SOUL SONG TESTIMONIALS
Aimee embodies and offers a form of teaching that is multidimensional; grounded in its methodology and open to intuition and spirit’s guidance. She knows how to skillfully read each students needs and compassionately craft a space of trust, devotion, and love where I could try, play, fail, and grow. In only a six day intensive I learned so much from my edges, and about my potentials and gifts, beyond any expectations. Aimée is a truly gifted teacher and healer!

If you truly want to discover the joy of your own song within, this course will do that for you. You may, as I did, even lose the fear of singing. You will be held, nurtured, challenged, and if you keep showing up... radiantly transformed and ready for your primal voice to add to the glory of the world and your life.

What Are the Benefits of Attending the 6-Day Soul Song Intensive ?
“The benefits of Soul Song are immeasurable. They include a versatile range of tools and exercises to improve and protect the health of my voice, the conscious capacity of my breath and it’s vital relationship with my voice. Beyond this is the deeply emotional and spiritual work – I feel stretched, far and wide with intelligence and empowerment.
I felt safe, and that is of the utmost importance. There was room for self -exploration, natural unravelment, and just the right amount of nudging to push me past my habitual stopping point. My voice feels more at ease. More accepted by me. More taken care of… Invited to share itself more fully with me and others… comfortably owning and acknowledging it’s absolute Greatness. You helped me to my edge, and got us dancing! The vibration of this workshop has saturated me with healing… I am different. I am changed.” ~ Hanna Lose Frahn

“I see my own growth and learning, as well as that of my classmates. I have been gifted with practical tools and support for improving my singing voice. These tools will continue to be part of my vocal story as it unfolds. Also, I love the intimacy, trust and joy shared in this small group, the mutual support for each person on their vocal and spiritual journey. I’m leaving with increased confidence, improved technique and the freedom to find and play with my vocal abilites.” ~ Gary Perless

“What I receive from Aimee is how to embody my voice; her deep knowledge & experience of movement and anatomy. Also, her deep knowledge of singing, and development of the voice through her background and lifetime of experience. Aimee is present for EACH student all day every day and creates a space of emotional safety .
I am amazed and filled with deep gratitude that I have achieved my main intention, which was to rediscover and reclaim trust in my voice. I felt encouraged to believe in my path, and that my unique voice has value and is beloved. I see this workshop as Soul Transforming, not just about voice or vocal technique. At the same time the skills taught are professional level for singers. When I lose my way and doubt my voice, I now have a big toolkit of practices to help me re-connect, and “re-love” my voice.” ~ Heidi Mattern

" The word empowerment isn't what drew me to this course, but it is has been what I have been enjoying since our time together. I really just wanted to sing more authentically. I had no idea how much my life would shift just by freeing my voice. Since our 5 days together, I have found my voice stronger in many situations: work, socially, and most fun, singing. My voice is much more open and free. I don't feel as if I have to work so hard to create a beautiful sound. The continued use of the exercises makes it effortless to just start singing anytime I want. My voice surprises me sometimes... I don't recognize it as I'm singing. I love that my voice can continue to evolve at this age." ~ Cheri Schuyler
Yoga Instructor, Singer
"From my work with Aimee individually, then through the Soul Song intensive, I have developed an entirely new relationship to my voice and vocal power. Through the more immersive and connective nature of the Soul Song Intensive and bonding with other people sharing the journey, my discomfort about sharing my voice got broken wide open. It was so clearly more than just using my vocal chords. I was pretty sure with some basic training that my voice could be trained. What I wasn't clear about was that it was my heart being connected to my voice that needed some re-training. Training in how to release instead of just being stuck in my constantly recoiled and protected state.
This work has made more of a difference than I had dared to imagine. Whatever that barrier was that I could not name or describe is just gone. It is so cool. Someone could ask me to sing or speak and now I would just say "okay", instead of some weird self-deprecating thing. It really is the pure joy of sharing. My voice just feels so different in my body. I notice all of these sensations I didn't even have a clue about before. It is just holistic now instead of feeling forced.
I can't thank you enough Aimee. I am a new and willing woman because of the work I have been able to do with you. I will recommend this to anyone I know who wants a stronger connection to their heart and soul song for any reason!"

