Artistry

Vocal Coaching
Ritika offers Voice Yoga, a repertoire of techniques and practices that use breath, voice vibration, and resonance to stabilize and settle our nervous systems, as well as Lessons in Voice Culture, which uses the continuous loop cycle of the Tanpura and ‘mirror-singing’ as a format of interaction.

Organizational Consulting
Through her LLC WeCollab, Ritika offers services tailored to empower individuals and organizations in their mission to create lasting impact, secure funding, and effectively communicate their stories.
