Founder of the Heart-Centred Living Project

Charley is the founder of The Heart-Centred Living Project, a multi-disciplinary, soul-rooted offering designed to guide people toward liberation, confidence, and self-connection through somatic, psychological, and spiritual integration.

With a rich and eclectic background as a professional vocal coach, trauma-informed yoga and meditation facilitator, personal trainer, and creative artist, Charley helps others find their voice by opening their body and heart — not just for performance, but for truth, expression, and healing.

Voice as Liberation

Charley began their career as a professional vocal coach, teaching in music schools, secondary schools, and privately, with students ranging from young children to adults, including SEN learners. With extensive training and certificates in vocals with ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music), Trinity Guildhall, and Trinity College London up to Grade 8, Charley has maintained a 100% student pass rate.

Over time, Charley realised that many people came to singing or speaking not just to improve technique, but to find confidence, reclaim expression, and release emotional tension stored in the body.

“I began to see voice not just as sound, but as freedom. As the body opens, the heart opens — and that’s when the true voice comes out.”

Today, Charley blends vocal technique with trauma-informed yoga, somatic practices, breathwork, meditation, sound work, and psychological depth to help clients liberate their authentic voice.
This is not about grades — it’s about coming home to your voice and your self.

Body & Nervous System Work

Charley is a Level 3 CIMSPA & REPs certified personal trainer and fitness coach, with a strong focus on nervous system regulation, body confidence, and intuitive movement.

Rather than rigid routines or performance metrics, Charley offers tailored fitness experiences that support each client’s emotional, energetic, and physical needs — with compassion and empowerment at the core.

Training & Specialisms include:

  • Trauma-Informed Yoga

  • Meditation and Consciousness Practices

  • Somatic Voice & Movement (Embody Your Voice: The Yoga of Sound)

  • Functional Strength Training and Adaptive Movement

Inner Depth, Outer Expression

With over 12 years of study in Eastern traditions, Jungian and post-Jungian psychology, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Charley weaves these teachings into a grounded, soulful approach. Their work is informed by explorations of consciousness, creative flow, and symbolic integration, which form the foundation of the Heart-Centred Living methodology.

Creative Roots & Performance

As a solo vocalist, Charley has performed at major venues across the UK, including The Symphony Hall, Roundhouse London, and live on Brit FM. They have studied songwriting under leading UK artists and collaborated with musicians and producers across multiple genres.

This background fuels a deep understanding of the emotional landscape of expression — which Charley now channels into voice liberation work, helping others connect to their creative truth, whether or not they consider themselves singers.
