Using Your Voice as a Tool
for Trauma Recovery
Free webinar with Allison Davies
We all relate to that feeling of ‘losing our tongue’ — not being able to think of the words, feeling like our perspective isn’t worthy of being told, our voice disappearing, shaking, croaking, losing volume.
Many of us know specifically the moment our voices were taken from us, but for many of us our difficult relationship with our voice stems from a lifetime of tiny moments, tiny comments. Being told to mime in the choir, being told “if we have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all”, being told to stop stuttering, mumbling or crying.
Not being heard. Not being believed.
All of us have a checkered past with our voice, so it may surprise you to know that when it come to trauma recovery, our voice can be our biggest ally!
When our brain hears our own voice it feels in control.
When we whisper gently to ourselves our nervous system is soothed.
When we express our emotions loudly they’re less likely to become pent up inside us.
When we read or sing out loud our breathing becomes controlled.
Come and join me for my next free webinar, Using Your Voice as a Tool for Trauma Recovery, where I’ll host a 1 hour webinar followed by a 30 minute Q+A.
Every registrant will receive the replay. The webinar will run at two different times in order to cater for our global audience:
Wednesday 6 March
8pm AEDT
Thursday 7 March
11am AEDT
This webinar is for all. Not just for people who believe their trauma is big enough, or debilitating enough, or their voice suppressed enough.
Every one of us benefits when our relationship with our voice is nurtured and becomes a tool for safety.
Alli’s teaching is rooted in a trauma informed framework. This is a neuro affirming and inclusive event.

Hi, I'm Alli.
A former Neurologic Music Therapist who stepped out of the allied health system after 16 years, and now focuses on enacting societal change by dismantling harmful musical myths.
As a woman I was suppressed by the systems that told me to ‘be seen and not heard’, to ‘stop being hysterical’, to ‘not give up my day job’ in response to my musical expression.
Others were led to believe that not being able to play an instrument, sing in tune or access lessons meant they were ‘not musical’. Some were told to mine in the school choir. Many were punished for using their voice to speak up.
These systems are coming to an end.
AND WE ARE THE ONES DISMANTLING THEM.
To be human is to be musical. And once we step into our full power as musical beings our lives will transform in ways we never knew were possible.
The Magic and Medicine of Music is my six week program that delves into the connections between music and the brain. It’s a guide to re-membering your voice and experiencing music the way you deserve.
By the end of our six weeks together you'll be expressing yourself musically in a newly authentic way, striving less to meet external expectations, using your voice in powerful ways and facilitating music with children in ways they deserve to experience.
