How to Find Your Authentic Voice as a Teacher, Facilitator or Space Holder

Francie La Flow teaching a Vocal Flow class at The Yoga Barn in Ubud, sitting on the floor beside her guitar

You stand at the front of the room. Maybe it’s a yoga class, a workshop, a women’s circle, a retreat, a team meeting. People are looking at you, waiting for you to begin. You open your mouth and a voice comes out that doesn’t quite feel like yours.

It might be a little higher than your everyday voice. A little faster. A little too careful. Or it sounds exactly like the teacher who trained you, cue for cue.

By the end of this page you’ll know which “teaching voice” you tend to slip into, why it happens, and seven simple practices to find the voice that’s actually yours, so the people in your room feel you, and you feel at home leading them.

Try this first (about 90 seconds)

Sit or stand comfortably and let your jaw hang a little loose. Sigh out loud twice. Now hum on a low, easy note for a whole exhale, and notice where you feel it buzz: chest, throat, face. Take one more breath and speak the first line you usually say to open a class, starting on that same hummed note, slower than feels normal. Something like “Welcome, let’s begin by arriving.” Notice how different that sounds from your usual opener. That’s closer to your own voice.

Here’s the piece most teacher trainings leave out. You can learn every cue, every sequence and every bit of philosophy, and still not sound like yourself, because your voice is run by your nervous system before it’s run by your mind. When part of you is busy protecting you in front of a room, your voice is the first place it shows.

I’ve been teaching since 2008, and most of the people I train are new to teaching or new to using their voice in front of people. I see this every single time. The good news is that your authentic voice is already in there. It mostly needs to feel safe enough to come out.

What “authentic voice” means when you hold space

Your authentic voice is the voice you use when you feel safe enough to be yourself. It has two layers.

The sound. Your natural pitch, pace, warmth and volume. The way you sound with a close friend at the kitchen table.
The words. What you choose to say, the language you use, the stories you tell, the humour that slips out when you relax.

When both layers line up, people trust you. They may never be able to say why. They just feel that what you say and how you say it match, and their own bodies settle.

Stephen Porges, who developed polyvagal theory, describes the melody of the voice, its warmth and rhythm, as one of the main ways our nervous systems read whether we’re safe. Your room is listening to your tone long before it takes in your instructions.

Which of these sounds like you?

Most of us have a go-to teaching voice, and which one shows up depends on the room, the people in it and how we’re feeling that day. See if you recognise yourself.

The borrowed voice. You sound like your teacher, or like “a yoga teacher” in general. Same cadence, same phrases, same sing-song. Start with writing your own cues.
The pushed voice. Loud, bright, lots of energy, a little bit performing. You’re working hard to hold the room up. Start with finding your home note.
The rushed voice. Fast, filling every gap, worried that silence means you’ve lost them. Start with letting silence do some work.
The disappearing voice. Quiet, thin, trailing off at the ends of sentences, hoping nobody notices you. Start with finding your home note.
The pleasing voice. Soft, sweet, a little higher, every instruction ending like a question. “Maybe if you’d like you could just…?” Start with landing your sentences.

Each of these is your system doing its best to keep you safe in front of people. The pushed voice is holding ground. The rushed voice wants to get through it. The disappearing voice is going still until it passes. The pleasing voice is keeping everyone happy so you stay connected. They all make sense, and none of them need to be fought.

Why your teaching voice drifts from your real voice

Gabor Maté talks about two needs we’re born with: attachment, being connected and accepted, and authenticity, being true to ourselves. When the two collide, especially when we’re young, we choose attachment every time. We learn to sound the way that keeps us loved.

Leading a room brings all of that right back up. Being seen by a group, being responsible for their experience, maybe being paid by them: of course your body reaches for the voice that has kept you accepted before.

And it doesn’t fully go away with experience. I’ve practiced for years, and my voice still tightens in certain moments, like when I need to name a boundary. What changes is that you notice it sooner, and you know how to come back.

When students expect you to be enlightened

If you teach yoga, meditation, sound or any of the spiritual arts, there’s an extra layer. Students can project an image onto you of how you “should” be: enlightened, calm all the time, perfect in your habits and your choices. It’s so easy to start teaching from that image, and your voice gets careful and polished to match it.

The truth is, you’re human, and so am I. The most trustworthy thing you can do is let your voice be honest about that: what you’re still learning, what you find hard, what you don’t know yet. That honesty gives your students permission to be human too.

Seven practices to find your authentic teaching voice

1. Notice which voice shows up, and when

After your next class or session, take two minutes and jot down: Which voice did I use? When did it change? Who was in the room? Most people find a pattern quickly. Maybe the borrowed voice comes out at the start and your real voice arrives halfway through. Maybe the pleasing voice shows up when someone more experienced is in the room. Awareness comes before change, and this one costs you nothing.

2. Find your home note

Use the 90-second practice above before every class for a week. Hum, find the note that feels easy and buzzy, then speak your opening line from there. Your home note is usually a little lower than the voice you’ve been teaching in. When you speak from it, your breath gets longer and your body tells the room it’s okay to relax.

3. Let silence do some work

Give one instruction. Then stop talking for one full breath. It’ll feel like forever the first few times. For your students it feels like space to actually do what you asked. Pauses also give your own nervous system a moment to catch up, and that’s often when your real voice slips back in.

