About – Sacred Voice Healing Drum

I have been working with sound all my life – singing before I was talking (so my mother says) and as a child my favourite activities were singing and dancing. I have been working with sound healing for over 20 years, since first experiencing a didgeridoo massage and had been offering experiential workshops around the country and at festivals for a number of years before training in Sound Therapy and Holistic Voice Therapy with BAST. I have also worked shamanically with sound and movement for many years and can offer one-to-one facilitation in this style of ‘Women’s Shamanism’ using sound and movement for journeying and healing and at our Women’s Spiral groups Sacred Sisterhood The next Spiral of 3 days (one Sunday a month) begins in December for the Autumn Spiral.

I am qualified in the BAST method of Sound Therapy: Holistic Voice Therapy, Drum Therapy, Group Voice Therapy, Himalayan Bowl Therapy and Gong Therapy and offer one to one sessions and a variety of groups including Sound baths and Gong baths. Not only is it deeply relaxing and enjoyable for people, I have found it to be transformative and am both humbled and excited at its potential for very deep work.

I have a degree in music and psychology, teach piano, cello and voice and also have certificates in counselling, bereavement counselling, NLP, hypnosis, Bio-Mystical Womb Healing, reiki-seichem and training in lifemusic and Song Therapy.

If you want to develop your voice for singing, public speaking and authenticity I can help.

If you would like to work on any life issues through the medium of the voice (whether confident or not in using your voice) I can help.

If you would like to connect more deeply with yourself and others sound and voicework are incredibly effective.

Many people think you either have musical talent, or you don’t.

And not only that, that you should only sing or make music if you sound good. But I believe it is our birthright to sing, dance, make music and be creative. We have developed a culture of musicians and audience, and been taught value judgements largely through the education system, about what is good and bad music; what is good and bad art etc rather than allowing the joy of the process as a fundamental right and part of the human condition.

People are so shut down around creative pursuits because of the belief about having to be good at it and shame around not. I’ve had many people in my work shut down with their voices due to someone’s careless judgemental comment in the past.

Musicianship, musicality and instrumental and singing technique can all be learned. Ears can be trained. Pretty much no-one is really tone deaf. These are learnable skills, especially if our mindset and inner dialogue is kind and supportive.

In our very recent past we would have all sung and danced and celebrated together. We had work songs and lullabies, Young children don’t care about how Mum sounds, they love to hear her sing.

Everyone has a right to enjoy making music, however they sound. And like anything, the more we do, the more confident we get and the more able we are to make more of the sounds that please us.
