"I have worked with Maniko for years. As
friend and teacher, she has instructed me in
how to give voice to my self, my soul, my
heart. It is deep joyous work, sometimes
scary, yet wondrous. She has helped me to
know, that it doesn't matter what you think
you do; your sound, the vibration and the
resonance, is who you are, is what you
communicate and how you touch others."

"Maniko
took me to places inside myself which had
been hidden. She lovingly created the space
for me to face some uncomfortable terrain,
and through her enthusiasm, clarity, skill
and love, I was able to move deeper, bringing
more light and aliveness into my voice, my
body and my Being. And her singing is
divine. Thank you, Maniko!"

"Maniko has
a rare combination of inspiration,
positivity and wonder, along with a skillful
focus on the nitty-gritty details of the
voice, singing and self-expression. She
includes the whole human being. It makes all
the difference. Her enthusiasm, sensitivity and
passion are contagious. Working with her has
not only expand my vocal and artistic range,
but the range of my humanity as well."

"Maniko is
simply an evolved soul who sings like an
angel...and I don't mean those ladies with
white wings on their shoulders...not only,
anyway. I mean she can reach down with her
voice to the depth of the blues, and she can
soar to the peaks of ecstasy. And the
beautiful thing is, she has found ways to
help others do the same thing."

"Maniko
took me far beyond vocal technique into the
heart of singing and self-expression,
demonstrating that music can be a path
toward personal growth, healing and
communion. In my work with her, she
challenged, encouraged, and skillfully
supported me through my limitations and
blockages, helping me to be in touch with,
honor and express my feelings artfully
and with awareness. She taught me how to use
song as a way to share my love and the
volumes of life experience within me."

"Maniko,
after our sessions, I feel like I just took
a journey deep into the down-under where the
no-mind lives - a relief from trying and
effort - and an exploration into the vast
pockets of myself. Thank you!"
