Hanna Elise – Women’s Vocal Empowerment & Song Sharing
Hello! My name is Hanna Elise, and I offer 1:1 in-person, nature-based and online vocal empowerment sessions, as well as group song circles for women! I am also the creator of Song Workshop: Samhradh, Samhradh – a self-paced, online workshop that teaches you how to sing a traditional Gaeilge (Irish-Gaelic) Bealtaine (Beltane) song that is currently available to members of Collective Earth!

1:1 Offerings:
Beginner Voice 1:1 Online or In-Person Session (60 min sessions)
Exchange: Sliding scale $60-80
This offering is for women who feel like a beginner to creating sound and music with their voice. We will focus less on singing and what the voice sounds like, and more on feeling a sense of freedom to express through embodied sound. We will work with the modalities of breath, movement, song, play, and improvisation among others as we discover and rediscover your uniquely beautiful instrument. We may use piano, digital and/or analog drone instruments such as a shruti box, crystal bowls, and other instrument facilitators to support our embodied sound explorations.
Intermediate Voice 1:1 Online or In-Person Session (60 min sessions)
Exchange: Sliding scale $60-80
This offering is for women who have a sense of vocal freedom and want to deepen their understanding of and expression with their voice. Vocal freedom and creative expression is foregrounded, with more attention to vocal anatomy, singing techniques and storytelling. We will explore the voice through movement, play, breath, and improvisation. Some Western music theory may be used in learning to read music notation, explore song-writing, and to support vocal improvisation with other instruments.
Beginner & Intermediate Voice 1:1 Online or In-Person Session (90 min sessions)
Exchange: Sliding scale $80-100
This offering is for women who are interested in a longer Beginner or Intermediate Voice and Embodied Sound Exploration session. A longer session gives us the space to explore deeper layers that may arise in accessing and expressing your authentic voice, and can also provide space for reflection and integration. This may be a good fit for you if you are someone who tends to need time for your nervous system to feel settled when working with a new practitioner.
Beginner & Intermediate 1:1 Voice Packages:
Exchange: $220/4 sessions (60 min sessions)
This offering is for women who feel committed to working together over a longer period of time to deepen in relationship to the voice and to create an embodied sense of vocal freedom and/or to meet certain vocal goals. If you book 4 sessions with me, you receive each session at a reduced rate.
1:1 Beginner & Intermediate Nature-Based In-Person Voice Session (90 min sessions)
Exchange: Sliding scale $80-100
This offering is for women who want to connect with and express their authentic voice while being held in nature. Whether you feel like a beginner at creating sound and music with your voice, or have a sense of vocal freedom and want to deepen your understanding of and expression with your voice, this offering is for you. Working together in nature not only gives us a container where you can express your voice more freely, but also an opportunity to connect with the elements and other sentient beings willing to support and enrich the work that we do together. Being in nature can also provide grounding support when exploring deeper layers that may arise in accessing and expressing your authentic voice.
Group Offerings:
Women’s Song Circles (120 mins)
Exchange: Sliding scale $20 each/session (drop-in rate)
This offering is an invitation to gather and connect with other self-identified women, non-binary, trans, and gender-queer folks in circle, sound and song. We will begin with a short intro circle, and then transition into vocal warm-ups, improv games, embodied vocal exercises, and song sharing. To close, we will co-create and weave our voices together in sound and in song, with some instrumental support in the form of a guitar and/or shruti box.
