The Psychosomatic Vocal Expression stems from a traumatic medical experience in my childhood that shaped my development and which, almost as a natural consequence, led me to a professional career that has been intuitively guided by the process of rebuilding and the search for answers. This life journey enables me today to offer a space to listen, feel, understand and accept your voice just as it is, and to accompany you on your journey towards your goals.

Every vocality is unique: a gateway to our inner worlds, to the history of our personal relationships and to the auditory heritage that bears traces of the cultural, historical and social environment in which we grew up. It reveals the traces of our adaptations to our surroundings, including the toll they have taken; voices and silences, and shapes our character structure.

“…voice is an indicator of different phases in a person´s life. It is free from static qualities."   Paul J. Moses

The process of exploring one’s own voice is based on a humanistic approach, grounded in an understanding of the body’s energetic mechanisms, the regulation of the nervous system, neuroscience’s insights into brain plasticity in learning processes, vocal physiology, and role-play and symbolic exploration.

I tailor the process to each person’s objectives and their everyday professional and personal context. My approach is an invitation to rediscover spontaneity and the expressive possibilities of the voice through empathic listening, and by refining one’s perception of the somatic experience involved in using the voice, singing and speaking. I encourage  the development of your vocal identity through the conscious choice of your expression and  personal narrative, moving away from vocal imposed aesthetic constraints. I help to dismantle  limiting beliefs, fantasies and images about our voice and about ourselves,  always within a safe physical, symbolic and relational space.

Identify and validate the vocal characteristics that make us unique it' s a priority issue, as well as, to perceive how the body and the mind organise themselves during vocal or speech activity. We identify on which level arise the obstacles airse for a full and mature vocal expression , on a physical, mental, emotional or relational level. A voice is built within a relationship; for this reason, beyond  techniques and approaches,  the core of Psychosomatics of  Vocal Expression lies in the quality of presence that accompanies you throughout the process.  My role, therefore, is to listen to you on this journey, respecting your pace, your choices, and any vocal technique you may have learnt previously. I create the conditions for an experience of co-regulation, a fundamental element in any process of building or rebuilding a voice, a coherent vocal expression – and, ultimately, a person.

"No one would question the fact that the human voice could lose extension, power and color as a result of a concrete emotional experience, but  why do we create doubts around the voice being able to develop it self  by  taking profit of another set of emotional circumstances?" Alfred Wolfshon

The voice – whether singing or speaking in public – is not a professional  preserve.  Living fully through your voice is your own right. Psychosomatic of Vocal Expression is for anyone who wishes to rediscover their own voice through genuine expression that enriches their relationships. It is also for those for whom their voice is a fundamental tool of their trade and who need or wish to enhance the quality of their presence and communicative authenticity: music therapists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, helping professionals, actors, singers, dancers, teachers, journalists, lawyers, salespeople…

You will discover that your voice regains its rightful place as a means of expression; you will experience greater ease and expressive flexibility, along with a deeper connection to your vitality. You will be able to cultivate coherence between intention and expression, discover the capacity of  the voice as a means of self-regulating our emotional states, increase and strengthen your presence, reduce levels of unnecessary effort, develop self-esteem and improve your self-concept, as well as regain authority over yourself and acquire simple physical techniques to cope with stage fright.

"The ability to sustain, contain and deliver your voice in harmony with your body transforms the concept of ‘I am’ into a biological reality.’ Roy Hart

What matters is what a person internalises and integrates whilst developing his own voice, their singing style and their way of being in the world – with themselves and with others. It is essential to end each session with a greater sense of vocal possibilities, feeling more connected to one’s voice, and with a delivery that is consistent with one’s expressive intention.

"A rich voice is a rich means of self-expression and denotes a rich inner life. To regain their full potential for self-expression means use the voice across all its registers and in all its emotional nuances. The blocking of any emotion will affect their vocal expression.”  Alexander Lowen
