Voice Alchemy Course Reflections
“Wow! What a sensational course. This is by far the best course I have done online.
The way it’s structured allows for an intimacy and connection with the group unlike anything I have experienced online before. The content is profound and life changing if you’re ready to go there. Not only do I enjoy the sensation of resonating now, I also feel more comfortable with being vulnerable and authentic, learning to accept who I am in my full range of colour and flavour.
This is a must do for anyone who wants to explore their unique voice, both in expression and sound, and to understand their vulnerabilities or default protective responses that sometimes stop us from truly connecting to ourselves and those around us.
Elisha is an amazing human who gently and safely guides you on a journey to the deeper parts of yourself. This course is an investment to help you experience living more deeply and authentically.”
This Course offers freedom, confidence and a career in music and mentoring…
Every Body can sing.
We are literally resonance chambers in a constantly vibrating molecular instrument. When we drop comparisons we can unlock our own, unique offering.
Your Voice is the Loud Speaker for your heart.
Your Heart is the interface for your Soul’s divine expression.
Vocal Freedom is more than just learning to love your voice.
It’s discovering your vibrational nature,
understanding your technical body instrument…
and how to use it with joy & power.
It’s about uncovering the negative beliefs and masks that have kept us small, or hidden… and ‘best-friending’ them back into our wholly accepting heart.
The journey to unlock your voice & your unique offering can be a vulnerable journey.
So we’re here to support you all the way to your full unapologetic expression.