4. Write your own cues

Pick three cues you say in every class that you inherited from someone else. Write each one down, then rewrite it the way you’d say it to a friend you were helping in your living room. Read both versions out loud. Keep the one that sounds like you, even if it’s less poetic. Especially if it’s less poetic.

5. Land your sentences

Notice whether your instructions end going up, like a question, or settling down. Invitations can still be clear and kind. “Close your eyes, or soften your gaze.” “Take your time here.” Let the end of the sentence come down to rest. You’ll feel more grounded saying it, and the people listening will feel held.

6. Let more of you into the room

Your authentic voice includes your humour, your stories, your quirks and the things you love. If you sing, sing. If you’re funny, let yourself be funny. If something moved you this week, share one line of it. Keep the focus on your students, and let them meet a real person at the front of the room. Record one class and listen back once, kindly, the way you’d listen to a student. Notice the moments you sound most like you.

7. Practice in safe rooms first

Your voice grows where it feels safe. Practice new things with a peer, in a small circle, or with a group that already loves you before you take them to a big workshop. Singing together is one of the fastest ways I know to build this, because when a whole room makes sound, nobody is performing alone and your voice gets to stretch without pressure.

Your voice is how you hold the room

When you lead, people borrow your regulation. If your voice is steady and warm, their bodies take the cue and soften. If your voice is rushed or pushed, they feel that too, even when your words are perfect. That’s why I teach voice to space holders as a leadership skill, right alongside sequencing and philosophy.

It’s a practice you grow into one class at a time. If I can find my voice again after losing it, then so can you.

I’d love to hear which of the five voices you recognised. Send me a message on Instagram @francielaflow and tell me.

where do you sing now? 🎶

by Francie | Aug 14, 2026 | XOXO

Dear Reader,

I want to ask you something. When was the last time you sang with other people?

Not in the car, not in the shower… in a room, with other voices around yours, where nobody was recording it and nobody was scoring it and you got to just make sound and mean it.

For a lot of you it was in one of my courses, or a workshop, or a circle somewhere along the way. And then it ended, life came back in, and your voice got quiet again.

That’s the whole reason I built the HeartSongs Circle.

I have been holding circles for years, online and in person, and the same thing always happened. We would have a beautiful hour together, and then everyone would scatter until the next one came round.

So I gave it a home. One live circle a month, and a whole month of small ways to keep singing in between. You don’t graduate from this one, and you don’t have to wait for me to announce the next thing. You just keep going.

The first circle in this new form is Wednesday 19 August.
5pm Bali · 10am UK · 11am Europe · 7pm Sydney

The HeartSongs Songbook held open in two hands beside a cup of tea and candlelight

Here’s what’s inside:

The live circle, once a month. Sixty minutes on Zoom, with me. We land, we warm the voice, we sing together.
The replay of every circle, in the WhatsApp group, yours to keep. So a time zone or a hard week never costs you the month.
A HeartSong of the month, taught live. One song from my songbook each month, so the songbook becomes a practice instead of a download.
The Vocal Flow Circle on WhatsApp. It runs on voice notes, so being in it is the practice.
The Monday Tune-In, every week. One small prompt, you send a voice note, I send you one back, and we all get to be heard. Ten seconds of humming counts.
The HeartSongs Songbook & Vocal Activation Guide, 160+ mantras and medicine songs, yours to keep.
The Circle rate on 1:1 work with me, $150 for a Resonance Session instead of $197, for as long as you’re in.

$33 a month, and you can cancel any time. No awkward email, no chasing, just a button.

The songbook on its own is $33, so your first month is really just the book. Everything else comes along with it.

Come sing with us

If you’ve been meaning to sing more and it keeps not happening, this is the smallest possible way to make it happen. Your voice needs a room, and people, and a reason to show up on a Wednesday.

I’d love to hear you in there.

With love and song,

Francie

P.S. The Vocal Flow Facilitator Training is 23 to 27 November, here in Bali. Five days, fifty hours, and the $600 Super Early Bird closes on 1 September. If leading this work is somewhere in you, that’s the moment to move. Have a look here, then hit reply and tell me what’s holding you back. I really want to know.

The Vocal Flow Method: A Path to Your Embodied, Empowered Voice

The Vocal Flow Method: A Path to Your Embodied, Empowered Voice

Francie La Flow reaching toward the light through palm leaves, embodied and free

There is a moment, just before you speak or sing, where everything is decided.

In that split second, your body chooses: flow or hold. Openness or armour. The full, resonant truth of you, or the edited, careful version that feels safer to share.

Most of us live in the edited version. We speak in a voice that is quieter, flatter and more contained than the one we were born with. We hold back in meetings, soften our opinions online, mouth the words at gatherings instead of singing them. And somewhere underneath, there is a quiet ache. A knowing that there is more of us waiting to come through.

The Vocal Flow Method is my answer to that ache. It is a unique methodology for embodied and empowered expression, drawn from over 15 years of guiding voices in circles, retreats and trainings around the world. And it begins with one simple, radical idea: your voice was never broken. It was protected.

Voice, Sound Healing and BhaktiVocal activation, mantra, kirtan, harmony and sound bath.
Somatic Integration and Compassionate InquiryNervous system work, and trauma aware inquiry trained with Dr Gabor Maté.
Yoga and Embodied PracticeAsana, pranayama, meditation and the philosophy underneath.
Flow Psychology and ExpressionFlow states, and the Vocal Flow Codes for leading with the voice.

