I sing because I'm free 🦋
The Voice Doula Philosophy, Creed & Current Offerings
Throughout my childhood, music was always my go-to for stress relief and management, whether it was taking my frustrations out on the piano or blasting loud music in my room. It was the vibrations and the frequencies of music that helped my body & my nervous system come back into balance. I understand now that singing songs and dancing in my bedroom mirror was my instinctual response to express emotions that I didn’t know how to regulate.
Sound is created by moving air molecules that create energy waves that are detected by the technology of our human ear drum and felt throughout our physical & etheric bodies. Our bodies, and all matter, consist of vibrating cells and each organ has its own base frequency. Music and sound has been used for thousands of years to harmonize & attune these frequencies for healing of our mind-body-soul.
Across the globe, people use sound, such as drumming, chanting and other musical elements in ceremony and healing rituals because of the healing power of this energy. In Western medicine, this technology is sometimes labeled as ultrasounds/ultrasonic therapy and music therapy. Now, after over a decade of music training and research, I have remembered and have proof that—
Music is medicine.
Based on my training as a vocal & choral music educator, full spectrum birth doula, and sound healer, I believe:
the voice is an instrument for self-expression & self-led healing of the nervous system
the voice is central to nervous system regulation & healthy communication styles
the voice has the power to harmonize frequencies of the body & spirit
singing is spellcasting and can create new timelines
the voice is a muscle that requires attention and care
remembering the medicine of singing & humming will help the collective heal
In all of my sessions, I am guided by my praxis for self-led vocal liberation that is based on four pillars: Align, Inspire, Express, and Attune. These pillars encompass my values as a vocal liberation doula because they focus on holistic care for vocal artists, rather than prioritizing classical vocal techniques and music reading fundamentals.
However, with me as the Voice Doula, YOU tell ME what you want to focus on in your sessions:
🌟Do you want to learn how to read music? Let’s do it.
🌟Do you want to write songs? Great, tell me your story.
🌟Do you want to work on a song to sing at karaoke later on this month? You’re a rockstar.
🌟Do you want to prepare for an upcoming audition? Let’s get to expressing.
🌟Do you want to receive support with a creative idea or project? Can’t wait!
My sessions are co-creative and center your lived experiences & desires. I have a large toolbox to pull from that can support many different needs and creative goals.
I am here to support artists, creatives, dreamers, & visionaries reclaim their vocal sovereignty & birth the life of their dreams through creative expression.
This praxis is informed by the following areas of knowledge—
vocal technique & performance
performance arts education & curriculum design
childbirth education & birth doula practices
decolonial storytelling (i.e Ethnoautobiography & Critical Discourse Analysis) & songwriting
nervous system-informed somatic work (vocal-vagal connection)
sound healing with voice
mystic arts & divination
