and is presently on the faculty at new Jersey City University in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre.  After a singing career that took Adria around the world, she withdrew from the spotlight to explore a deeper calling. 


After four years of study she graduated as a life coach in 2006, and added Reiki to her credentials in 2003. Adria's constant quest for knowledge has caused her to explore first hand, other traditions and philosophies. Her spirituality is present in all she does, but it is a practical everyday spirituality, with its feet planted firmly on the ground.


As a life coach, Adria combines all of her talent, education and experience to inspire others to discover their true values, authenticity, and joy.

Adria is a respected performance coach, specializing in work with singers, actors, speakers and voice actors.  Sessions are available in role study, creating characters and voices, voice development and care, career advancement and marketing strategy.
