For you An introduction to Somatic Vocal Healing
The method where sound becomes the language of the body — a closer connection to your body, your own sound, and whatever wants to show up underneath.
Somatic Vocal Healing Workshop
Your voice knows more than you think.
A one-hour live workshop in Somatic Vocal Healing — for everything in you that never found a way out.

You can feel that something in you is asking to be heard —
and, at the same time, kept carefully quiet.
Maybe it's an old feeling you've carried a long time. Maybe it's something true you've never said out loud. Maybe it's just the quiet sense that a part of you is waiting — and doesn't know how to begin.
Most of us learned early to be quiet. To stay safe. To belong. To not be too much. Over time that becomes a body that's holding a lot. Tension. A tight throat. The feeling that some part of you never quite arrives.
You're not wrong. Nothing in you is broken. It just hasn't been heard for a long time.
Your voice was never the problem.
It's the way through.
What to expect
One hour —
and a different way in to yourself.
Somatic Vocal Healing is a somatic practice: you use your own voice to feel what's here and give it expression. Singing is its own beautiful art — this is something quieter and more inward. Your voice becomes a way to meet what's alive in you, and the crackle, the waver, the catch in the throat all belong, because they carry information.
In this hour I'll introduce you to the method, gently. You'll sound. You'll feel. You'll notice that your body has been waiting a long time for a language that doesn't come from the head.
What you'll experience
02
For you A somatic warm-up with live piano
So your nervous system can arrive before anything else happens. You settle. Your breath widens. Your listening gets finer.
03
For you Guided toning exercises
A somatic practice for letting stuck emotion move through your voice — not by describing it, but by letting it sound. And a little more trust in speaking your own truth, at home and at work.
04
For you A first tool for everyday life
Something to keep coming back to — when something in you is stuck, when your head is too loud, when the day has closed you up. You can keep practicing it on your own after.
One hour only opens the door. But it's enough to feel that this is real — and to walk away holding a practice you can keep for the rest of your life.
One hour. For about the price of lunch.
Sound as the language of the body. Letting what's been held back finally be heard.
— The sound of the moment
Voices from the practice
What people say about Somatic Vocal Healing.
From Jacob's international community of students and practitioners.
Somatic Vocal Healing is a simple yet natural way to connect with the life within us. I'm grateful for this practice — it's balanced, practical, and so easy to take in.
I'm trained in Nonviolent Communication and the science of voice, and this work enriches my toolkit, letting me support people more deeply and precisely. The voice becomes a bridge to yourself — a direct way to what's alive in the present moment, and sometimes to ancestral patterns. It makes room for clarity, peace, and reconnection to our deeper needs.
In forty years across holistic healing — as a chiropractor, Reiki master, yoga teacher, and coach — I've never met a method that works as quickly, deeply, gently, and effectively as Somatic Vocal Healing.
As a musician I feel far more deeply connected to my own voice, with a new understanding of how to express the truth of who I am. But beware — after this, conversations are never the same. You start tuning your ears to the emotion inside the tone.
It's both a simple and a deeply spiritual practice. By learning to listen to your own sound, you bring the unconscious into the light of the present moment. A safe path to transformation — powerful, and incredibly gentle.
This is a deep immersion into the weave of heart and nervous system. The most beautiful part: there's no need to search for the right words — it's enough to open my mouth. And in the community that forms through the live meetings, I found a deep sense of safety.
Who holds the workshop
Jacob Vermeulen — your companion through the sound.
I help people find their way back to themselves — through their own voice.
I'm a pianist and singer, and the creator of Somatic Vocal Healing. Fifteen-plus years and a few thousand students later, it's become a way of working that's somatic, trauma-informed, and — I hope — honest. In this hour I'll hold a steady, careful space where your own sound can do the work. You don't have to perform. You just have to show up and make a sound.
You can't hold this for someone else until you've let it work on you first.
For practitioners
Masterclass — Somatic Vocal Healing in your practice.
Every so often I run a 90-minute masterclass for practitioners — and people training toward it. It's a more structured, deeper look at how to bring somatic voice work into one-to-one and group settings: how to hold the space, how to read what a sound is telling you, and how to let someone find their own way in without steering it for them.
