There are times in life when we need more support—when we realize we want and need new ways of relating with ourselves, our life and our relationships. Perhaps you are feeling there is something deep within you wanting expression that does not yet have words. Maybe there are sounds, words, songs, loud and quiet utterings that haven’t yet had the right environment or support to be expressed. When you meet with me, I will help you in discovering how your nervous system and your voice is a tool of healing; where there is room for all of your emotions and sensations; all of your undiscovered sounds and vibrations yearning to be expressed and nourished.
How is this different from a Somatic Voice Lesson? This is a process that is slow and gentle and rooted in the work of Somatic Experiencing. We work at the pace of your nervous system, giving space for its natural unfoldments and cycles, often dropping below meaning and thoughts into a somatic sensory space. It can take time for the body to feel safe to unwind, and somatic experiencing gives you the time to BE with sensations in your body that may have been difficult to feel due to trauma, but once felt, begin to move and cycle into a healing rhythm within your system. Depending on what arises in a session, there may be more time spent on allowing your body to complete inhibited defense responses. I may also use my crystal alchemy bowls and voice help to open up a space for you to connect and receive nourishment, to drop any agendas, and see how your body can find some regulation and rest. Or we may tone and sing together as a way to feel more deeply what is going on in our body and emotions. Or explore how your voice can be a way to work with boundaries and give voice to your needs.
“Sometimes all we need is a witness and the space to drop back to our very own Self.”
Musical tools that may promote healing and wellbeing:
Singing/sounding has positive effects on heart rate variability and helps regulate your nervous system
Singing scales of the modes: each scale has the potential to awaken different emotional and somatic sensations
Singing/toning on one vowel/one note: every vowel has the potential to connect us with various parts of our body/mind/heart
Connecting breath with sound: consciously using breath with sound has the potential to regulate the nervous system and cultivate joy and emotional release, and peace.
Sing melodies: may unlock stored emotions and sensations in the body as well as elicit the state of play and wonder
Sensing areas of the body that have ‘something to say’ and sounding from these parts
Improvising: awakens curiosity, playfulness, lights up the brain, and allows us to be in the present moment. Teaches us to become more comfortable and relate with ‘the unknown’
