At VOICE UP, you make your voice heard
Your voice is more than sound. It's the way you show up (and stand out!) in the world. At work, in relationships, in the life you are building and living.
At Voice Up, your voice takes centre stage. Whether you want to speak up with confidence in meetings or deliver a presentation that lands, stop making yourself smaller in spaces where you matter, or simply can't wait to sing along in the Voice Up Pop Up Choir —
You're in the right place!
My name is Natalie Lukkenaer. In 2007, I moved to Kenya to found a music academy for young and ambitious singing talent. In July 2025, I returned with my family to Oegstgeest, right next to my hometown of Leiden. The voice has always been at the heart of everything I do.
Voice Up is the opposite of shut up. I believe deeply that every person deserves to be heard.
Maybe you find it hard to speak up at work. Or there's something you dream of, but somehow you never quite start. When you speak your dreams out loud, they can become reality...!

1-on-1 coaching: for people who are ready to stop playing smaller than they are. We work on your voice, your story, and your confidence to speak up, on everything that's holding you back; old stories, imposter syndrome, that little voice in your head. So you can dare to speak up and show up again. You are allowed to take up space!
-
Voice Up Choir: the most accessible way to make yourself heard, because singing together works. Science backs it up, and anyone who's experienced it knows it's true. You feel lighter. Connected to the people around you. A place where you're free to be heard.
-
Voice Up Circle: Voice your dreams. Voice your values. Voice your boundaries. In this group programme, you learn to use your voice; literally and figuratively. We sing, speak and feel, so you can take that next step with real confidence. Send me a message for more info about the launch dates.

Corporate workshops: I help teams find their voice in the workplace. Presenting, speaking, showing up with conviction, and without a mask.
I attended the first edition of Voice Up on March 13 with a couple of girlfriends, and it was truly a memorable experience. The event was beautifully hosted by the incredibly warm and enthusiastic Natalie Lukkenaer, whose energy set the tone for the entire evening.
One of my friends had never sung in a choir before, and as a professional musician myself, I deeply value opportunities that invite everyone to experience the power of making music together. Voice Up did exactly that—creating a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone could participate and connect through singing.
The venue, Pauluskerk in Oegstgeest, added an extra layer of magic with its stunning atmosphere. It was especially heartwarming to see mothers sharing the experience with their children, and I would love to see even more male voices join in future editions to enrich the collective sound.
A heartfelt thank you to Natalie for inspiring us and creating such a joyful and uplifting experience. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Natalie is amazing! She was referred to me as an NLP and voice coach. When we met, I was a burned-out development executive recovering from the worst six months of my life. I was about to celebrate my 50th birthday and Natalie worked with me to craft my birthday toast in which I wanted to meaningfully express my thanks to all family and friends who supported me during the painful journey these last months. She helped me to find my voice, literally, metaphorically, physically, emotionally and in every aspect possible. I couldn't recommend her enough. She is also an amazing singer and has managed one of the top bands in East Africa. If you want to make your voice heard, as a singer, office-based professional, activist, policy maker, student or anyone from all of life, I couldn't recommend Natalie walks enough. Plus she is a wonderful person and simply fun to work with!

I had a great experience with Natalie. She was able to help me on a personal and professional front by guiding me and helping me find inner confidence again. She helped with get to some practical solutions as well as some personal development goals that I will continue to work on with her. After the session I felt that a weight had been lifted, and I walked out with confidence and much more clarity.

Natalie has truly made a difference in my life through how she uniquely delivers her life coaching together with vocal/singing lessons. Her valuable holistic approach includes talk therapy, singing exercises and ambition setting. I truly appreciate her active listening, detailed insights and pragmatic advice. Through her sessions I was able to understand how central my voice is to my wellbeing (speaking up) and purpose (passion for music and creativity. I have been empowered to continue work towards a more fulfilled life. I would recommend Natalie's sessions to anyone who is looking to take charge of their life, find their voice, fall (back) in love with music and their ultimate purpose, plus commit to their self awareness/exploration journey.

During this online meeting, we get to know each other. You’ll share your goals and the challenges you’re facing, and we’ll take a moment to connect. I’ll tell you more about VOICE UP! Coaching, how we can support you, and what a personalised coaching journey can look like.
You’ll get an immediate taste of the Voice Up approach, because even in this first conversation you’ll experience how coaching can bring you clarity and direction.
If we both feel it’s a good fit, we’ll move forward together!
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you need depends on your goals and the support you’re looking for. That’s why we offer different options.
It’s important to know that NLP Coaching is transformative. We explore the deeply rooted values and beliefs that shape your choices and behaviour. Some of them are helpful, while others may need to be re-examined in a new way.
In every session, we look at what’s holding you back from taking action and what you need in order to move forward. Sometimes you may notice resistance coming up. That’s completely normal. Doing what you’ve always done—whether it was effective or not—often feels comfortable. Change requires courage, honesty, and a willingness to try something new.
And that is the power of coaching: step by step, we break through the patterns that no longer serve you, so you can start doing what truly aligns with who you are.
