Sound Healing with Andrea Goodman

Our voices have the power to heal ourselves and others. In private sessions and classes, we explore our voices freely and in depth, experiencing trust in the process and the magic of intuitive singing and spontaneous harmony. When we allow our voices to pour out, when we allow uncensored expression of our bodies, emotions and spirits, we discover the process of moving through. In the movement and vibration of sound, much is released, revealed and regenerated.

TESTIMONIALS

"Voice lessons with Andrea have led me to discover my strength within, speak my truth, and sing from my soul. It's helped me get strong enough to be my own person." Claudette Gamache, artist

Andrea I found your workshop incredible and still feel the effects. THANK YOU !!! I have found that I just kind of "beak-out" into spontaneous vocalizing throughout the day, now, and it feels like I have a new friend
when I use my voice.----Nance Cusick

VOCAL TECHNIQUE LESSONS
Vocal technique lessons offer a safe, healthy use of the voice that can be applied to singing, speaking, chanting or toning. One learns to use a full breath and make a full sound, to employ the entire range of one's voice, and engage the entire body as a vocal instrument. These lessons value the development of the voice as an instrument rather than a particular style of singing. Singing whole-heartedly supports self confidence and aliveness.

PRIVATE HEALING SESSIONS
Private healing sessions can include Andrea singing to you or singing combined with Reiki, a hands-on transmission of Universal healing energy. They can also include your own exploration of your voice as a healing instrument, expressing physical discomfort and nurturing, uncovering hidden memories and feelings. Andrea teaches clients to clear and energize their chakras with sound. She has also facilitated the clearing of past-life and early life trauma.

IN COSMIC HARMONY CLASSES
In Cosmic Harmony classes, we sing the harmony of balance and imbalance in our bodies, emotions and energy fields, following the stream of sound, revealing and releasing old wounds and treasures. Our work is inspired by various spiritual traditions including astrology, tarot, mythology, mythic astrology, ancient Egyptian Mysteries, Native American ceremony, shamanism, and the visions and wisdom of all participants. With meditation, breathing, moving, sharing and sounding, we experience our place in the cosmic order, we reveal our relationship to transition and rebirth, we assist each other in opening to our new expanded selves.
