It’s all about the voice. What it means to activate and enjoy your voice – freeing up patterns it can weave in script, speech or sound. How we transform, express and align ourselves with the greater story of Life.
I’m fortunate to have a voice that helps provide food and shelter for my offspring, so whether it’s training, performance or therapy you’re after, that’s where the money goes.
Aged 23, I was diagnosed with a large brain tumour – a young musician who’d moved to London. Singing, writing and performing helped me through my parents’ divorce in childhood, and my brain injury as an adult (see ‘Brains On Toast’ Theatre show and ‘The Brain Tumour Song’ ). I got into Audiobook narration just in time for lockdown, when it became tricky to do sound healing face to face.
Wellbeing
“The medicine of the future will be music and sound” – Edgar Cayce
In a society beset by perceptions of lack and self-doubt we stand a better chance of happiness by creating it for ourselves.
Song Therapy is a way of using the universal language of music to bring balance to the whole person. Anthems to lift us up and inspire us, potent whether or not we wrote the songs ourselves; always on our internal radio even when the batteries die on our media players.
Rewrite the script of a favourite tune with a message that resolves a traumatic issue and that message makes new pathways in the brain, changing our patterns of behaviour.
Tackling this in a session together is much like changing the words of a pop song to amuse your mates. Same skill, different application. Taking charge of our direction when life brings stormy weather, instead of being blown off course by it.
SONG THERAPY
It’s been said that songs are ‘Time Machines’. They have a way of transporting us to moments in our past; they can give us hope for the future.