The four disciplines the Vocal Flow Method is built from.

Why the Voice Holds Back

Your voice is one of the most vulnerable parts of you. It is breath, body and emotion made audible. So when life teaches us that being fully heard is risky, the body responds intelligently. The throat tightens. The breath shortens. The volume drops.

This is a nervous system response, and it deserves compassion rather than criticism. Somewhere along the way, many of us absorbed what I call the worthiness wound: the belief that our natural sound, our unpolished truth, is somehow too much or too little. So we learned to edit. To perform. To hold.

The trouble is that what we hold, stagnates. In yogic and healing traditions alike, blocked energy is where dis-ease begins. A held voice costs us more than songs. It costs us aliveness.

If you want to go deeper into the science of this, I’ve written more about it here: Trauma and the Voice: How the Nervous System Speaks Through the Throat.

What Flow Actually Means

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who pioneered the research on flow states, described flow as the experience of being so absorbed in what you are doing that the inner critic goes quiet and self-consciousness dissolves. Athletes call it the zone. Musicians call it the pocket. Mystics call it oneness.

In vocal flow, we drop out of the thinking, evaluating mind and merge with the moment itself. The voice moves because it wants to. Sound arises, improvisation happens, and there is a feeling of being sung rather than singing.

This is the heart of the method: experiencing rather than evaluating. When we sing or speak from flow, we release judging, criticising and comparing. We simply meet the sound as it is. And in that meeting, something ancient in us exhales.

The Vocal Flow Method: Three Interwoven Paths

The Vocal Flow Method works at the intersection of psychotherapeutic technique, contemplative practice and pure, embodied joy. Here is how the three paths weave together.

1. Compassionate Inquiry and Somatic Trauma Resolution

Drawing on Dr Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry approach, we gently explore what is beneath the block. Rather than pushing through tension or forcing a bigger sound, we get curious. What is this tightness protecting? When did the voice first learn to hide?

This somatic, trauma-informed foundation is what makes the method safe for real transformation. We work with the body’s pace, honouring the wisdom of every hold before inviting it to soften. This is how we heal the worthiness wound at its root, rather than papering over it with technique.

2. The Path of Practice

From my background in yoga philosophy comes a simple truth: insight alone changes very little. To wire new circuits in the brain and the body, we practice. Progress lives in repetition.

Just as a daily asana practice slowly reshapes the body, a daily vocal practice slowly reshapes your relationship with expression. Small, consistent moments of free sounding, humming, toning and singing teach your nervous system that it is safe to be heard. Over time, the edited self loosens its grip and the natural voice returns.

3. Joy Cultivation, Mantra and Kirtan

The third path is deliberate joy. Mantra and kirtan are ancient sound practices, both individual and communal, that focus, tame and orient the mind toward positive, uplifting vibration. When we sing sacred sound together in a circle, something happens that solitary practice can rarely touch: we remember that our voices belong together.

Joy is a practice too. It is trainable. And a voice steeped in joy sounds different: warmer, freer, more alive.

Who the Vocal Flow Method Is For

This work is for you if you long for a clearer, more embodied and empowered voice. That might look like:

Professionals and leaders who want to speak with grounded confidence in meetings, presentations and high-stakes conversations
Teachers, facilitators and healers ready to share their voice in classes, circles and healing spaces
Creatives and heart-led entrepreneurs who feel the block most keenly on camera, on social media and online
Singers and secret singers reclaiming the pure pleasure of song after years of silence or self-judgement
Anyone seeking personal guidance and support to gently unblock whatever is holding back their true expression

The Side Effects of Vocal Flow

Yes, the voice itself changes. People consistently describe their voice becoming more grounded, natural, expressive and beautiful in tone. The sound deepens and warms as the body relaxes around it.

And yet the voice is almost the smallest part of it. The deeper shifts arrive in how you live: speaking your truth with ease, taking up your rightful space, feeling at home in your body, creating and sharing without the exhausting inner editor. Your voice becomes a doorway, and what you walk through into is your own life, fully expressed.

Reclaiming Your Birthright

Here is what I believe with my whole heart: singing and free expression are your birthright. Every culture on Earth has sung. Around every fire, in every field, at every threshold of birth, grief and celebration, human voices have risen together. Somewhere along the way, many of us were told that singing belongs only to the talented. That was a lie.

The goal of vocal flow is beautifully simple: to find the joy in reclaiming that birthright, and to practice living in a natural, unedited, fully expressed way. Out of the mind, into the moment, in love with the sound of your own aliveness.

Your voice is waiting. It has been waiting your whole life. And it will meet you the moment you decide to meet it.

Why You Can’t Think Your Way to Authentic Expression (And What Actually Works)

by Francie | Jul 2, 2026 | Health, Wellness & Lifestyle, Love & Inspirations, Top 3

← Back to Pureflow Embodiment · Voice & Body

Why You Can’t Think Your Way to Authentic Expression (And What Actually Works)

I see it happen constantly in sessions. Someone arrives wanting to speak more freely, to stop holding back, to finally say the thing they’ve been unable to say. They’ve read the books. They’ve done the journalling. They understand, intellectually, why they silence themselves.

And yet, when they open their mouth, something still closes.

