the power of sound & the human voice to transform people's lives

Hilary Franklin is an inspiring and dedicated facilitator of the Naked Voice, and a very dear friend. She is a very sound healer, whose deep listening skills, singing soul and feminine wisdom, inspired by a range of healing modalities, make her a perfect ambassador of the Naked Voice teachings and presence in the world. Her depth of commitment and service - both as an accredited NV facilitator, mentor and devotional singer - are profound. She has enabled many people to access and embody their own naked voice and authentic expression through her own realisation of sound as a vehicle for spiritual practice. It is my joy to be travelling with her and I encourage you to experience her gifts first-hand too. CHLOE GOODCHILD, FOUNDER OF THE NAKED VOICE. www.thenakedvoice.com “I have known Hilary for five years and in that time she has always displayed an utmost commitment to her own development as a therapist and as a beautiful human being. She is unwavering in her devotion to her growth. This in my opinion is what makes anyone an effective therapist and facilitator. Hilary has journeyed personally where very few people go, through personal transformation and evolution, overcoming a very debilitating health condition. She is a master of personal transformation and therefore highly capable of guiding any of her students." ANDREW FRETWELL, SENIOR UNIVERSAL TAO INSTRUCTOR "Voice and sound work is not new; music has inspired and healed people for thousands of years. Your voice is a powerful, expressive part of you. Focussing on directing your voice to come from a place deep within is a profound and magical experience. You can begin to tap into your own true power and your own self confidence.Hilary combines the voicework with the art of active listening. So often we may think we are listening to people; in fact we are judging them. True listening is a good habit to get into. It is when we listen to someone without the need to offer any response from ourselves. It is called the Witness Consciouness and it allows us to listen more deeply to everything and most of all, ourselves. She also teaches movement and breathwork to assist in deepening this process. Voice work can be emotional - believe me I know! Through my work with Hilary, I have gone from having an acute fear of talking about myself and my feelings to accepting myself more and allowing myself to express my emotions without judgement. This kind of healing does not just happen. What I experienced over a weekend course with Hilary challenged me on many levels but it helped me face up to and start to heal some very painful issues in my life. Hilary is an extremely gifted teacher with whom you feel very safe." CLIENT - KERRI LAWRENCE
