Shellee Layne (Vocal Reclamation Guide) 

Shellee has been singing, writing and performing music since childhood. 

Since embarking on deconstructing and reconstructing her faith in her 20s, sh's added more spiritual components to her work, using creative meditations, guided conversation and vocal intelligence exercises as a way to navigate emotions and develop a vast sense of self for creative/sensitive humans trying to exist in a not-so-sensitive world. She calls her work “Music & Humaning” because she hopes to guide people into a life long practice of trusting their humanity in order to deepen their experience of spirituality through music and ongoing self awareness.

Shellee's Sheroes:

My Mother Debbie (taught me how to nurture and love)
Amy Grant (taught me to sing my truth, even when it is laden with questions)
My Daughter Z (is teaching me bravery and non-conformity)