This is one of the most important things I’ve learned after 15 years of working with voice and the body: you cannot think your way into authentic expression.

Understanding the pattern doesn’t dissolve it. Knowing why you hold back doesn’t free you. The insight lives in your head. The block lives in your body.

The body is not a metaphor

When we talk about voice, we often speak in metaphors. “Finding your voice.” “Speaking your truth.” These are beautiful phrases, but they can mislead us into thinking that authentic expression is primarily a mental or emotional process.

It isn’t.

Your voice lives in your nervous system. It lives in the muscles of your throat, the expansion of your ribcage, the way your diaphragm meets your breath. When you were silenced — as a child, in a relationship, in a room where you learned it wasn’t safe to take up space — your body learned that lesson too.

The body doesn’t forget. It stores those lessons as patterns: a tightening in the chest, a throat that closes before the words come, breath that goes shallow when you need it most.

These aren’t psychological problems. They’re somatic ones. And somatic problems need somatic solutions.

What the mind can and can’t do

Don’t get me wrong. The mind matters. Insight, intention, and understanding all play a role. But they’re the beginning of the journey, not the destination.

You can spend years understanding why you don’t feel safe to speak. That understanding is valuable. But unless you also work with the body — with breath, with sound, with movement — the pattern often stays intact.

I go deeper into the body side of this, including the four ways a voice protects itself, in Trauma and the Voice: Why Your Voice Shuts Down.

This is why so many people who have done significant inner work still feel held back in their expression. They’ve done the mind work. They haven’t yet done the body work.

The somatic path through

What does body-based voice work actually look like?

It starts with breath. Not controlled breathing, but felt breathing — learning to notice where your breath moves freely and where it gets stuck. The breath is the foundation of the voice. You cannot have an open, free voice when your breath is held.

From there, we move into sound. Not performance — just sound. Humming. Toning. Finding vibration in the chest, the throat, the skull. These vibrations literally massage the nervous system. They activate the vagus nerve, shifting the body from a state of protection into a state of safety.

And from safety, expression becomes possible.

This is the sequence: safety in the body, breath opens, sound opens, expression flows.

No amount of thinking can shortcut this sequence. But ten minutes of conscious voice and body work can shift it profoundly.

What this means for you

If you’ve been trying to think your way to more authentic expression — through journalling, through reading, through analysis — I want you to know: you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just doing the first layer.

The next layer is the body.

The next layer is sound.

The next layer is actually making the sound you’ve been afraid to make, in a space that feels safe enough to let it out.

That’s what this work is. Not performance, not technique — just the gentle, patient, deeply effective process of befriending your own voice.

If you’re ready to try it, start right now. Hum. Just for a moment. Feel it in your chest.

That’s where it begins.

Wise in Her Ways, and the women who helped it travel

by Francie | Mar 6, 2026 | XOXO

Hey lovely Reader,

More than ten years ago I was singing on the beach in Koh Phangan with a sister when a song by Lena Moon called Wise in Her Ways found its way to me.

I felt an immediate connection. One of those moments when a song lands in your heart and you know it’s meant to travel.

And somehow, that’s exactly what happened.

Around that time my soul sister Lindsey Wise was pregnant with her third child and invited me to her blessing way. I felt called to come to Bali to share the song with her. When I arrived she took me by the hand and gently insisted that I record it.

I’m deeply grateful for the sisters who helped me then, and who continue to help me again and again, to get out of my own way.

Not only so this song could find its path, but in life too.

For me, and for so many of my sisters, learning to step out of our own way is such an important part of the journey.

Over the years I’ve met people from around the world who sing Wise in Her Ways in their women’s circles, share it in yoga classes, or play it in their cafés.

Every time I hear that, it feels like the song continuing its journey.

Somehow it has now reached more than half a million streams across SoundCloud and Spotify, which still amazes me.

It’s such a gift to witness and to be part of.

In honour of International Women’s Day, March 8, I’ve been invited to be part of a collective of sisters supporting one another to rise.

Together we’ve created a playlist celebrating women’s voices and empowerment.

If it resonates with you, please listen, save it, and share it to help these women’s voices rise.

Listen to the Playlist

Saving the playlist helps these songs travel even further between women.

For those of you in Bali, I’ll also be sharing a concert and vocal celebration this Sunday at the Yoga Barn. It would be so lovely to sing together.

Details here:
https://theyogabarn.com/event/wise-in-her-ways/

And if a sister or friend comes to mind who might enjoy this, feel free to pass it along to her.

I’d love to hear from you:

Which song helps your voice open?

With love,

P.S.

My dear friend Laura and I are planning a women’s retreat called Radical Rejuvenation at The Sanctuary in Koh Phangan, Thailand, June 5–8.

A 4-night / 5-day retreat for women who hold so much, and are ready to be held for a change.

A few days of yoga, embodiment, voice, nature, and deep restoration together.

If six women commit within the next two weeks, the retreat will go ahead and the first six women receive $300 off.

Love + Voice + Self Expression 🤍

by Francie | Feb 13, 2026 | XOXO

Sing Your Heart Open begins Tuesday. Join us to stop shrinking and start expressing with steadiness and ease.

Hey lovable Reader 🤍,

I want to reclaim Valentine’s Day as a day for all hearts.

For the ones in love.
For the ones grieving.
For the ones quietly rebuilding.
For the ones who feel alone.
For the ones who learned, somewhere along the way, that it was safer to stay quiet than to be fully seen.

