.
Then I started my first Singing Mamas group—with just one mum and a friend. Almost two years later, I’ve now started four groups.
Looking back, it feels like every thread of my life has led me here: motherhood, yoga, teaching, early childhood education, children’s yoga, singing in bands, studying theatre, and a lifelong love of music and community. Singing Mamas is where all those threads come together.
last week , after a session, one mum said to me, “This should be an essential service for all mums.” That stayed with me because she understood exactly what these groups are about.
It’s not about learning to sing, or bettering yourself . It’s about being held while you’re holding everyone else. These groups are about finding connection when motherhood can feel isolating, regulating our nervous systems through our voices, sharing songs with our babies, laughing, crying, breathing, and remembering that we’re not meant to do this alone.
