Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic modality based on the premise that we have multiple points of view inside of us. Do you have a part of you that wants to perform and another part of you that wants to skip the audition? Inner disagreement causes a lot of stuckness and confusion! IFS helps you tap into different parts’ perspectives, to gain clarity on your career direction. We also identify parts of you that protect you from failure, like your “inner critic,” that contribute to vocal tension and perfectionism. Behind your parts, you have an authentic Self that is creative, confident, and calm. When you access your Self, singing will be easeful and joyful again.
Brainspotting
Did you know that where you look affects how you feel? Brainspotting is a healing modality that uses your eye position to release stress and unlock creative potential. We all have a tendency to look off into the distance when discussing something upsetting, or to gaze in a certain direction when talking about hopes and dreams. Brainspotting selects different eye positions to target emotional blocks and expand you into new creative territory. Integrating Brainspotting in sessions helps you to release performance anxiety and limiting beliefs and embody positive emotional states like joy, courage and self-worth that free your singing.
Reiki Healing
Chakras are energy centers that influence our experience of life. These centers — located at our root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown — hold the energy of past and present beliefs. They also absorb the energy of other people and our surroundings. We can feel weighed down after an interaction or after visiting a certain location. Then when it comes time to sing, we feel blocked, tight or numb. We can do a body scan to determine where you are carrying energetic burdens, and use reiki (Universal Life Force Energy) to support you in becoming clear and grounded. Through releasing energy that no longer serves you, you can feel more open and radiant in your vocal self-expression.