Because the heart is not just romantic.

The heart is the source of your voice.

And when what lives in your heart is allowed to rise through your throat and out into the world, there is balance. A natural flow. A feeling of alignment.

But when it hasn’t felt safe to be heard, something else happens.

We swallow our truth. We shrink our expression. We freeze when attention turns toward us. We second-guess ourselves right after we speak. We sing smaller than we really are.

Over time, that creates shame. Self-doubt. Disconnection.

So today, I want to offer you something simple.

Place one hand on your heart.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
Let it out with an audible sigh.

And softly and slowly repeat:

✨ I am worthy of love.
✨ I am worthy of being heard.
✨ I am worthy of taking up space.

Let your body actually feel those words.

✨ True, authentic expression begins when your body feels safe enough to let your heart move.

And that is exactly what we’ll be practicing inside Sing Your Heart Open, beginning Tuesday.

Over 7 days, in just 5–10 minutes a day, you’ll begin to change how your body responds to being seen.

You’ll practice singing without shame. You’ll start noticing that you don’t freeze as quickly when you speak. You’ll feel more steady sharing what’s actually on your heart, and less likely to spiral into self-doubt afterward.

These are small daily shifts, but they create real nervous system change and a more confident, balanced voice.

If your heart feels ready for that, I would love to welcome you.

✨ It’s time to let your voice rise so your heart can shine.

We begin Tuesday 🤍

JOIN SING YOUR HEART OPEN

From my heart to yours,
Francie ✨

P.S. My Bali community 🤍
Tomorrow I’ll be at The Yoga Barn with Jim Beckwith aka Hanuman Das, for Songs for the Heart — a live singing and sound journey for all hearts. If you’re in town, come join us.

Come sing with us 💛 A 7-day vocal journey begins Feb 17

by Francie | Feb 6, 2026 | XOXO

I’m opening the doors to Sing Your Heart Open, a 7-day online somatic voice journey beginning February 17.Accessible for all levels, with 5–10 minutes a day and lifetime access.

Hey beautiful Reader,

How are you, really?

I’m writing to you from Bali with a very full, open heart. Last week, I facilitated my monthly Awaken Your Voice workshop at The Yoga Barn, and I’m still feeling the resonance of it. I’m always moved by how quickly strangers can become deeply connected through presence, honesty, vulnerability, and voice.

It reminds me why I do this work.
And why community and practice matter so much.

As I come to the completion of my Compassionate Inquiry Somatic Trauma Integration Mentorship with Gabor Mate, I’m feeling reflective, proud, tender, and inspired. This chapter has been a profound deepening for me.

Over 75+ one-to-one sessions, months of learning, of giving and receiving, and a real expansion in my capacity to hold safe, attuned space for meaningful transformation. Wow! Marinading in the milestone…

What’s become even clearer is this:

When the nervous system feels safe, the voice opens.

When we’re not alone, expression flows.

So many of us carry patterns of self silencing, holding back, judging ourselves, or shrinking.

One of the most powerful ways to gently unwind these patterns is to practice being seen and heard together, without pressure, performance, or perfection.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you into something very close to my heart.

Sing Your Heart Open

A 7-Day Online Somatic Voice Journey
Starting February 17, aligned with the New Moon

JOIN SING YOUR HEART OPEN

We’re coming to the close of the Snake year – it’s been a BIG cycle of shedding and letting go – and stepping into the forward moving energy of the Fire Horse. It feels like a potent moment to open the voice, reconnect to our inner fire, and move into expression with more freedom, confidence, and joy.

For seven days, we’ll move gently and joyfully with the voice. We begin together with an opening circle and intention setting so you feel grounded, supported, and clear as you enter the journey.

Each day you’ll receive:

a Vocal Flow Code, one clear focus to support your expression
a song or mantra practice to integrate and explore
a short voice or video message from me
an optional invitation to share or reflect in our private WhatsApp community

All live sessions are recorded. You receive lifetime access to the materials, and all you need is 5 to 10 minutes a day to begin noticing a profound shift in your relationship with your voice.

No experience is needed.
No “good voice” required.
Just curiosity, presence, and permission.

This is a beautiful entry point if you’re feeling called to deepen your relationship with your voice and inner world. It’s perfect for experienced singers who have been on a break, and just as welcoming for those who are completely new and simply curious.

When I’ve run this experience before, the shifts were subtle but powerful. Not because people became better singers, but because they softened. They trusted themselves more. They stopped shrinking. They remembered that their voice can be a source of comfort, regulation, joy, and connection.

One of my students expressed that

“This experience fundamentally changed my relationship with my voice.”
— Ross, USA

Another few shared:

“The songs, the guidance, and the community helped me relax and listen to my voice with more compassion. I stopped trying to control it and started enjoying it.”
— Mardin, Korea

“I learned that I don’t have to be good at singing to enjoy it. Singing became spiritual, nourishing, and freeing.”
— Dania, Israel

To celebrate completing my Compassionate Inquiry Mentorship Program and stepping into the final stage of certification, I wanted to offer something special to the people who are already part of my loveletter world.

As a one time celebration gift, you’re invited to join Sing Your Heart Open for
💛 $47 with the code VOICEFAM
(normally $97)

This is a one time only invitation, offered in the spirit of gratitude, community, and shared voice.

