Embody Voice Confidence
A 6 week journey with Nicky West
Commencing Wed August 10th

EMBODY VOICE CONFIDENCE

Our voice is a natural gift yet many of us have issues with speaking up, and expressing our thoughts, feelings and emotions in ways that are authentic to who we are.

Over the years many of us express what we believe is expected of us, or what we have come to believe conforms to the “norms” of the culture we are surrounded by.

And yet more and more research shows how detrimental it is to our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing when we don't feel able to express our true self.

In ancient societies and within some contemporary cultures using the voice to express emotions including grief and joy is a natural part of life.  In the West we have mostly lost this practice.

In this training Nicky will share tools and practices to reconnect with OUR UNIQUE voice, from deep within. 

Helping to overcome doubt &  self-esteem issues that stop us from using our voice and celebrating this magnificent, powerful instrument.

The human voice is the organ of the soul.” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

This training is for all humans who want to develop greater confidence in finding and using their voice.

You might be a teacher, student, facilitator, speaker, business owner or someone who simply wants to ask for what they need and set clearer boundaries.

"The message behind the words is the voice of the heart" - Rumi

What can you expect?

"Imagine breath support and connection as a unit; both work together fluidly and are completely interlinked.  That fluidity is the factor which keeps the voice safe and powerful all the time."

~ Patsy Rodenburg from 'The Right to Speak'

Working with Nicky on Voice Confidence has been an amazing experience for me in more ways than one.  Not only do I feel more confident and self-aware, I also feel my creativity has been unblocked and I am writing and feeling inspired again.  Nicky created a safe space for me to truly be myself, giving me the tools and courage to shine. Her warmth, humour and wisdom have been an incredible gift!  My gratitude to Nicky is boundless! ~Mel – NSW, Australia.

ABOUT NICKY

Hello, I’m Nicky, thanks for visiting my home online.

I’m a storyteller, teacher and coach from the UK and Australia.  I teach weekly Yoga and Voice Classes online.  I also run an online Voice Confidence program and offer One-to-One Coaching sessions.

I’ve been an actor, writer and poet with a passion for social justice for most of my life and first started training in yoga at the age of 17.

I’m originally from the North of England, somewhere in-between Liverpool and Wales.  After living and working in various places all over the world I’ve landed amongst the trees in the Aussie bush with my partner, and the amazing wildlife here.

I’ve always got a little notebook with me and tend to process my experiences through writing, movement, and spoken word. 

Yoga, meditation and the arts took me from a place of anger, rebellion and trauma to a place where I know myself, my truth, values and what I stand for.  It's been a long journey but I follow my heart, my intuition and my discernment whilst listening openly to the wisdom carriers that regularly appear in my life in various forms.  

My intention is to express this truth as compassionately, creatively and generously as possible and to support the change makers to use their voice in creating a better world for all beings.
