“Give voice to what you know to be true, and do not be afraid of being disliked or exiled.
I think that’s the hard work of standing up for what you see.”
- Eve Ensler
Holistic Voice Therapy
Holistic Voice Therapy is a combination of voice, breath, movement and mindfulness techniques which helps you to enter into a conversation with yourself and support you in improving your health, life and reach your original blueprint of wellbeing.
Some of the techniques are active, which means the client will participate in the activity alongside the therapist who is in a supportive role. Other techniques are more passive, where the client receives deep relaxation, laying on a madras or sitting.
Before and after the vocal part of the treatment, some reflective practice will be done together with both the client and therapist.
The 1:1 holistic voice therapy sessions are tailored to suit the client and can help the client work on specific issues or more generally on their wellbeing. You will be invited to reflect on areas of your life that may have an impact on your health and wellbeing.
A client-centred approach to holistic voice therapy is a method in which the focus is on the individual's personal needs, wants, desires and goals, so that they become central to their care and healing process. This places them as the expert of their own experience and as an active participant in their own healing journey.
“I hope your voice will always feel free to express. I hope your throat will feel open and that any blocks or tension will alchemize into beautiful stars on the night sky. I wish for you to feel confident and joyful when you speak your truth and allow your unique voice to be heard.”
- Louise Gade
The method of Holistic Voice Therapy weave two different therapeutic approaches.
The first approach is the, Passive Voice Therapy. Here you will receive a treatment of gentle tones and overtones (harmonic singing) in a technique designed to guide you into a deep state of relaxation similar to deep meditation. Also known as an altered state of consciousness. Deep relaxation without sleeping can enable us to access other levels of consciousness and rebalance/reset our wellbeing and body chemistry. Research has shown that many physical, emotional and mental health benefits can be achieved using this approach such as reduced stress, less pain and tension in the body and a positive mood state.
The second approach, is called, Vocal Processing Technique. Here you are guided through different voice, breath, movement and mindfulness exercises that are chosen with relevance to your specific symptoms, situation and needs.
Which approach is being used I will decide in our first session based on your specific needs and wishes. It might be that I weave both approaches during the session or if we have several sessions you will most likely experience a version of both.
No previous experience or perceived ability in singing or movement is needed in order to receive the benefits of Holistic Voice Therapy.

Review
“The very first consultation I felt a very safe and calming energy from Louise, and my body responded immediately to her tones and sounds. They directly penetrated the areas I came to work with. I felt the energies move, lift and change with the sounds, like an intuitive, vibrational dialogue. Louise is very gifted and I would recommend her to everyone that feel compelled to access (and release) their bodies through sound. What a powerful practice.” - Anne
