Unlocking Emotional Resilience in Children with Tonia Cianciulli

Tonia Cianciulli is an artist whose talents span singing, writing, public speaking, and mentoring. Known for her versatility and emotional depth, Tonia has captivated audiences across North America. Her multifaceted career includes everything from operatic performances to the creation of original music, with a special focus on spiritual and healing themes.

During the global pandemic, Tonia found solace in the recording studio, producing two albums that reflect her journey through uncertain times. The first, Hymns of the Heart, features a collection of beloved hymns, including a new original piece, "My Voice Belongs to Him," written specifically for her. This album, set to be released in October 2021, highlights Tonia's ability to convey deep emotion and comfort through her music.

In addition to her work in music, Tonia is an advocate for artists' psychological well-being.

She also hosts interviews and live sessions that spotlight Canadian artists, further contributing to the creative community.

Flick Your Heart-Light On, Let Your Fears Be Gone offers a unique and powerful tool for both children and their caregivers. With its engaging and straightforward exercises, this resource helps children harness the strength of their hearts to navigate and manage difficult emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, and sadness. It's a mother-daughter collaboration, with her daughter Sophia creating the illustrations for the project.

Currently, Tonia is working on a new book focused on self-development for artists while homeschooling her two children and balancing life between Toronto and Miami.
