Find Your Voice. Finish Your Project. Free Your Artistry.
You know all those songs you wish you could sing but you think: “My voice can’t do that”…”I just don’t have it in me…”?
All the creative, artistic dreams that your Inner Critic wants you to give up… Like writing and performing your own songs, recording an album, putting up a tribute concert, playing a leading role in a musical theatre show, producing your own theatre show..?
That project that matters to you, and you DO start – but feel like it’s not going anywhere? You get stuck in perfection and keep polishing drafts endlessly, feel tormented by self-doubt and second-guess every decision you make, drown in a sea of distractions, or think you’re falling out of love with your current project and contemplate starting a new one.
This is what I want you to know:
You DO have it in you. You just need the right structure and support. And no, you don’t need to figure it out all by yourself, even if that voice inside your head keeps telling you so.
I am here to help you sing the songs you always wanted to sing, find your own artist voice and help you finish your creative projects.
Welcome to Creative Voice!
Projects and successes by clients:
JOSIE AKERS
Unlocked her voice to sound like she wanted it to sound, overcame mental blocks, released her first single and went on to producing several tracks built on an electronic indie-pop foundation, while building an online presence and connecting with dream collaborators.
NEPTHALIE VAN DER BORGHT
Overcame her self-doubts, gained vocal confidence, got clear on her artistic vision, found the right musicians to collaborate with and went on to play shows with her project LyBelle – touching audiences with her music in a language that she has made up, and proving her own Inner Critic wrong.
JUDITH WESTERVELD
Found a sound that felt connected, overcame impostor syndrome, and got in such a creative flow she ended up writing not just one, but TWO albums! Inner shifts took place that cleared money blocks and limiting beliefs about teaching – which even led to a significant increase in her income.

Hi there, I’m Katja.
I’m here to help you discover and unlock your creative voice, and experience joy, freedom and connection through singing and music-making.
I work with singers, musicians, performers, multi-passionate artists and creatives, at all stages of their creative journey: from motivated hobbyists to professionals.
Vocal Coaching & Artist Coaching
My work with singers, artists and creatives is focused on helping them unlock their authentic voice, sing the songs they truly want to sing, and complete their creative projects with clarity, flow, and confidence.
Collective Singing
I facilitate Creative Voice Circles: collective singing events where people of all backgrounds make music together through Circle Singing (improvisational collective singing) and tap into the joy of singing songs from different music styles and cultures together.
How We’ll Get You from “I Can’t” to “I Did!”
Step 1: Discovery Call
We’ll get together online and talk through your project or project dream, figure out where you’re stuck and what you can do about it.
Step 2: A Customised Roadmap
You’ll know where to point your compass to, what exercises to do, how to proceed at all times – at a pace that respects your energy, your life circumstances, and your unique creative rhythms.
Step 3: Ongoing Support
You will never be left to figure out things all by yourself. Through regular coaching appointments and accountability, I will be by your side as you navigate obstacles and celebrate wins. This support system will keep you connected to your vision and help you finish your project.
Here’s what artists have to say
“Katja empowered me to transform creative inspiration into actionable systems, bringing clarity, focus, and balance to my work and life. She helped me move past overwhelm and avoidance, fostering sustainable momentum and enabling me to proactively turn ideas into results. With her support, I’ve built strong foundations, clear priorities, and effective systems that align with my needs and future goals. Her enthusiastic, insightful coaching and practical guidance have strengthened my confidence, communication, and entrepreneurial approach, making a profound difference in my creative journey. Highly recommended!”
LEELA MAY STOKHOLM, MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST AND EDUCATOR
“I’ve performed and recorded for years. At some point I noticed I started putting songs in lower keys, because it felt more comfortable for my voice. Working with Katja has made me ready to make full use of my vocal range. Now I have more control, especially over the use of the whole wide spectrum of tone colors that my voice is capable of. Not only do I have a better understanding of my instrument, but also more possibilities for musical expression.”
“Before working with Katja, I was restricting my natural voice, getting stuck in a box and trying too hard to control the voice. Now I am really excited to trust my voice and to explore new parts of my voice with compassion. I am approaching singing with more curiosity instead of fear. I am enjoying singing again!
As a coach, Katja is present, intuitive, knowledgeable, supportive, kind and thoughtful. She creates a healthy and safe environment, and any singer looking to develop with a brilliant and compassionate teacher would benefit from working with her.”
“Katja is a great and enthousiastic teacher, with deep and detailed knowledge of the voice and how it works. I find her lessons inspirational and I recommend her strongly. She’s the kind of teacher that makes you sing the songs you never dared to sing and has solutions for every ‘problem’ along the way. Inspiring!”
