This 90/90 sequence with phonation shows how we coordinate the core before moving into strengthening exercises. No bracing. No gripping. Just clear relationships between breath, building and managing intra abdominal pressure, and integrating the voice.
When the core coordinates well, the larynx gets to do its job.
The sound feels easier.
And the body feels like it is working with you, not against you.
This is the kind of work we build week by week inside the Vocal Resilience Academy.
The second clip has been edited for social because of time constraints. In class, I take more time with the straw phonation. That portion has been clipped here.

This movement is called Cranial Tai Chi, centered around the SBS, the sphenobasilar synchondrosis.
I learned this work last weekend at the Craniosomatics course, and it was truly one of the most transformative classes I have ever taken. Moving through this without a prop lets me feel how subtle cranial motion organizes through the whole system.
Bringing this work into my hands and into my body has been incredible. My voice feels more stable, more responsive, and more easeful than it has in years, especially during a season of instability with perimenopause.
I am already seeing meaningful shifts in clients I have begun applying this with, and I cannot wait to continue practicing, integrating, and expanding this work as I head into Levels 3 and 4 in April.
Deep gratitude to Dr Flo and Dr Dallas Hancock for creating such powerful, thoughtful work.

A glimpse into why we look at the body connection for the voice, all the way down to the ground.

A major part of our stabilization is the base of your big toe. If your body is hanging out on the outside of your feet, your voice can feel the full advantage of feeling (literally) grounded, and stable. Using something as simple as a band under your 1st metatarsal, to give sensory information to the area shying away from being used, can help you find your full foot, and the body will reverberate all the way to the top. With Akshara, I saw it immediately influence her right rib cage and, of course, the voice.

The Vocal Resilience Academy was created for those who want to explore this connection, and get out of holding patterns your body feels stuck in, to open up your authentic voice.

Breathing is not just about air.
It is about pressure, position, and how the intrinsic system, which includes our pelvic floor, builds and manages pressure.
These are short clips from this week’s Vocal Resilience Academy Pelvis class. You are not seeing the full drill here, just moments that highlight how breath and pelvic floor coordination are being explored rather than forced.
The towel offers feedback, not effort. The work is about listening, timing, and allowing pressure to move through the system instead of bracing against it.
When the pelvis cannot adapt, the body often looks for stability elsewhere. Low back. Jaw. Neck. Throat. The voice feels that shift.
Academy members, take a look at my 90/90 position in this video and tell me which way you think my pelvis is lateralized.

Long travel days ask a lot of the lower body.
This is a simple lower body routine I use when I travel, whether on a flight, on the train, or in a car, to support circulation and reduce the likelihood of blood pooling during long periods of sitting.
I do this before rushing to stand and get off the plane, as well as about every 20 minutes while seated. I also make a point to get up and walk about once an hour when possible, and to stay well hydrated throughout the flight.
Small movements done consistently can make a meaningful difference for venous return through the legs and pelvis.
Safe travels.

Had a blast in today’s session of The Vocal Resilience Academy week 3 - The Pelvis.
Same weight. Different side. Different organization.
This video is about ipsilateral vs contralateral holds and how each one encourages a different rotational strategy through the body.
Holding load on the same side often biases more external rotation and stacking through that side.
Holding load across the body often invites internal rotation, cross body organization, and a different pressure response.
Nothing here is random.
The body organizes around load, orientation, and rotation long before we think about individual muscles.
Give the nervous system options.
Change how pressure is managed.
Join the waitlist for our April Academy cohort.

Grounding is not just a feeling. It is measurable. Grounding assessments help us understand how the body organizes support for breathing movement and voice. When grounding is unclear or inconsistent, the system adapts. Those adaptations can show up anywhere, including in the voice, breath, or overall coordination.
Vocal Resilience grounding drills are not about forcing stability or fixing a symptom. They are about giving the nervous system clearer options for support so the voice can function with less effort and more consistency.
This is the framework we work from inside The Visceral Voice Vocal Resilience Academy. We assess first. We build coordination from the ground up. And we let the voice emerge from a body that feels supported.
If this approach resonates, the Academy may be the next step.

Join us January 21 at noon EST for From the Ground Up: Smart Yoga for Hypermobile Bodieswith guest presenter Jamie Terry.
This class offers smart, accessible yoga designed specifically for hypermobile bodies. You will learn how to build poses from the ground up, moving with awareness and strength rather than pushing through end ranges. The focus is on cultivating stability, confidence, and ease within your safe range of motion, one intentional choice at a time.
If you are hypermobile and looking for a way to practice yoga that actually supports your body, this class is for you.

When working with self-massage, depth comes from time, not force.
Allow your hands to meet the tissue gradually and respectfully. You should never feel sensations like numbing, tingling, pulsing, or throbbing. If you do, pause what you are doing, and move the tool. Even a few millimeters can make a big difference.
Stay present. Stay curious. Stay gentle.

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do for a tongue tie is not to release it yet.
An adult with a tongue tie has spent a lifetime organizing their body around a structure that cannot fully rest, suction, or move against the palate. Stability, grounding, breath, and regulation are often supported through the tongue as a strategy the nervous system has learned over time.
A release without preparation can feel like removing a familiar support before other options are available.
That is why I often ask for time first.
Time to build grounding that does not rely primarily on the tongue.
Time to explore breath, pressure management, and full body support.
Time for the nervous system to feel safe enough to change.
When the tongue, the body, and the nervous system are ready, a release if it is necessary becomes a step forward.
Not a disruption.
This work is never about rushing tissue.
It is about listening.

Straight teeth do not always mean a well organized body.
Check out our newest episode of the Visceral Voice Podcast with my friend and colleague, Mike Cantrell.
We explore what can happen when teeth are straightened without considering the cranium, the spine, the nervous system, and the airway. We talk about dentistry as a neurological intervention, why headaches and dizziness can begin after braces, and how the mouth influences posture, movement, and voice.
If you are a singer, teacher, clinician, or someone who thinks in whole body systems, this conversation is for you.
Episode dropped today, have a listen on our YouTube channel, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.
