Trust Your Voice
A Meditative Vocal Journey
Do you doubt your voice?
Are you yearning to sing and speak freely, yet feel like you’re never good enough?
Do you tend to put others’ opinions before your own inner voice of truth?
Are you highly sensitive, overstimulated, and maybe even burnt out in this achievement-oriented culture?
Your truth was never meant to be silenced, and you do not have to stay stuck in fear – your voice is a gateway to self-trust.
Are you ready to open up your voice? Join me, Clara Strauch, in this self-paced, pre-recorded online course.
I have combined vocal and spiritual practices in Trust Your Voice — based on my fifteen years of working as a trained actor and singer united with my decade-long path of mindfulness meditation and earth-based wisdom.
The voice is a powerful medicine. In a world that tells you that you're too sensitive, or never doing enough, this course can help you relax and anchor deeply into yourself so that your unique gifts can emerge with ease.
You were always good enough, and you can trust your voice.
The Holistic View
Vocal practices stimulate the vagus nerve, which helps regulate our nervous system and activate the relaxed parasympathetic rest and digest mode.
When we open and free our outer, physical voice, we may also unlock our inner voice, as in: our truth, emotions, needs, intuition, and creative gifts.
When we connect inwardly through mindfulness meditation, it becomes easier to vocally express ourselves authentically and with ease.
There is a collective need to integrate yin qualities – such as slowness and softness – to establish safety for sensitive souls to blossom. And that is what I wish to help you with here, through working gently with the voice.
The voice engages every part of our being; the breath, the mind, the body, the emotions, the passion, and more. That’s why this course is divided into those elements – to help you befriend your whole self through the voice.

Acknowledgements
This is a self-paced course. It includes around 4 hours of pre-recorded videos and audio lessons, with additional written material, and it is divided into 4 modules or "elements" (see the curriculum above). You can choose to either do each element as an hour-long immersion into that theme, or you can break it up into smaller chunks, because the lessons within each element are short (5 to 25 minutes). You choose what pace works best for you.
$200. You have lifetime access.
No. This course is suitable for beginners. And it can also be a great support for people who are experienced with the voice and/or meditation.

Former student“Strauch brings her diverse background to life through dreamily creative songs full of emotion and story.”
Atwood Magazine Music Review“Raw, vivid, orchestral, and emotional, Strauch's Persephone is a look back on the hints of light and darkness that, together, make up what it means to be human...a full-bodied collection of gorgeous, meditative arrangements that take us on a slice of life's overall journey, painting moments of heartache that inevitably give way an enlivened, heartened place by our adventure's end. ”
