Embodied Voice Care
Partner with me to liberate your voice with embodied voice care that reconnects your body, heart and voice.What is Embodied Voice Care?
Embodied Voice Care weaves together movement and voice care practices that support you in rebuilding a relationship with your body, heart and voice. These sessions support voice optimization, they are not meant to be a replacement for voice therapy, but they may support you in maintaining gains from voice therapy.
Embodied voice care might be for you if…
- you’d like support to create a voice care plan to optimize your voice
- you’re looking to feel more connected to your body, heart and voice, but need support with the how!
- you’d like to feel more confident about your voice
- you’re feeling alone with your voice issues
- you feel your voice isn’t perfect enough
- you’re curious about the voice-vagus nerve connection and ways to partner with your nervous system
- you’re doing voice therapy to rehabilitate your voice and need support with maintenance, these sessions are not a replacement for voice therapy!
What to expect
Embodied Voice Care sessions weave together Qoya inspired movement and voice care techniques and vocal wellness education.
The initial session is part discussion of your relationship with your voice, part movement and vocal play. We’ll explore a variety of practices to see what works for you. Together we’ll create a voice care plan which may include 1:1 sessions, vocal wellness workshops and/or group classes.
Whether it’s a 1:1 or group session, expect to spend time noticing sensation in the body. Expect to make silly sounds during vocal play, I’ll make them along with you. Expect to express yourself through movement, there’s no way to do it wrong! Expect to focus less on how the movement looks and your voice sounds and more on how it feels.
Expect that voice care is often a spiral process, sometimes messy. It’s not linear, so we take an integrative approach to find what works for your body, heart and voice.

Why Partner With Me?
I know it can be daunting to work on voice issues alone, that’s why I support people both individually and in groups so we can do voice care together. I take an integrative approach, weaving together voice care techniques and somatic movement practices, drawing from my work as Qoya Inspired Movement teacher and speech language pathologist.