JOIN SING YOUR HEART OPEN

If this feels like a yes, I would truly love to sing with you.
And if now isn’t the moment, trust that your voice unfolds in its own perfect timing.

Big love,
Francie 🎶

P.S. I’m currently in a 30 day visibility challenge on Instagram and have been showing up daily with reflections, videos, and voice led shares. If you feel like supporting, I would love for you to follow along and like @francielaflow

{FREE CLASS} What is it were safe to be Seen & Heard?

by Francie | Jan 21, 2026 | XOXO

It’s time for your most authentic, aligned, and liberated voice ever to shine!

Hey Beautiful Reader 💛

The other day, I shared one of my most vulnerable stories on instagram, with potentially thousands of strangers worldwide witnessing me.

This is a deep edge for me to lean into, and yet the strength, resilience and also the support I’re receiving is so profound and meaningful for me.

I ‘m signaling to my body, mind, heart that it’s safe to be seen and heard, as I am. It’s safe to express myself. I’m training my capacity to hold my center in the face of potential rejection or judgement.

And it feels F-ing empowering!!! Im so grateful and happy that Ive said YES! to myself.

So many of us carry unexpressed sound in our bodies. In the jaw, the throat, the chest. Things we never quite said. Feelings we never fully voiced.

Not because we didn’t have something to share, but because at some point it didn’t feel safe to do so.

Your voice doesn’t need to be fixed or improved, it just needs practice regulating being seen and heard in a safe space.

I got you! If you’re feeling the call, I’m inviting you to a free live online class tomorrow with NewMindStart, called Sound of You: Embodied Voice

It’s a somatic voice session where we’ll breathe, move, soften, and sing together. Join us tomorrow,

Thursday, Jan 22

4:00 PM Bangkok 9:00 AM UTC

Live on Zoom + Replay included

💫JOIN US LIVE!

If you leave feeling a little lighter, a little more connected, and a little more yourself, then the voice has done its work.

With love,

Francie

P.S. I’m 4 days into a 30-day visibility challenge on instagram, please follow my journey @francielaflow and let me know what you think!

P.P.S I created a 7-Day Vocal Activation Challenge to help you Sing your Heart Open. Its starts February 2 – please join.

What if healing didn’t require figuring anything out?

by Francie | Jan 15, 2026 | XOXO

“The work of healing requires a sense of presence, not expertise.” — Francis Weller

Hey Reader,

What if healing didn’t require figuring anything out?

What if the moment you feel the urge to understand, analyze, or fix yourself is simply a signal that you’ve moved into your mind, not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’ve left the present moment.

That impulse to “figure it out” isn’t a failure. It’s just the mind doing what it knows how to do.

When I notice myself caught in that loop, I don’t try to push through or find a better answer. I take it as a cue to pause. To slow down. To come back into my body. To stop asking questions for a moment and simply listen.

Healing doesn’t happen because we finally understand ourselves.

It happens when there’s enough safety to feel what’s already here, without pressure to explain it, justify it, or make sense of it.

If your voice is the place where this shows up most, you might love this guide to why your voice shuts down, with a gentle practice to help it feel safe.

Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is let go of the need to know and stay right where we are. That’s often where something begins to shift on its own.

A gentle inquiry (you can try this now)

If it feels okay, pause for a moment.

Notice what’s happening in your body as you read this. Is there a sensation, a feeling, or a quality of energy that wants your attention?

Without trying to change it or understand it, see if you can simply offer it a little space. What happens when you let it be just as it is?

If this resonates, reach out! This is the kind of space I create in my 1:1 work – slow, compassionate, and grounded in the body.

With Love,

XOXO

by Francie | Nov 28, 2025 | XOXO

“The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.”— Mary Davis

Hello beautiful Reader,

How are you as we come into the final month of 2025? This season can stir up a lot for many of us. For some, it brings inspiration, connection and energy, and for others it brings tenderness, transition, or a longing for more space, clarity or support. Wherever you’re at, you’re welcome here.

If you’re open to a moment of reflection, take a breath with me.
Inhale for 4… exhale for 8…
Repeat a few times and let your system settle.

When you feel ready, gently check in:

✨ What has felt heavy or challenging this year?
✨ What has felt beautiful or nourishing?
✨ What has been asking for your attention?
✨ How do you want to feel in the next chapter?
✨ What are you craving more of… support, clarity, rest, expression, direction, creativity?

If you feel called, hit reply and share. I love hearing where you’re at and what’s alive in your heart.

I’m writing to you from northern Thailand, where I’m giving myself a moment of pause and nourishment. I’m here studying Thai Massage and Medicine with my dear friend and teacher Sebastian Bruno (highly recommended), letting my body unwind and my nervous system remember softening, presence and recalibration. Slow mornings, deep practice, nourishing food, guitar under the trees, mountain air… I feel deeply grateful.

Next week I’m back in Bali guiding a private retreat, which always feels like such an honour and joy. Retreats, both privately curated and group experiences, are my favourite way to support people because they create such meaningful transformation in a short, sacred window of time. I’m excited to be offering more this coming year. In the spirit of this season, I’m excited to share that I’m offering beautiful Black Friday savings for a limited time.

