Meet your Teacher

Nico Mar
Comox, BC, Canada

Nicole is your teacher and guide on this singing journey. She has always been drawn to singing. Photos from her early childhood capture her clutching a turkey baster and singing into a tiny recording device—not as proof that she was “destined” to sing, but as a reflection of an innate desire that was already alive within her. Over time, that desire was systematically repressed, and she spent many formative years not singing. Eventually, she became so afraid to be heard that she grew quiet, avoiding and neglecting the part of herself that had once brought so much joy, freedom, and color to her life. With time and great care, Nicole has made a significant journey back to her voice. Today, she confidently shares her music with the world and embraces the power of her voice. Along the way, she’s experienced many unexpected gifts. Through this vocal path, she has learned to know and express her truth with confidence, foster deeper connection in her relationships, deepen her embodiment practices, communicate with nature, and hear—and act on—her intuition, all because she has come to trust her voice.
