If you ever thought you want to sing but you can’t, that there is something that isn’t allowing communication, if you were told that is hard to hear you when you speak, or that you speak too loud or you just feel that the voice is the soul’s shelter… Then, this can be a good moment for this as our voice and body posture works as a vehicle for our energy, and our psychological and breathing behaviour.

We will connect voice and body in one unique instrument, obtaining, as a result, the power to be able to speak your truth and make others understand your feelings.

Depending on your goals, a typical music therapy session lasts between 30 and 50 minutes similar to sessions with a psychotherapist, you may choose to have a set schedule for music therapy or choose to work with a music therapist on a more casual “as-needed” basis.

Before your first session, you may want to talk things over with your music therapist so you know what to expect and can check in with your primary care physician if needed.

“Let’s seek our true voice with precise voice, body, and breathing exercises, entering our gravity centre in an effective and everlasting way – our abdomen-centre –, balancing and releasing the blocked energy on the top part of our bodies. With this method we will be able to release tensions that prevent us from a truthful and free expression, obtaining self-confidence as a result” Romana.