This has been a heart-opening year for me. Honouring where I truly am, instead of pushing through, has become essential, especially as I approach the one-year mark of my mom’s passing. Grief continues to reshape me, softening and slowing me, deepening the way I listen and show up. My Compassionate Inquiry studies and somatic integration practice have supported me through it all, and that embodied wisdom now lives inside every space I offer.

If you’re feeling a pull toward support, clarity, rest, creativity, embodiment, self-expression or transformation, here are some beautiful ways we can work together:

🌼 Retreats

🌴 Private Retreats in Bali

“May I have the courage today to live the life that I would love, to postpone my dream no longer but do at last what I came here for and waste my heart on fear no more” – John O’Donohue

Hey beautiful Reader

How are you feeling today?

New Moons are the perfect time for reflection and new beginnings. 🌑✨

Today, you might like to spend a little time journaling, setting intentions, or simply listening to what your heart is ready to create next.

Here are a few gentle reflection questions to explore:
🌸 Where in your life are you ready to call in more balance?
🎶 What helps you feel most connected to your authentic voice and truth?
💫 What new energy, habit, or creative expression is wanting to emerge this cycle?

Personal Updates

On my end, I’ve been easing back into Bali life, soaking in the magic of the land, laughing at the chaos of the traffic, and remembering how alive this place makes me feel. There’s truly nowhere like it. It feels like such a gift to call this island home and to be sharing my work from here again. 🌺

You don’t “get rid of” trauma — here’s the truth ✨

by Francie | Sep 11, 2025 | XOXO

Healing isn’t about erasing your past.
It’s about learning to walk with it differently — with more awareness, compassion, and choice.

We’re still in the eclipse portal… a powerful time for shedding what no longer serves and stepping into wholeness. A time for dissolving illusions, closing chapters, and remembering that release is part of the rhythm.

Hey beautiful Reader 🌺

How are you? How was that last full moon eclipse for you? Did any emotions bubble up? Any triggers arise?

The eclipse energy is all about endings and new beginnings.

We’re still in this potent portal of transformation that lasts through September, and it feels like things are starting to settle… such a beautiful moment to consciously release what no longer serves and step into a more whole, joyful, radiant version of yourself.

✨ Eclipse Portal Journal & Reflection prompts for you:

What old story, pattern, or weight are you ready to finally lay down?
What new possibility is asking you to welcome it with open arms?
Where is life gently (or not so gently) asking you to soften, expand, or grow?

For me, the full moon felt both powerful and magical – a beautiful ending to a magical season. We gathered in a labyrinth ceremony with the community — offering our devotion, presence, and voices together under the eclipse sky. My heart is so full of gratitude for being able to share these gifts of resonance and ritual here.

As my chapter here in Thailand wraps up, I’m reflecting with so much gratitude. These past six months have been a rich and healing time for me — giving myself space to feel, to grieve my mom’s passing, and to soften into what’s next.

Later this month I’ll be returning to Bali to see if it still resonates as a base. If you’ll be there and want to connect for group classes or private sessions, join my WhatsApp group so you’re woven into the weekly flow of offerings 🌴✨

As I’ve been deepening into my studies with Compassionate Inquiry, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to heal.

The other day, a friend made an off-handed comment about people who are on a “relentless healing journey.” And guess what? … I felt triggered.

It reminded me how easy it is for others to judge or misunderstand this path. I’ve even heard the line:

“If you’re still suffering after all that trauma work, then it’s not really working, is it?”

That one stung. Because the truth is — healing is not a straight line.

Healing, for me, feels like:
✨ Softening into awareness
✨ Pausing where I used to spiral
✨ Meeting myself with compassion instead of shame
✨ Choosing differently than the old pattern

Healing isn’t about getting rid of trauma.

It’s about changing our relationship with it. Walking with it more gently. Letting it shape us into someone more tender, spacious, and whole.

This is why I feel so deeply called to Compassionate Inquiry — the somatic, trauma-informed approach I’m training in with Dr. Gabor Maté.

It invites us to meet the parts of ourselves that still carry hurt, and to finally offer them the safety, compassion, and love they never had before.

This work is for the curious, the courageous, the healing ones — those feeling called to deepen their self-awareness, move through stuckness, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.

It’s especially for you if you’ve already walked through workshops, trainings, or ceremonies — and now feel the call to pause, integrate, and tend to what’s underneath.

For those navigating grief, transition, emotional overwhelm, or simply longing to feel more safe, seen, and connected to their truth.

🌿 This month, I have a few spaces open at my certification rate, and I’d love to invite you into the transformative power of this work:

✨ One Session – a deep dive into what’s alive right now
✨ 5-Session Journey – a supportive container to explore and integrate

Calling the Curious, the Courageous, the Healing Ones
✨ Compassionate Inquiry: Somatic Integration 5-Session Journey ✨

💛 For those ready to break free from repeating patterns, emotional loops, and reactive triggers — and to gently meet the unresolved wounds that keep them stuck.

This journey is for you if you’ve already done the workshops, trainings, or ceremonies — and now feel the call to pause, integrate, and tend to what’s underneath. It’s for those navigating grief, life transitions, or the lingering effects of trauma, as well as anyone longing to feel more safe, seen, and connected to their truth.

Compassionate Inquiry is a trauma-informed, somatic-based process that helps you slow down, notice what’s arising in your body, and uncover the unconscious beliefs driving your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to process, integrate, and move forward with clarity and choice.

Just 8 spaces left at the certification rate. Not sure if this is for you? Book a free 20-minute Resonance Session and we’ll explore what’s possible together.

