Learn
Accessible vocal technique, vocal health and preparation materials.
For organisations, foundations and charities
A safe place for the voice to awaken again.
Your Voice Matters is a 12-week group singing program for organisations supporting women and girls after abuse. It creates gentle, trauma-aware spaces for courage, expression, belonging, hope, fun and joy.
How we work
The person—not what happened to her—remains at the centre.
We work alongside organisations and their existing safeguarding, care and community knowledge. Participants are never defined by abuse. Their dignity, agency, culture and voice are honoured at every step.
Online delivery allows Carolyn to teach across countries while local facilitators provide cultural understanding, language and trusted support within the room.

Your Voice Matters Facilitator Training
Local women. Local language. Local culture.
Facilitator Training prepares women to support the 12-week program within an organisation or community setting. The wider vision is to equip women across different countries and languages to carry singing-based connection and greater mental wellbeing into their own communities.
A distinct pathway: Your Voice Matters Facilitator Training is separate from Voice Up Singing Teacher Training. A woman may choose either pathway; one is not required before the other.
