About Me
I was born in California and raised in Mexico. I come from a blend of Mexican and Belgian heritage, so moving between languages and cultures has been a constant in my life. As an energetically sensitive child prone to sensory and emotional overload, I often turned to songs and stories to make sense of the world.
My first loves were singing, writing, and music. Creating layers of harmony that move together has always felt like magic. One of my first breakthroughs came when I realized my body had a voice and I could hear it!
I studied a bachelor’s in Music and trained as a pianist, composer, and singer. I became fascinated with the voice as a bridge between our conscious mind and unconscious universe. My passion for sound, body, and voice led me to study sound healing at the Sound and Consciousness Institute in California and Buddhism at Naropa University.
Ana Cristina Caelen has been working with the voice for over 16 years. A multicultural and multilingual artist, she has a BA in Music and an MA in Buddhism. Her most notable musical piece to date is ‘Of Roots and Trees,’ written for Mexico’s renowned Cuarteto Aurora in 2011. Her passion for language, music, mysticism, and hearty characters you can sink your teeth into led her to publish Wilding Souls, her debut fantasy novel, in 2022. Soon after came the Tapestry Of Selves trilogy. She also shares her sensory poetry on Substack through her publication Wyrd Incantations.
Throughout my years as a music professor and voice coach, I found that poetry and fantasy literature complemented my work. Creative writing and sound share an extraordinary bond: unique languages that can express all kinds of possibilities.
So in 2020, when mysterious synchronicities and revelations began to transform my life from the inside out, I let them. I followed the threads of intuition and allowed myself to craft a world, a tapestry of voices, and wrote a trilogy that wove it all together.
Suddenly, the whole spectrum from silence, to sound, to voice, to word—came fully alive!
Energy opened up and my body-mind reconfigured as I tuned into deeper layers of expression, clarity, and creative power. My nervous system found its musical rhythm.
Creative embodiment became a new language, one that I feel called to share with others. This is how Voice Magic was born. It is a path I continue to walk and explore further every day.
I’m delighted you are here with me.
