Hello Shiny Ones!
I’m Kimberly Iolana Rieli, founder of Singing For Your Soul. Delighted to meet you! I’m an award-winning vocal empowerment coach, singer, and musician. I hold a B.A in music, Master’s in Vocal Performance, and am certified as a sound healer, yoga instructor, and Reiki practitioner.
For 20+ years I’ve offered sound healing, spiritual guidance, and holistic voice lessons. In 2020-22, I was #1 internationally on Google for holistic and spiritual voice coaching.
Using our voices well is so much more than learning to speak or sing well. It’s about finding our voices in every area of our lives, and literally learning to live in harmony. I’ve had the honor of assisting thousands of Singing For Your Soul clients from over 15 countries to discover and free their voices. You can meet some of them here. You can also read more of my credentials and hear me sing here.
My voice teachings have also been recognized as 5x Winner of Best Performing Arts Business & Best Voice Lessons in Santa Monica, CA and featured in collaboration with Yoga Journal. These signature Holistic Voice teachings include a unique blend of vocal technique, sound healing, yoga, breath work, meditation, movement and spirituality, customized to meet your individual needs. My online training program Singing From Your Soul has received rave reviews, and I’ve recently released Singing For Your Wild Soul, a sacred sisterhood of voice healing + sonic healing certification.
When I’m not teaching and making music of my own, I love doing yoga, playing Celtic harp and crystal bowls, spending time with my husband Marvin, and cuddling our rescue kitties Gandalf the Grey and Arwen (hey fellow LOTR fans!). I also cherish time in nature, tending our garden, and preparing healthy foods.
How I Became a Holistic Vocal Empowerment Coach
My own vocal healing journey began early in my singing career. I loved music so deeply and was performing at a high level with some incredible opportunities. However, I was experiencing crippling anxiety attacks and health problems, to the point where I became terrified of performing. Health problems and past trauma were straining both my inner and outer voice and robbing me of joy. As a result, I was launched into an extended existential crisis and dark night of the soul.
All of this led me on a mission to heal myself through the deep exploration of sound, holistic health, mindfulness, sensuality, and spirituality. And as I healed, I was called to help others do the same. Because of my experiences, I also have a particular passion for helping women heal and reclaim their voices after trauma.
Through my own vocal empowerment journey and many years of teaching voice to others, I’ve seen time and again that our voices are powerful sources for healing our pain, transforming our lives, and experiencing true joy. I’ve seen that reclaiming our voices is not only healing – it’s essential for our own well-being and the future of our planet.
Working with my clients and seeing their growth is one of the most rewarding experiences. If you feel called to this work, then I invite you to get in touch.
BlesSINGS!
