Holistic Voice Therapy

This is a pioneering and exciting qualification using the voice as a healing tool and is the first registered course with the CMA, ICM and BCMA in the UK. This course is suitable for people who have a keen interest in using the voice as a therapeutic tool in a dynamic and transformational way. This is an in-depth training course that gives the student many opportunities for taking their work into different areas of the community once qualified. No experience is necessary. 

Methodology
Throughout the course techniques will be taught that incorporate voice, movement, breath, postural awareness and energy work to allow both practitioner and client to work together holistically. There are two methods of treatment which we call ‘active’ and ‘passive’. The passive treatment involves the client receiving a sonic scan of their energy system which highlights imbalances and gives the practitioner a good indication of where to focus the treatment. The practitioner then makes their intervention by using tones, overtones and other vocal sounds to help to rebalance the system. Gentle grounding tools are used at the end of the treatment to bring the client back to the ‘here and now’ before scanning again to see what has changed. The client is then given exercises to continue at home to help to support the healing process between treatments.

The active treatment also involves scanning the client before and after the session. Following the scan the practitioner selects from a range of ‘Vocal Processing Techniques’ which may involve breath-work exercises, gentle moment, toning and other vocal exercises designed to help address the imbalance that has shown up on the scan. Practitioners can also choose a combination of both active and passive methods.
The practitioner is given support throughout the course to enable them to select the appropriate techniques to use with their clients to assist them in transforming their symptoms. We will be looking at the voice as a doorway to the three body/mind system and as a powerful tool to facilitate change. It is our aim that the techniques taught on this course should enable practitioners to work with most symptoms that a client might present including anxiety, stress, self-confidence, pain and trauma. 

The format
Students attend college one weekend a month from September – July in the first year (excluding December and August) and every other month in the second year from September - May. This is a highly experiential course which encourages self-reflection through coursework by working with the techniques at home. This course aims to facilitate transformation by encouraging students to look at their own processes before working with others. 

The Diploma in Holistic Voice Therapy is awarded to students that have successfully completed their coursework, case studies and research project as well as theory and practical examinations. Although this may sound daunting, no previous experience is necessary and our tutor team aim to make the learning process fun and accessible for students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course it is our aim that students will:

• Have a good standard of knowledge of Holistic Voice Therapy
