Nice to meet you !

My name is Ofri Eliaz

I have three professional hats. I am a singer and musician. a voice technique teacher, I am a psychotherapist as well as a music and vocal therapist. What all these professions have in common is music, which is an important and very significant part of my personal and professional identity. For as long as I can remember, music and singing were significant tools for me for personal, group and professional expression and growth.
