When the Nervous System Relaxes, the Voice Opens: The Foundations of Embodied Voice Healing6/8/2025 When the Nervous System Relaxes, the Voice Opens:
The Foundations of Embodied Voice Healing In my sessions, we begin with a simple truth: Safety comes first. Sound comes after. This is not a method that forces the voice to perform, but one that invites the voice to remember—to reawaken naturally from within the body’s own healing rhythms. The first focus is always the nervous system: unwinding it, stabilizing it, tending to it like a garden in need of water and presence. When your body feels safe, your voice emerges without effort. This is the essence of Embodied Voice Healing—a modality born in my yoga classes in Costa Rica over a decade ago, and continually refined through working with thousands of people across the earth. Vocal Embodiment Begins With Safety Many voice coaching methods focus on technique—how to shape a vowel, how to project, how to sing louder.

We’re not just doing voice work—we’re doing *soul retrieval* through sound. Nada Yoga Meets Somatic Wisdom My work is rooted in Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, and merged with somatic practices that support:
What Clients Experience Clients often tell me: > “I didn’t know I was holding so much.” > “I’ve never heard my voice like that before.” > “I feel more like *me* again.” These sessions are a space for deep inner listening and embodied expression— not to perform, but to come home to yourself. Whether you’re a singer, a speaker, or simply someone who longs to reconnect to their voice and nervous system, you are welcome here. Voice reclamation is life reclamation. And we begin, always, with the breath. Want to Experience It? I am here to hear you. And your voice is ready to return.
