Performance anxiety is extremely common. It is a normal part of everyday life and can occur when giving a speech or presentation, taking a test, or performing as a musician, singer, actor or dancer. However, when psychological and physical symptoms become overwhelming, individuals can be left feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Performance anxiety can potentially undermine even the most seasoned and well-prepared performers.

Nixey's Voice Studio aims to help individuals experiencing performance anxiety move forward positively, embracing ‘performance energy.’ We strive to motivate acceptance of psychological and physical symptoms, teach strategies to manage them, and encourage commitment to personal values and goals. Psychological flexibility is the overall aim of performance-related work. Sarah is trained in Acceptance and Commitment Training for music performance.
