  • “One thing I really loved about this course is what a wonderful sense of community there was. I loved how much everyone supported each other. I was just looking for something to help with my voice - the course offered much more than that.”

  • “This course fascinated me. I am a retired Speech Language Pathologist who loves to sing and has had physical change & challenges over time. The course offers a unique opportunity to address something I had forgotten to tend to -- my confidence in communicating more effectively.”

  • “I had no expectations, so it was 100% new delights. Towards the end, I had a really big release in my voice -- I felt like I released many years of stored tension. It helped me in 9 billion ways. It helps us find our own authenticity. I think it's very empowering.”

  • “I love Scott’s work because it is anatomically based and psychologically astute. It is a psycho-physical approach that demands the student’s full commitment to looking at their habitual body with open eyes. I have seen the results. Change will happen; open body, open voice, open heart. I highly recommend this method of training.”

  • “As we age, we older women tend to 'become invisible' in our interactions with those in the wider world. mVm has the potential to offer an opportunity for older women to retain a bit of personal power as they reclaim their voices and sense of presence.”

  • “I had no idea I would have so much awareness of the lungs in my body and also the vocal mechanisms. And it's been a real joy. It's been a very somatic experience”

    mVm Academy student

  • “I finally achieved helpful tools and practices that I can do and want to do on a daily basis and know that I'll do in the future as a way to be in tune with my body and to have that awareness. And that's really special and important to me.”
