Jocelyn Rasmussen, MMUS began her career as a singer. She studied and sang jazz and popular music as well as classical and operatic repertoire. Over 20 years of teaching voice lessons, master classes and seminars in New York City she witnessed how life experiences, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, affect the voice and the ability to express oneself. The transformational capacity of the voice inspired her first book Meant to Be Heard.

For over a decade she has been in treatment for late-stage ovarian cancer, and the hope and healing she experienced during this time have grown into her second book, This Day Won’t Come Again with forward by Dr. Akira Sugimoto. As an inspirational speaker, Jocelyn shares her own evolving story along with wisdom and inspiration to support hope and healing for us all.

Jocelyn has recorded two albums of original songs: Just Love Away and Singing Is Praying Twice. Since returning to Canada, she continues her work in Toronto and London, Ontario, where she lives with her partner, Doug Thompson.
