Hello and welcome, I am Ambika Cruz
I'm a vocalist with multiple backgrounds in vocal pedagogy and andragogy, an eternal student and researcher of both modern and ancient sciences related to the singing voice.
My mission is to help people connect with the transformative potential of their voices in an efficient and healthy way, expanding abilities and illuminating any emotional or technical/physiological blockages that may be obscuring their true expression.
I am part of a musical project called Mantric Mambo, and I compose medicine songs that resonate in hearts around the world. My life is interwoven with threads of spirituality; I am a mother, a medicine woman, a prayer leader, and one of the leaders responsible for ceremonies at the Templo Mãe D'água, a spiritual refuge in the Chapada dos Veadeiros since 2000.
My passion for movement and understanding the human body led me to become a Yoga and Pilates instructor, accumulating qualifications over 25 years. Fascinated by the physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics applied to movement and singing, I also integrate knowledge of neuroscience and neuroplasticity into the learning process, seeking an approach that harmonizes body, mind, and voice.
My voice is my life companion, with whom I've shared highs and lows, challenges and triumphs. Through a personal journey of discovery and overcoming, I've developed a unique methodology that I'm pleased to share in this immersion.
Finding my own voice was a path of empowerment and discovery, allowing me not just to express myself uniquely, but also to assist others in doing the same. I'm here to show you how you can also unleash the power of your voice, on a journey of discovery, expression, and deep connection.
Let's together unveil the transformative power of your voice!

Testimonials
I always wished to have the confidence to open my voice and sing in ceremonies or chanting circles, and therefore I took a few classes with different teachers. But when I signed up for ten lessons with Ambika, everything began to change.
From our first class, it has been a deep journey into understanding how the vocal folds, muscles, breathing, and body posture are all connected to the final result of singing and opening up my voice.
Ambika has been able to understand my blockages and teach me, with a lot of patience, the right tools, and technics to help me overcome them. She has lit a spark of joy in me to continue my practice and to learn more. In each class, She creates and holds a nurturing sacred space, and with her intuitive connection to music and sound, I have been able to loosen up my fear and open up more and more my connection with voice.
My experience has been profoundly nourishing and helped me to renew my faith in my own voice. I am eternally grateful to Ambika for all she has taught me during these classes, with heartfelt love and deep respect.
