Authentic Voicework

It's been amazing to see the places where "Authentic Voicework" as a modality flows to - Now, doing work with women who have been exploited / turning their lives around for the better - helping them to find their voice, become comfortable and find safety in areas that are rightfully their's (their voice/their body) - but were held against them in exploitation, manipulation and abuse. With the Epstein survivor stories now so rampantly on the international stage, and in the political battlefield, I'm so happy to be part of the uprising to help free survivors of trauma, exploitation, codependency and abuse and help these women find freedom in their voice again. Please Sojourn House Women reach our goal to raise $20,000 to keep the work of Sojourn House going strong into the New Year! 🩵
