YOUR PATH TO AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION
THROUGH THE VOICE
with Nicole Gagnon
Fall in love with your unique & Brilliant voice
This is a program designed to help you on your journey towards a more authentic and empowered self. An invitation to explore your world through the art of vocal expression.
Unlock Your Magical Potential
There is transformative potential in nurturing your self-confidence, resonating in harmony with life, and connecting with the magic that resides within you. You are a limitless being that has been gifted a divine instrument capable of creating such incredible beauty. When you dedicate yourself to this honorable path of vocal work, you awaken Infinite possibilities for authentic connection to, and appreciation of, life.
Follow the Path of Devotion
Devote yourself to the vocal path and its ancient creative mysteries, its natural healing potential, and its potential to foster community vitality. Reclaim your voice as an integral part of your life. I believe that singing, whether individually or in groups, fortifies our communities, reminds us of our true worth, and guides us to the wisdom needed for embodying our vital role on this beautiful planet Earth.
Embrace the Culture of Song
Influenced by teachers from diverse cultural backgrounds, I've come to understand that every community possesses a musical thread that keeps it vibrant and alive. A culture's songs reflect its relationship with the land, love, and core values. On an individual level, your voice tells your unique story and expresses your gift to the world. Explore how your voice honors your life's journey and the experiences and values that define you.
Honor Your Lineage
A friend once pointed out the striking similarity between my voice and my mother's. This revelation prompted me to listen more closely to her, and eventually to the world around me. Connecting with your body and senses through your voice opens your perception to see the patterns that entwine you with life's mysterious beauty. Voice work encourages you to observe, explore with curiosity, identify patterns, and build a deeper relationship with life.
Voice work is based on fundamental breath, body and inspiration practices that support your authentic expression, creative endeavors and how you relate to yourself, the world, and beyond.
I have always been drawn to singing. Photos of me as a little one capture me clutching a turkey baster and singing into a tiny recording device. I don't share this to prove I was destined to sing. Rather to express that there was within me an innate desire to sing. Sadly, this desire was systemically repressed so that I spent many formative years not singing, eventually becoming so scared to be heard that I let myself go quiet, avoiding and neglecting this part of me that had given so much joy, freedom and colour to my life.

I've learned to know and share my truth with confidence, foster deeper connections in my relationships, enhance my embodiment practices, communicate with nature, and hear and act upon my intuition — all because I've come to trust in my voice.

Since I met Nicole a few years ago, it has been an absolute joy to see her hone her skills as a vocal artist as well as a facilitator. In my experiences, singing with her always feels like coming home.
- Brittany
Singing has always been one of my biggest fears - I would rather run naked through the streets of downtown than sing a song in front of my mom! I thought that my voice was hurtful to other people's ears, and that everyone would just be wishing I would shut up.
But some intuitive knowing drew me to take a chance on Nicole, and I discovered a way for singing to be truly pleasurable and easy! I felt safe being in a group of people where I could both hear my own voice and blend it into the collective sound. I am just starting to understand how somatic and soulful singing can be, and can attribute this bravery to Nicole's gentle and inviting presence. Her teaching style is playful, grounded, and makes everything feel truly easy.
If you are scared to sing, or on the fence about joining this space, I implore you to join a fellow scaredy cat like me! I know you'll find the same gentle joy that I have found, and that the world needs more people like us to step and own our voices. Having walked this path herself, Nicole truly is the perfect guide for this journey, and embodies everything she teaches with grace and ease.
