What is Holistic Voicework?
Holistic Voicework is an approach to working with the voice in a multidisciplinary way. The principle behind this is based on the idea that the nature of voice is complex and is affected by a wide range of factors which all merit development. It is a common theme to work in a person-centred way and to perceive the voice as relating to the whole person, rather than just their vocal mechanism. There are many different practitioners who work with the voice in a holistic way and each has a unique approach to their discipline.
Holistic Voicework has the potential to be utilised as a powerful therapeutic tool and as a result can create significant shifts in your life. Therefore it is important to find a practitioner who resonates with you and can support to to feel safe and comfortable in any work you do together. Your sessions should provide a safe space to explore your voice in a way that feels comfortable to you.

The True Voice Creations approach:
5 Elements of Voicework
My methodology is based on the Chinese philosophical framework of the 5 Elements; Mental, Wood, Earth, Fire and Water which are likened to 5 areas of importance within vocal development; Psychological, Physiological, Social, Emotional and Spiritual.
This is a practice that will support you for life, offering new insights throughout your differing stages and seasons. The power of working holistically with these 5 Elements offers the potential for our authentic vocal expression to be fully realised and expressed.
Finding your True Voice is a continual learning journey, not a final destination. Equip yourself with the necessary skills to be able to navigate your own path with confidence, purpose and authenticity.
Pyschological
The power of our mind, how we learn and what we think about our voice.
The awareness of our feelings and how we allow these to be communicated.
Physiological
The health, wellbeing and strength of our body instrument.
Social
The relationships we have extending out into the wider community and how these connections shape our expression.
Spiritual
The beliefs we have about life and the Universe, and how these inform our conceptual framework of voice
These interconnected qualities are all aspects important to voicework. It is possible to explore each component individually in more depth or simultaneously and side by side.
The overall aim in this Holistic approach is to bring all elements of vocal development into balance and resonance with each other; to invite our fullest, most authentic personal expression.
These additional frames of reference enable clients to be appropriately referred and signposted on to additional support resources where needed.
