My practice is rooted two signature approaches:
is my innovative communications framework. It shifts the way you see, relate to, and hold space — in a room, on a stage, or in conversation. It’s about presence, energy, and the small adjustments that can change how people respond to you. Whether you want to lead with confidence, present with impact, or tell stories that truly connect, Spaceshift helps you get there.
Small shifts. Big presence!
is for women, to help you to reclaim your voice and presence in professional spaces. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, interrupted, or unsure how to assert yourself, this is for you. Hear Me Roar builds confidence, vocal presence, and the skills to speak up and be heard — without losing your authenticity or warmth. Blending yoga, breath, and voice work, we also explore your sonic history — the ‘who’ of your voice — in a holistic, supportive, and healing environment.
From a whisper to a roar!

"The art of communication is the language of leadership"

WORKSHOP EXAMPLE:
Presence
Helping clients to be fully present sits at the core of my work, and I engage with a number of ways to teach presence, from Patsy Rodenburg's Three Circles of Energy to Michael Chekhov's Radiation (as he said, “you can't radiate without being present, and you cannot be present without radiating”).
I'm especially interested in how we inhabit space. My work resists exhorting clients to 'take up' or 'command' space. My approach is kinder ... I invite you to climb into space (there's plenty to go around, after all!). My workshops cover:
-
The Three Circles of Energy: a method created by world-leading acting and voice coach Professor Patsy Rodenburg OBE;
-
‘The Shape of You’ (with apologies to Ed Sheeran) – how your posture and gestures speak volumes;
-
Vocal techniques: pitch, projection, tone, resonance, rhythm, pause, pace and why vowels and consonants matter;
-
Listening skills: being present and holding space for others is a leadership skill.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Tatiana, Actor
I was fortunate enough that Josie was my teacher when I was at my most impressionable and vulnerable and she managed with care, meticulous attention and endless fun to shape me into the courageous, honest and open performer that I am today, and I wouldn’t be where I am without her.
Roger, Banker
I reached out to Josie to work on my voice in both my professional and personal life. She's been great at tailoring sessions around my needs. Each class is different and touches on many subjects; from easy tools to improve breath, elocution and projection to more situational exercises to widen my comfort zone. Most importantly she's put me at ease from day one. I highly recommend working with her!
Nadine, Purser
Working with Josie and discovering my voice/voices through her various approaches is not only engaging and memorable but an empowering experience too. Her enthusiastic approach is like none other. She is fully present, full of ideas and able to change tactics to suit different situations, all while offering support and confidence throughout your journey.
"Human presence is a real and tangible force. It transforms all around it. When you speak with full presence your words live, inspire, provoke and prevail."
Patsy Rodenburg
