• 🎓 I pursued my love of theatre at the University of Alberta, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Drama.

• 🎭 Clown, bouffon, and the One Yellow Rabbit Summer Lab fueled my passion for performer-created theatre and sparked my interest in yoga and present-moment awareness.

• 🎶 In 2004, I began voice lessons at the MacEwan University Conservatory of Music, performing in recitals, music festivals, and scholarship competitions. 

• 🎹 In 2013, I landed a role in the Conservatory office, supporting programs, events, and marketing. During this time, I heard students share negative performance experiences that discouraged them from performing at their year-end recitals.

• 🎤 In 2014, I started performance coaching. Combining my background in theatre, yoga, and meditation, I wanted to offer practical and effective tools to navigate performance anxiety, connect with others, and find joy both on and off the stage. 

• 🤸 I’ve also directed and coached children’s musical theatre productions and taught Confidence Building & Stage Presence workshops.

• 🙏 Over the years, I've deepened my yoga and meditation practice—completing various teacher trainings and attending vipassana retreats. I've sat on retreat with Guy Armstrong, Sally Armstrong, Jeanne Corrigal, Howard Cohn, Heather Martin, and Richard Miller.

• ⛰️ In 2023, I travelled to Nepal—walking the Boudha Stupa in Boudhanath, exploring Bhaktapur the "Living Museum" and trekking to Annapurna Basecamp facilitated by Kat Boehm.

• 🫶 I volunteer with Edmonton Insight Meditation, helping with social media and co-hosting Saturday Sits.

💗 Whether you’re drawn to meditation, yoga, or performance, you’ll find a creative and curious spirit ready to guide you—supporting you in doing what you love and helping you explore new ways to connect with yourself and others.

• One of the biggest things that Faye has helped me overcome through meditation and performance coaching was the fear of singing on stage by myself. The work with Faye overtime has helped me with building my confidence and self esteem. I'm better able to reduce my stress and anxiety levels in my mind as well as in my body. Faye has given me a “safe place” to perform and practice without feeling scared or intimidated, has helped me in achieving goals and increased my level of engagement. - Allan Hohol, 2022

• Faye’s qualifications and extraordinary communicative skills definitely underlie her success as a performance instructor. It is apparent that Faye’s positive and enthusiastic approach as a teacher and coach enabled our student to find confidence and joy in discovering his abilities both in movement and expression. - Lary Benson, Voice Instructor

• Faye, is not only an excellent professional, but her way of communicating with the students is so engaging and effective that we cannot wait to have her back to our studio masterclass again. - Amorim Rufino Violin and Viola Studio
