ABOUT ME...
Hiya! I am Victoria Perks, better known as “ViX”. My music career started as a 15 year old school girl, when my friends and I formed “We’ve got a …FUZZBOX… and we’re gonna use it!!” for a laff. We achieved international success and had an amazing experience. “Fuzzbox” is still the UK’s most successful all girl-band (who play instruments).
I learned so much from this rollercoaster ride and all the years before and since, that I became passionate about sharing my musical and personal skills with others to help them be the best they can be.
I now have more than 20 years experience as a Music Mentor, Wellbeing Advisor, Workshop Leader, Teacher, Reiki Master, Guest Seaker and Lecturer and regularly add more skills to my offering/skillset. See Gallery.
I empower all kinds of people from all walks of life to achieve their personal goals, develop a positive growth mindset and improve their overall wellbeing, in an interactive, relaxed and fun way, using a unique medley of life skills, tools and techniques.
I love working in collaboration with like-minded creatives for workshops, events, retreats and projects and am always open to ideas. I am also a lecturer and guest speaker. I can work 1-2-1 or in groups online or in person at my HAPPiLiFE Zen Den and Zen Garden.
I’m currently working on an exciting new music project incorporating healing sound frequencies, mantras and interactive music making! Stay tuned for more news as it happens...
ViX is a highly valued colleague. Her insights and research vigour have been invaluable throughout our discussions. She can apply herself to diverse fields with ease and is a joy to work with. Mark Sheppard - Researcher
