Voices of Healing

Reclaim yourself by reclaiming your voice

Who We Are

an intergenerational online community that uses the power of the voice to open the heart

The nightingale sings in the darkness, making beautiful and sacred the night. Your voice has the power to do the same in your life.

No matter how painful or deeply buried your emotions, your voice can help you access and release them, bridging the light and dark within you and creating a life in which your outer world becomes more aligned with your inner world, opening the door to profound self-love and healing.

Our community is inclusive, trauma-informed and a safe place for:

A Pathway to Wholeness

When the mind has freedom, the body has dignity, and the soul has wisdom, we are integrated. The voice connects all three. Everything in Voices of Healing is designed to bring you back into the balance between light and dark, inner and outer.

Your Guide Through the Excavation

SINGER. MUSIC ARTIST. VOCAL EMPOWERMENT GUIDE.

I’ve spent decades in the music world—two vocal degrees, 25+ years of teaching and performing—and I’ve discovered that the most important thing I can teach isn’t how to sound like someone else. It’s how to sound like yourself. Through breath, sound, chant and song, we meditate with our voices, learning to release what silences us, honor the dignity of our stories, and find freedom in expression. When voices rise together in honesty and compassion, they carry the power to heal, to connect, and to transform lives.

"Mary Jane Knight has a way of opening up authenticity..."

…possibility, and depth through being attuned with one’s voice and connected to self, others, and the ground of all being.

– Jan

"Mary Jane inspires us to use our voices as tools of empowerment."

She guides us toward the realization that through song, we can uplift ourselves and others. Our voices can be a force for change, healing and unity. Mary Jane is an angel on earth who uses her voice to connect us to each other and to our inner souls. She is an inspiration to all who have the honor of being in her presence, leaving a lasting imprint of peace and purpose.

– Amelia Kanellis, President of Riverside Theatre Board, community leader, arts advocate, educator

What to Expect

Emotional Healing

Through community conversation in a private network, guided voice work and sounding in community gatherings, you’ll learn to release what’s been weighing you down and discover that your voice is one of the most powerful tools you’ve got. This isn’t therapy disguised as singing; it’s using sound and breath to literally vibrate the stuck emotions right out of your system.

Stress Relief

If you’ve tried silent meditation before and it didn’t work for you, vocal meditation can be especially helpful. In addition to managing stress, it can be a powerful compliment to traditional therapy for those undergoing PTSD and other types of trauma.

More confidence

When you find your voice, everything else in your life gets louder, bolder, and more authentically you. You’ll discover that confidence isn’t something you fake until you make it; it’s something you uncover when you stop apologizing for taking up space. You’ll learn to trust your instincts, speak your truth, and show up in the world without shrinking yourself to make others comfortable.

A Sense of Belonging

Stop trying to fit into spaces that were never designed for your kind of magic. This community is where you’ll find your people: the ones who get excited about personal growth, who believe in the healing power of music, and who aren’t afraid to do the deep work of becoming who they’re meant to be. You’ll finally have a place where being sensitive, creative, and spiritually curious isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated.
