The Rooted Voice | Somatic Singing

Find Your Natural Voice
A gentle singing workshop for relaxation, confidence, and ease

Many people believe they “can’t sing” — but what they’re really experiencing is tension, self-protection, or a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe yet.

This gentle, welcoming workshop is an invitation to reconnect with your natural voice — the one that exists beneath effort, forcing, or self-judgment.

We’ll use simple, accessible vocal sounds, breath, and body awareness to:

• Release tension in the throat, jaw, and chest
• Feel more relaxed and grounded in your body
• Discover how singing can feel supportive instead of stressful
• Build trust in your voice — even if you’ve never sung before

No singing experience required.
No performing. No pressure.
You’re welcome to participate at whatever level feels comfortable.
This workshop is especially supportive for:

• People who feel blocked, tight, or self-conscious when they sing
• Sensitive, anxious, or burned-out folks
• Singers who want more ease and freedom
• Anyone curious about voice as a tool for self-connection

You’ll leave feeling more at home in your voice — and in yourself.

Many people want to sing but feel blocked by tension, self-judgment, or a nervous system that doesn’t quite feel safe yet.

This 4-week online series is a gentle, supportive invitation to come home to your voice — the natural voice that exists beneath effort, forcing, or “doing it right.”

Rather than focusing on performance or traditional technique, we’ll explore somatic singing: tuning into sensation, breath, and sound as a way to build ease, safety, and trust in your voice and body.
Each session builds on the last, creating a gradual and grounded experience of vocal freedom.

### In this series, you’ll explore:

• Releasing tension in the throat, jaw, and chest
• Singing with less effort and more ease
• Building a sense of safety while making sound
• Letting your voice exist without evaluation or pressure
• Using voice as a tool for grounding, regulation, and self-connection

### This series is for you if:

• You love singing but feel tight, blocked, or self-conscious
• You’re curious about somatic or nervous-system-aware approaches
• You want a gentler, more sustainable relationship with your voice
• You’ve been told you “can’t sing” — or you tell yourself that
• You want to explore voice without performing or being put on the spot

No singing experience required.
No performing. No solos.

You’re always welcome to participate at whatever level feels right for you.
