Vocal Somatics
Liberate your voice through your body and create real impact in your life and the world.
A workshop play series to stop performing and start expressing.
Vocal Somatics helps you access your embodied authentic expression so you can move through the world with a clear, powerful creative voice.
Your voice has been silenced for too long.
You’ve absorbed everyone else’s stories, emotions, and creative agendas while losing touch with your own. Your inner perfectionism, criticism and fear of truly being seen and heard grips and contracts your entire body.
Vulnerability feels unsafe, so you hide your creative truth or dilute it for safety. Your internal stories urge you to not say the real and honest thing, hold the boundary, or create the project or business your soul has been dying to birth into the world.
And this creates a bottling and a stuffing of emotions and energy. Your body begins to hurt, your light stays dim, and you live a life that feels misaligned and stuck in people-pleasing and self-erasure. You feel like an imposter in your own life and never take the creative risks you long for to live up to your fully expressed potential.
You start believing that if expression feels risky, you’re not ready. In reality, you’re perfectly designed to feel deeply and transform that feeling into personal healing and growth—but no one ever taught you how to do it.
Vocal Somatics was never meant to be a performative singing practice — it is a play space for authentic expressive release.
The voice is your instrument of alchemy to transform stuck emotions, beliefs and thoughts that never became words into tones, sounds, moans, groans, screams, and cries that are witnessed and held with acceptance, celebration, and curiosity.
We show up for the messy and unedited versions of us. We track sensation moment to moment, and expand our bodies’ capacities to welcome all that wants to arrive at the door of our becoming.
Imagine living without self-censorship, with authenticity, inner freedom, and creative power.
This work trains you to stay present with everything you feel so you can transform it — not escape it. You’ll learn to begin to track your physical sensations and emotions so you can begin to hear your authentic voice so you can show up differently for your art, conversations, experiences, and work in the world.
What you’ll actually experience…
You stop asking permission to speak truth and begin trusting your creative instincts.
Vulnerability becomes a doorway to authenticity instead of a threat to be avoided.
You build an accepting and loving home inside of yourself so all of you to exist and feel free to express.
You become the creator others seek out for genuine healing, not just aesthetic performance.
You stop diluting your creativity for safety and start offering it as medicine.
The long-term impact…
You build a creative life rooted in sustainable energy, deep purpose, and felt contribution.
You no longer worry whether your creativity “matters” because you can feel how it changes people.
You become someone whose very presence helps regulate spaces, invite truth, and model the power of embodied sensitivity.

Jillian Lacasse, LMT
Healing Poet & Emotion Alchemist
My work came from the necessity of surviving as a highly sensitive soul in systems built to punish feeling, exploit expression, and reward performance over truth. This wasn’t an academic project or a creative indulgence. It was a means of staying alive in my own body and spirit.
From childhood, I absorbed collective pain with nowhere to process it and carried the unspoken wounds of my environment in my nervous system. Where others seemed able to numb themselves, I felt everything. My sensitivity was labelled as weakness, fragility, or self-indulgence, even as it attuned me to truths no one wanted to acknowledge.
Vocal somatics became a survival tool when my voice would vanish or tremble whenever I tried to speak what I wasn’t supposed to say. Emotional alchemy allowed me to navigate the collective pain that threatened to drown me. Relationality practices offered the safety that creative training failed to provide.
Why I do the work I do…
My gift is the survival intelligence to sense what another person’s body needs to unlock their authentic expression, the healer’s capacity to attune to unspoken wounds, and the artist’s commitment to truth over performance.
My work integrates what I learned the hard way: how to regulate a sensitive nervous system, discern my emotions from those you absorb, transform overwhelming feeling into creative medicine, hold my voice steady in uncomfortable truth, and maintain boundaries that protect the sacredness of my art without shutting down my heart.
My mission is to help sensitive creatives recognize their intensity as their greatest contribution. To help them stop managing their overwhelm and begin serving as the medicine makers this world so desperately needs.
I know with bone-deep certainty that when these souls learn to stay embodied with everything they feel, they become artists capable of transforming collective trauma into cultural healing. They light up the darkness from the inside.
They don’t simply adapt to the world — they help heal it.

FAQs
Are these classes in-person or online?
In-person and online will be coming soon!They are currently in person on a monthly basis in Stuart, Florida at Spiritwell Sensory Lounge. Online classes will be offered in the coming months. Please sign up here for notifications and updates on all offerings.
What do I need to bring to these classes?
Please wear comfortable clothes, bring your journal and a pen, water, a yoga mat and your willing heart and voice, even if it trembles.
What are fascial maneuvers?
Fascial maneuvers are movements specifically designed to open up the fascial system in the body. Fascia is an inter web of connective tissue that can be restricted due to physical and emotional traumas. When we unwind the fascia, we tap into the consciousness of the body and its pizoelectric properties to facilitate healing and inner expansion.
What can I expect to feel after these classes?
You can expect to feel tender, sensitive and/or expanded and joyful after these classes and all is welcomed. I suggest using the tools you were given in the class to continue to integrate in the days that follow so you can allow the voice medicine to seep into every area of your life.
Can I bring a friend/partner?
Yes! I find the heartsong exploration to be even more powerful with couples and friends who already have an established connection. Being witnessed in your authenticity by someone you love can be such a healing practice.
