Transform Lives Through the Power of Singing

Are you ready to transform your passion for singing into a vehicle for profound personal and community healing? Introducing the Sing to Thrive Teacher Training program, designed for those who want to share the joy of music, singing and sound to facilitate powerful, transformative experiences for clients, groups and in retreat settings.

JULIA'S STORY

In 2000, after being made redundant from a high-stress corporate job of 20 years, I embarked on a new journey as a full-time professional singer. Despite my passion, I struggled with persistent throat issues, performance anxiety, and health problems. A transformative encounter with Maggie Landman, a Psychic Healer, revealed that these challenges stemmed from my own limiting beliefs and unresolved trauma. Learning to heal at a fundamental level, I discovered that our voice is deeply connected to our ability to achieve success, wealth, inner-balance, happiness and thriving health.
When we struggle to speak up, set boundaries, or express our authentic selves, we hinder our natural potential to live an inspired life. In 2006, I founded VoiceJam, now known as Sing to Thrive. This journey has been profoundly rewarding, second only to raising my two wonderful children. Through Sing to Thrive, I have had the privilege of helping thousands unlock their potential, set empowering boundaries, rediscover their joy, pursue their dreams, and sing with freedom. My mission is to support others in creating lives they truly love, resonating with the same transformation that has so deeply impacted my own life.

MADDY'S STORY

I learned early in life that not speaking my truth or putting myself first were coping mechanisms for not feeling worthy or deserving of a joyful life. Negative belief systems, self-judgment and self-consciousness caused emotional triggers that blocked my expression, and I was never comfortable just being me. Ever since, I have dedicated myself to inner growth, liberating my voice from the constraints of perfectionism, and building up my confidence.

From participating in singing groups from a young age to stepping into a leadership role at 16, thanks to the supportive framework my mother created, I quickly learned to lead with confidence. Now, even as I guide adults much older than me, I’m grateful to leave each session feeling respected and acknowledged for my voice and my ability as a singing leader while providing progress that is much deeper than just singing technique.

Running my weekly singing circle is the highlight of my week. There’s an electric sense of unity when people from all walks of life come together to sing in harmony. Each session is a powerful reminder of how singing is a potent tool for self growth, connection and personal transformation.
