Hi there, I’m Katja.

I help artists & creatives unlock their creative voice, and go from blocked & burned out to aligned & accomplished.

With a powerful blend of voice work, music interpretation work, creativity coaching, artist coaching, life coaching, productivity coaching, mindset and energy work, intuitive work, and over two decades of experience in professional performance and voice training, I’ll guide you to unlock your voice and artistry, get unstuck in creative projects, and find alignment, so you can create and thrive without the Inner Critic, the overwhelm and the hustle.

I work with singers, musicians, performers, multi-passionate artists and creative souls:

Singing Lessons & Vocal Coaching to develop your voice and artistry, solve vocal issues and sing with freedom across different styles, while growing your confidence, technique, musicianship and style.

Creativity Coaching & Artist Coaching to overcome inner & outer obstacles to creating, get your creative work done, navigating the marketplace and building a sustainable artist life & business.

Transformational Life Coaching for artists, creatives and creative souls to find alignment from the inside out and create a life that feels purposeful and excites you.

Community & Circle Singing Events for people of all backgrounds who love to explore their creative voice and co-create with others through vocal improvisation and singing songs from different styles and cultures.

I teach, coach and mentor in English, Finnish, Swedish and Dutch.

Some of Katja’s Music Projects

“Before I started working with Katja, I felt stuck, needing to realign. I had a desire to record an album, and wanted to get my voice back in shape. Despite being technically skilled through studies in many vocal methodologies, I didn’t know how I wanted to sound anymore. I was looking for a sound that was more connected – reflecting more of me. ⁣I was also suffering from imposter syndrome, which was holding me back both in my singing and teaching.⁣ 

Working with Katja, things started shifting on many levels. I reconnected with playfulness, and that spread out to areas in my whole life.⁣ My singing became gentler, more expressive and dynamic. I found my own sound that was aligned with the stories I wanted to tell. My vocal range expanded, and singing started feeling much easier and more connected.⁣

My creative flow exploded and I ended up writing not just one, but TWO albums, that I now feel confident bringing to the recording studio! Through the coaching, I learned to fully embrace my identity as a rock and metal vocalist, which helped me expand my artistry, and let go of my limiting beliefs around teaching.⁣ There were also a lot of money blocks that got cleared, and right now my income has doubled, while I’m doing way less than before!”

Judith Westerveld, singer at Signs of Stillness and coach at Judith Westerveld Coaching

“Katja helped me grow into my identity as a business owner and to see business as part of my artist life. I used to think: “Yes! I’m an artist! (…and I also have to do business…aaaarrrgggh…)” Now I can connect those two elements.

I had so many plans on how I wanted to evolve my services as a singing teacher, but did not have a clear vision about who I actually want to work with. I only felt that some collaborations didn’t feel right anymore, but I didn’t know how to deal with that and how to get out of this. Working with Katja I identified who I want to work with, and learned saying no to people and projects that don’t feel aligned!

I learned to prioritize better in my daily life, so I could create more space for the things that matter the most. Also, I learned to design offers from the heart, to trust myself more, and gained confidence to talk about my teaching offers.

Katja really helps you to grow your artist business in a way that fits your artist identity. She’s not putting some ‘cookie-cutter-product’ into your head, but she’s really into your ideas and develops the business-side of your teaching and artistry with you. She’s not only great at helping you talk through your ideas, but also in helping you reconnect to your ‘Why’ and to your energy in the moments when you feel lost.”