If you’ve been calling in support — but financial means have been a barrier — please feel welcome to reach out. We can explore what’s possible together.

Love Who You Are — A Healing Invitation 💛

by Francie | Jul 21, 2025 | XOXO

“In the journey of Compassionate Inquiry, we learn to listen not just to the words, but to the wounds, and to heal with the compassion that lies within.”— Dr. Gabor Maté

Hey sweet Reader 💛

There’s a moment in every healing journey where we realize:
We’ve done all the things — therapy, yoga, breathwork, maybe even plant medicine…
And yet something still feels stuck. Off. Unexpressed.

That moment came for me, too.

For the past 20 years, I’ve walked the path of yoga, devotion, and healing — a journey that gifted me powerful tools for self-inquiry, movement, and nervous system regulation.

But when I lost everything during the pandemic — my home, my retreat center of 8+ years, my income, my identity — I spiraled into a grief that no amount of mindfulness or mantra could touch.

Despite years of spiritual practice, I found myself deeply suffering. I felt broken in a way my usual tools couldn’t quite reach.

That’s when I found Compassionate Inquiry — and it changed everything.

This trauma-informed, somatic-based approach (created by Dr. Gabor Maté) offered me something radically different:

✨ Not a method to fix myself… but a way to meet myself
✨ Not through bypassing or performance… but through presence, curiosity, and truth
✨ Not just more healing… but integration — the often-overlooked phase of truly processing and embodying the shifts we’ve already begun

Integration work means digesting what’s already been stirred — through therapy, ceremony, coaching, or creative practice.
It’s where insight becomes embodiment.
Where emotion becomes expression.
Where healing becomes wholeness.

Whether you’ve found me through yoga, retreats, voice work, or sound — this offering is a deeper invitation into the inner landscape.
To gently meet what’s been held.
To understand what’s beneath the patterns.
To feel safe enough to fully be you.

This is why it’s not just a one-off session. It’s a 5-session journey — grounded in trust, consistency, and relational healing.

Because you don’t need another temporary fix.
You deserve to be fully met — with compassion.

🌀 What is Compassionate Inquiry?

A powerful 1:1 process to help you:
✨ Get to the root of your patterns
✨ Reclaim your voice, truth & power
✨ Feel safe to fully be yourself

If you’ve been feeling stuck, lost, or just ready for a softer way to come home to yourself — I would be honoured to walk with you.

🌀 Compassionate Inquiry – 5-Session Healing & Integration Journey

As part of my next phase of study and mentorship with CI, I’m opening 10 spaces at a super special rate to share this work with those who feel called.

This trauma-informed, somatic-based process helps you:
✨ Gently explore the root of your patterns
✨ Reclaim your voice, truth & power
✨ Feel safe to be fully YOU

💛 Your Journey Includes:

✔️ Post-session follow-up check-ins + personalized resources to help you reflect, integrate & go deeper
✔️ Nervous system and somatic support

💛 This work is for you if:

You’re navigating grief, transition, emotional pain, or simply longing to feel more safe, more seen, and more whole — this is for you.

This isn’t about revisiting your past just to dig things up — it’s about gently tracing the roots of your present-day triggers, protective strategies, and emotional blocks… and bringing loving awareness to the parts of you that have long been exiled.

Healing doesn’t have to be hard. It just has to be held.

And more than anything —
💛 You deserve to love who you are, exactly as you are.

Calling the Curious, the Courageous, the Healing Ones
✨ Compassionate Inquiry 5-Session Journey

💛 For those feeling called to deepen their self-awareness, move through stuckness, and reconnect to their inner wisdom.

This is for you if you’ve already done the workshops, trainings, or ceremonies — and now you’re feeling the call to pause, integrate, and tend to what’s underneath. It’s for those navigating grief, transition, emotional overwhelm, or simply longing to feel more safe, seen, and connected to their truth.

Compassionate Inquiry is a trauma-informed, somatic-based process that helps you meet your patterns with presence, access emotional clarity, and reconnect to what’s real within.

I’m celebrating a personal milestone — I’ve officially stepped into the next phase of my Compassionate Inquiry certification with Dr. Gabor Maté. Yihuuu! I love being a student. 🎓💛

To honour this next chapter, I’m opening 10 spaces for a super-special 5-session Compassionate Inquiry Journey package—PLUS, I’ll be offering 1 free session per month as a 🎁 giveback throughout my studentship.

This is a grounded invitation for those of you who are ready to go deeper — gently, honestly, in your own time.

If you’ve been calling in support — but financial means have been a barrier — please feel welcome to reach out. We can explore what’s possible together.

“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” — Kurt Vonnegut

Hey lovely Reader 💛

You are invited to join me tomorrow at 4PM (BKK time) for a free live Vocal Activation Practice Class — a sacred space to reconnect with your voice, your breath, and your inner truth, together in community. 🎶

This is the 4th month in a row that I’ve been offering this free beautiful monthly gathering, and each time it becomes more heartfelt, more healing, and more powerful. There’s something truly special about coming together — not to perform, but to release, express, and simply be.

In this session, we’ll gently open the voice through breath, vibration, and shared song. Some moments will be guided, others co-created — all of it an invitation to soften, feel, and remember what’s alive inside you.

💌 Got a song you’ve been longing to learn?
