COMMUNICATION AND VOICE COACHING
COMMUNICATION COACHING
Creating Effective Communication Through Emotional Clarity
Coaching is a diverse field with many subspecialties. From intimacy and relationships to nutrition and gender empowerment, coaching can be a useful tool to help you explore both broad and niche aspects of your life that traditional psychology and psychiatry do not fully encompass.
​
I define Communication Coaching as an exploration of the dialogue you have within yourself as well as the external ways that you relate to others. I consider both of these aspects of communication, internal and external, as crucial elements in how we show up in relationship.
​​
Our inner dialogue can be broken down into several components that all overlap and interact with each other. Childhood experiences and genetic inheritance inform how our nervous system is wired from a young age, and are the building blocks of thought patterns and belief systems that we carry into adulthood and serve to inform our emotions, thoughts, and actions. How we see and “talk” to ourselves plays a significant role in how we construct or disassemble our concept of self.
​
Changing how you communicate with yourself internally can shift your sense of identity, purpose, and self-worth.
​
Your outer dialogue is your self expression through communication with others, and carries tones and resonances that are unique to you. How you communicate with yourself is also directly reflected in how you communicate with others because effective communication requires inner clarity about your emotions, thoughts, and preferences. When you hold a deep understanding of what you feel, why you feel it, and how your feelings inform your behavior, you can communicate more honestly and effectively with others. Clear and authentic communication is often a hallmark of healthy relationships of all kinds: from professional relationships like co-workers, supervisors, and CEOs to personal relationships like friends, family, and intimate partners.
​
Put more simply: Your mind, emotions, and body are all connected. Understanding these connections can help you appreciate what your body is communicating to you, and how. When you understand your body’s “codes”, you can share this clearer understanding of self as you communicate with others.
If you're ready for more honest, heartfelt, and deeper connections in your personal or professional life I invite you to start your journey with me. I provide tailored support as you decode your body's unique signals and cultivate inner emotional clarity and learn to express yourself with unshakeable confidence.
HOW COMMUNICATION COACHING WORKS
Together, we explore where emotions live in your body and identify the first “flags”, or changes, in the body before the wave of emotions and reactions arrive. When you learn to catch these flags before they transform into action, you begin to gain mastery over your state in real time. ***
​
The more you participate in the inner conversation between your body, your emotions, and your mind, the more skilled you will become in peeling back the various “layers” of self and exploring your emotions at the root of their activation. What lies beneath the surface are the keystones of your true identity and often reveal who you really are, inside.
​
I like to call these hidden gems your “core truths”.
​
Once realized, your core truths can help upgrade your belief structures and re-inform the way you experience life itself, both internally and externally.

When new awareness births a desire to modify how you verbally express to the world around you, I can help ensure that your voice doesn’t get left behind! It is often not what we say but how we say it that makes the bigger impact when we are trying to express something important to us, and if you would like to discover how powerful your voice can be, I would like to help.

CEREMONIAL
TATTOOING
Throughout history, humans have commemorated profound transformations through body art. Tattoos can be much more than decorative; they can symbolize our metamorphic journey, activate multidimensional resonances of sacred geometry, provide closure and healing, and much more. I can assist you in developing a design that honors the path you’ve walked and merging that design with your body within an intentional container of sacred, loving care.

TESTIMONIALS
I would not hesitate to go to Meg for support or direction on my psychological and spiritual path. She has been instrumental to me in continuing to overcome the most difficult things I have experienced in life. From caring for me when I was in disbelief as my life changed, to helping me transition to my new normal as life evolves her impact is hard to quantify.
“Meg’s ability to listen and interpret where you are coming from is invaluable, and I leave sessions feeling uplifted and empowered. I have personally advanced in my healing due to her insight and intuition. This has allowed me to step into versions of my former self that I had previously felt was not attainable. It is with those breakthroughs I am realizing I am capable of being more than my individual setback. For this I am grateful.” -Pam
“I have gone all in on learning and Meg supports me in the endeavor. I understand far more about myself and life as a result of this process. She is able to reinforce and validate the learning I do alone while also introducing me to new information or ideas when appropriate. Her contribution to my life has been very important.” -Dan

VOICE COACHING
Finding Your True Resonance
What’s in a voice? Well…lots! The words we choose can be important, but it’s how we say the words that gives them deeper meaning and maximizes the impact of what we are trying to express. This is the difference between a flat, dry “I love you” and a warm, heart-melting “I love you!” overflowing with emotion. The words remain the same, but the resonance we imbue them with determines how they change the world.
​
What does your voice say about you to others?
​
Does your inner voice match your outer voice?
​​
While you consider these questions, let’s break down two big parts of voice: pitch and resonance.
​
Pitch is the tone or tones we produce when speaking or singing, and are represented visually as sound waves. Pitch is sometimes called frequency, which is named for how frequently the sound wave repeats itself.
​
Frequency is what you generate. Resonance is how your frequency affects the world.
​
Resonance is the result of those sound waves bouncing off the walls of a contained space, reverberating in a bowl, or reflecting off the person in front of you. If you sing a single note with your mouth wide open (i.e. “ahh”) and then round your lips, a different sound will be produced despite the pitch remaining steady. This change in sound quality is attributed to resonance: when you change the shape and size of the cavity (in this case, your mouth) the quality of the sound changes with it.
Resonant frequency, then, is the specific frequency (think tone) at which a system (like our mouth, chest, or even our entire body) naturally vibrates because the vibrational force matches the system’s natural frequency.
​
Okay, this science lesson is complete! So let’s go back to those questions.
​
How do others receive and perceive your voice?
​
Imagine the sound waves your voice creates: they vibrate outward through your mouth and bounce off of people you speak to. Perhaps those bodies begin to vibrate in a resonant frequency in response to the vibrational quality, or frequency, of your voice. They not only resonate with your message but also your voice, which carries your message with the energetic codes of your emotions and intentions. This is how your frequency affects the world around you.
​
Does your voice feel like “you” or does it feel like something is misaligned, or missing?
​
Just like all physical objects and spaces, your body has a resonant frequency that is completely unique to you. What I call “true resonance” is the pure and natural sonic expression of your soul, and I would love to help you discover yours.
HOW VOICE COACHING WORKS
There are five major pillars of voice: pitch, resonance, weight, contour, and volume. Additionally, there are extralinguistic factors such as body language, gesture, and facial expression that all contribute to the how in how we express ourselves in communication.
​
Using recorded samples of your voice and bio-feedback exercises, we work through each of the pillars; making adjustments that liberate your voice from unconscious constrictions and activate the resonant frequencies of your body. Together, we explore tangible ways to sculpt your voice into something you love to use, allowing your true resonance to be heard and felt by those around you.
​
Accessing your true resonance can open doors you didn’t realize were closed, transforming how you share yourself with the world.
