Somatic Singing Experience

An Embodied Voice Experience for Presence, Resilience, and Connection

A half-day experiential workshop using voice, breath, and embodied practices to support nervous system regulation, authentic expression, and group coherence. Offered in corporate, retreat, and leadership off-site settings. No prior singing or musical background required.

The Experience

Rather than simply a performance or vocal training workshop, the Somatic Singing Experience is a guided, embodied experience that uses the voice as a pathway to presence, emotional regulation, and human connection.

Participants are invited to explore sound gently and at their own pace. Listening, silence, and non-verbal participation are always welcome. The emphasis is on safety, choice, and embodied awareness rather than technique or outcome.

This work supports individuals and groups in reconnecting with their own voice—both literally and metaphorically—in a way that feels grounded, accessible, and deeply human. While each workshop is a complete, standalone experience, the work lends itself to repetition over time as participants integrate and embody the practices introduced.

Who This is For

This workshop is well suited for:

  • Teams seeking burnout prevention resilience

  • Leadership groups and executive off-sites focused on presence and communication

  • Retreats centered on wellbeing, creativity, or personal development

  • Groups interested in embodiment, expression, and deeper connection

The core experience remains consistent, with pacing and emphasis adapted to the group and setting.

Over the course of her career, she has worked with hundreds of students and clients in individual, small-group, and large-group settings, supporting people of diverse ages and backgrounds. Her work sits at the intersection of vocal pedagogy, holistic psychology, and somatic experiencing, informed by higher education in music and performance as well as research at the University of Zurich and affiliated institutions.

Testimonials

  • I worked with Christie during a period of intense anxiety and insomnia that was having a huge impact on my life. Christie helped me get my feet back under me with patience, understanding, and tremendous empathy. Her calm demeanor in some of my most difficult moments gave me the confidence to trust her and let go of fears that I was experiencing. She was intuitive about what I needed in a given moment and was knowledgeable about resources to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

    —Ben, US

  • The somatic singing sessions with Christie have finally helped me open up. For years I sensed something inside me that needed expression. I’d never really sung, not even in the shower, yet now I can’t get enough of it. Christie’s empathetic guidance released a block within me, benefiting both my mind and body. I’m constantly discovering new tones resonating from deep inside, which feels amazing. I’ll definitely keep attending her classes and remain a client.

    —Viktoria, Switzerland

  • I can confidently attest to Christie’s ability to meet people where they are on their growth journey, empathize, offer them curated tools and strategies for growth and overcoming obstacles. Christie helped me discover the full range of my ability, and develop familiarization with my strengths and my gaps.  I found particular benefit in exercises with somatic components, of which we tried a few just to see if they helped. It looked eccentric for vocal lessons, but it worked. Looking back, I was finding some self-imposed obstacles caused by lack of confidence and shame. Through practice, exercise and intentionality, Christie gently helped me through, at my pace.

    One of Christie's most striking characteristics is her apparently inexhaustible positive energy. I always walk away from interactions with her feeling more energized.

    —Francisco, Switzerland

    —Brian, US

  • Christie guided me through my first plant medicine experience and made me feel completely safe and cared for before, during and after. She has a deep intuitiveness toward peoples needs, emotions and journeys. Always seeming to know when I needed support and when to let me have my space, Christie was never far with her calming and comforting presence. I would absolutely recommend her as a guide no matter what your experience level is.

    —Amy, Switzerland

  • The main character on this journey is you - there is no escaping this.

  • I really loved working with Christie. She has such a kind heart and soul, you immediately feel drawn to her energetic and playful spirit. She always made me feel welcome even if I didn’t feel at ease with myself. She listens very well and reassures you that everything will be okay. I learned a lot from her - especially that everything is there for a reason and that nothing is really bad, it’s just what we assign to it. I definitely recommend her!