Please Describe Your Experience of the Soul Song Course...
"Nurturing, warm, loving, compassionate...held in Grace. Much different than I anticipated - so much more to feed the Soul! I loved the freedom to explore. This journey has me connecting more deeply to myself, and spirit. Technically, I am able to bridge gaps between my registers better, and I have increased comfort singing for others in an intimate setting! I am able to allow "the authentic one" to come out of hiding.
You have such a loving spirit and kind approach to teaching. Your somatic technique is brilliant. How wonderful you are! Thank you so very much. It was incredible." ~ Donna Bruer

"I greatly appreciate the DEPTH to which I was allowed to go (because I felt supported and safe) in this soul sounding and song experience. I freed inhibitions and found joy in making sounds and got to experience a sense of "enoughness" and ease. I would recommend this course to others, because it works! I found it to be a rich experience; I am different, more loving to myself than when I came to the workshop." ~ Maria Maltiano
"My voice has strengthened, moving toward a sound quality I desire. I am stepping more into my power, and vulnerability, and having others witness that. Today I sang my song with much more ease, and fun, and authenticity!!! Thank you for making the practices fun, encouraging play, non-judgement, exploration. I appreciate all the practices you have incorporated, all the varied knowledge you brought completely enriched my experience. Thank you for how you held the space, Aimée, how you held each of us." ~ Carrie Rautman
SIX MONTH TRAINING:
"I would so recommend this program!!! This Soul Song Vocal Empowerment Program has been one of the most precious gifts that has ever come into my life. The six-month process not only is about discovering how powerful the voice is but how powerful a total person is. This program encourages an aggregative transformative experience, and an awareness about the difference a relationship with voice, soul, Source, Nature, body and spirit, etc. can create. It is a program like this that creates leaders in this world, and brings living beings beyond surviving to collective thriving.
I have gained the ability to express myself in powerful vocal, physical and spiritual ways that connect me with deeper awareness of where my truth comes from. I find myself able to make bolder moves towards being the healer, guide, vocalist, artist, purposeful being and so much more that I am. I have a new confidence that I don’t have to convince myself of, I just have to trust and relax into what truly wants to be expressed in the moment I’m in. I gained an ability to be authentic in front of strangers, acquaintances, friends, family, individuals and groups. I’ve gained joy and love in singing without shame or embarrassment, no matter how it sounds. I get to sing with others and share with them parts of me that needed song and intentionality of expression to really shine. I am taking more responsibility of my truth and how I relate that truth to others. I have a better relationship to my family and am able to highlight my important points vocally as well as listen for the important points of expressions shared by all my family members. This has created a deeper connectivity and healing than I could have ever openly imagined before the six months. It was over the six months that catalyzed a life journey of getting to know me on depths that I never thought possible.
This experience has propelled me into a purposeful life that voices the truth of me and takes the actions to fulfill my visions for the total living being. I could think of no greater and humble, loving facilitator to guide me in the most catalyzing experience of self-expression that I have ever embarked up. Aimée Kelley, you’re a gem and I look forward to us glimmering upon a collective path of empowering healing soul truth for All! Wow and Awe!!!! Thank You and Deep Bow to You." ~ Lindsay Brooks, Wilderness Coach, Iraq War Veteran

What would you want someone to know if they were planning to take this workshop?
It was wonderful, uplifting, renewing, and gratifying… It’s what you’ve been wanting to do but keep putting off, or devaluing the importance of singing and practicing. It’s worth taking time out from busy lives! ~ G.P.
About the support, and the opening that can occur. That there are no requirements of your voice pre-course. That it tears down the stories of societal views on the voice and song. How deeply this can access your truth on multiple levels for your own exploration of a bigger, more realized YOU! ~ H.L.F.
Everyone… EVERYONE would benefit from this work, even if you have exceptional resistance to it. The balance of bodywork, supporting exercises, specific refinement, alone time, group work and one-on-one lessons was simply PERFECT. I feel confident and comfortable highly recommending this to folks wanting vocal training. This is equally about personal work as it is about vocal training and guidance. Many levels of “RIGHT ON!” ~ H.P.

I would encourage them to set aside clear time; not be involved in other things while taking the course. I would say if someone is looking to improve their singing, or gain confidence with singing, this workshop is perfect. ~ H.M.
