What is Voice Activation Coaching?
I knew I wanted to help people and I knew I wanted to do it from a more holistic, spiritual angle, but I had no idea what that would look like. I had a background in music, sound healing, music education, speech pathology, and past life regression hypnosis, but how to even bring that together along with my love of tarot, astrology, etc was a complete mystery plus I was dealing with my confidence in this new field where I did not feel I had really found my niche. My coach at the time, the amazing Becky Wiley of Soul-Aligned Sisters, suggested I use my own music and make a song for myself to build my confidence. What started as an experiment in using my voice to bolster my confidence became a revelation. The more I listened to myself singing, the more obsessed I became with my voice and the power it had to shift me very quickly out of a negative mindset.
I wondered how others could use their voices to see themselves differently and make different choices and I found that not only could people learn to enjoy using and hearing their voices, but it shifted something within them. Through voice activation circles, I began experimenting with some simple voice practices to improve self-acceptance and self-perception. Thus, voice activation coaching was born, a mix of heart-centered actions and heart-centered voice work to change the way you feel, the way you heal, and the way you show up in the world.
Voice activation coaching uses principles of goal setting and cognitive-behavioral strategies I have learned as a speech pathologist, musical and vocal techniques I learned from my background as a musician, and intuitive and healing modalities such as reiki, spiritual and past life regression hypnosis, Akashic Records readings, oracle readings, and astrology. Combined together, these holistic practices make up voice activation coaching.
A core principle of voice activation coaching is listening to your own voice. It sounds so simple, but it is so incredibly effective and singing is a part of it. Singing activates multiple brain regions and using sound and music through entrainment where your brainwaves access subconscious states through just listening to artfully and skillfully played music that anyone can do creates real changes in the way you think, feel, and behave. The actions you take then reinforce these new patterns as the evidence of the new way of being in the world manifests.
Voice Activation Coaching looks different for every person, but starts with an intake form and goal setting followed by voice and sound practices from the very first session. It’s a journey inward and magic is part of the equation. My prayer is always to support the seeker in getting in touch with their own inner voice and wisdom, and feeling into their own vocal expression. My job is not to tell you what to think or how to think, but to help you uncover your own wisdom, make your own choices, and experience the freedom of your own empowermened voice.
Seekers find the voice practices incredibly empowering and perception shifting and these practices can be used the rest of your life. Whether it’s a difficult life transition, an identity shift, a block, excessive anxiety, or a spiritual awakening, voice activation coaching can provide you with an accessible tool that has innate healing power unique to you - a tool that you were born with and that you may not even think to use this way. And to think, it was there all along!
