Frequently asked questions.
What style of Yoga do you teach?
I take inspiration from many sources and styles including hatha, mandala, yin, kundalini and somatics. I share the practice with the intention of helping you quieten the mind, shift the energy in your body and come back to your authentic, creative self.
It's a privilege to share this beautiful practice with you.
What is Somatic Coaching?
Please find a detailed explanation on this page.
What is Sound Healing?
Everything in the universe has a vibrational frequency; it's just that our human ears can only hear so much. The vibrations of sound waves have been used in cultures throughout history to release tension, trauma and negative energy from the body. There's a reason you cry when you hear a sad song, or another makes you want to dance! In a sound healing session, or 'sound bath', we use breath and meditation to come to a relaxed state, and receive the healing vibrations. All you have to do is show up, get cosy and be open to the experience.
What instruments do you use for your Sound Baths?
I use a mixture of clear quartz and Crystal Tones alchemy singing bowls. Quartz is a pure crystal known for amplification and clarity; and so paired with intention is extremely powerful. Crystal Tones Alchemy bowls combine clear quartz with other crystals, metals and elements, which gives each a unique healing quality. The bowls all have different notes and frequencies which can affect parts of the body, and indeed people, in different ways. I also use my singing voice, and may weave in other instruments such as harmonium, tingsha bells, sansula and koshi wind chimes.
Do I need to bring anything to yoga classes/ sound baths/ workshops?
YES. I will always detail what you need to bring with you on the info page of any session, but as a rule, you'll probably need a yoga mat, a water bottle and to wear comfortable clothing! If I'm teaching a session for a studio, sometimes mats are provided. Please check with the studio.
Do you do Bespoke Events/ Group Bookings or Workshops?
If you'd like to explore working with me for a one-off group booking or event, please email eleanor@theholisticvoice.co.uk for a bespoke quote. The more detail you can provide me (dates/ times/ venue/ number of people) the quicker I can be to respond. Prices start at £111 for a 60 minute session and may be dependent on mileage and session content. Thank you!
Do you work with children?
I am highly experienced in working with young people and have limited availability for singing lessons for young people in North Birmingham through my husband's business Walker Harris Music. I can support with Musical Theatre Singing, Graded Exams and Drama School Audition Preparation. Please email via the Walker Harris Music website to enquire as I am unable to respond to these enquiries here.

Can you do a workshop at my Drama School/ Arts Venue?
I'd love to discuss working together! Please note, Sound Healing sessions are not suitable for anyone under 18 and I no longer offer Yoga workshops in primary/ secondary education settings. Please send all enquiries to with as much detail about your request as possible to eleanor@theholisticvoice.co.uk
What’s happened to your SomaSing™ method?
It’s still here, just in a slightly different form. I now use my SomaSing™ method to explore voice within the context of my 1-1 Somatic Coaching work. So, if you’re a Sound Healer or someone who is curious about using their voice for healing, book a connection call and let me know!
I’m having technical difficulties with your website- can you help?
Firstly please make sure your browser is up to date (Google chrome is best) and that you’ve cleared all cookies and cache. Please also ensure that you have a stable internet connection. If the issue continues please send me a screen shot or photo of the issue to eleanor@theholisticvoice.co.uk and I will do my best to help.
Why is some of your work only available to women?
My community Yoga Classes and Sound Baths are totally open to everyone.
I have chosen to keep my 1-1 work for women only. This is due to the unique physical and psychological experiences of women, as well as my training in cyclical somatics.
Can you help me with my mental health?
I am not a therapist. Whilst my work can sometimes be therapeutic in nature, is not a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing mental ill health, it is recommended you speak to a qualified mental health professional before participating in any of my offerings.
