Each client comes with a specific area they want to develop or open up to regarding their voice. Access to this expansion creates transformative results in their professional and personal lives. Although clients come to these sessions wanting a shift for professional reasons, the unexpected bonus of a "breakthrough" impacts their personal lives as well. This is due to the fact that we are whole beings and the themes of our lives frequently overlap.
The areas that clients often bring to the table are the desire to: speak with more confidence, release fear of public speaking, strengthen the projection of voice, release conflicts around work, resonate with goals and targets, manage change in vocation or department, release creative inspiration, bring harmony to relationships.
What is the process of the session?
Each session is one hour long. Ideally the client would take 6-8 sessions over a three-month period with assignments in between.
Nikki leads the client from an intuitive space and assesses which sounds are needed to guide the individual moment by moment. The client is then empowered to trust their voice however it sounds and to embrace it as unique and perfect just the way it is.
Confidence is built and the client begins to open up to new realms of discovery with their voice that have previously never been explored.
Nikki is highly skilled at following the natural flow and is spot on with which direction the session should take, be it vocally, physically, and with a particular intention. The client begins to transform their inner obstacles of self-consciousness, fear, embarrassment etc. The access to this newly found self-expression is through a combination of sounds and movements. The session becomes a transformative experience in which hundreds of clients have left with greater energy, release of tension, heightened focus, open heartedness, lightness of being, enthusiasm for the path ahead and inspired into action.
Clients report back stating they have had breakthrough results. These breakthroughs occur through the daily practices assigned to them by Nikki –– which may include certain sounds to resonate each day, practicing taking risks in communication where they previously were withheld; asking for something from their boss they would normally avoid; taking on a daring task. For some, it might be dancing wildly and being caught!
(One businessman took this to such an extent level that he decided to dance wildly in front of a conference of delegates to illustrate the question, 'do you remember when you were young…when did you stop being free?'
These exercises are very specific to the individual and not predictable. They are designed to interrupt the neural pathways of predictable ways of being that people may be stuck in. As clients go deeper into their voice, they experience being more open, more flexible and able to achieve the results they seek during the workday and inevitably at home.
"Nikki Slades "Free the Inner Voice" has helped me to stop a 50 a day smoking habit AND to find romantic love in my life! So if you're serious about changing your life, invest in her 121 sessions today" Marie-Claire Carlyle, Author of How to Become a Money Magnet
"Before Nikki's session I was often embarrassed to say what I needed to say. I had sealed lips, confusion in my mind and a knot in my stomach when I disagreed with someone or wanted to say something that I thought the other person may not like. I would withhold communication and was not happy afterwards. I would bust into anger and verbal aggression at the smallest hint of disagreement. For a while I'd feel proud that I stood for myself. Then be sorry and apologetic that I overreacted.
During the session, Nikki made me feel safe and empowered me to raise my awareness and be with what I feel and transcend it in a playful manner.
A few days after the session, my throat cleared up, my voice strengthened and deepened. I felt calmer, more grounded, clearer and freer when making and communicating my decisions. In addition, I found myself repeatedly being able to better listen to others and be open to hear what others have to say – not be as defensive! Thank you Nikki!" Jan Polack, The Adventurepreneur
"Nikki's work is amazing. I had the privilege of attending a one-on-one session with her, at her space in Belgravia and WOW! Her deep knowledge and long experience combined with heightened intuition allows Nikki to get to the core issues within oneself and to heal at the deepest levels.
Her open, loving and humorous style allowed me to relax and trust in her completely, making the session all the more effective and profound.
I thoroughly recommend Nikki to anyone who's considering improving their life and bringing in positive change.
You'll never be the same!" Sarbdeep Swan, Former Assistant and property Manager for Madonna
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the individual voice session with Nikki but felt drawn by the potential offered in the "free your inner voice" description of her work. It turned out to be a powerful and transformative experience. Nikki's intuitive and sensitive guidance enabled me to release some old patterns and create the space for anchoring more deeply a new mantra for living my truth in the world more freely. Recommended!" Julia McCutchen, Founder & Creative Director of IACCW ( Association of Conscious & Creative Writers at www.iaccw.com )
"I have worked with Nikki for two six month periods. My aim was to develop my presentation skills - to make a connection with my audience, rather than just deliver information. Nikki's approach is slightly unconventional and I often had to trust that the exercises would have the desired effect, but they do and it certainly works. The difference in me, compared with when I started, is marked and I can now see how we got there..
I highly recommend Nikki; it's not easy to change the way we are, but she steadily allowed me to do just that." Jeremy Bishop, Business Consultant At John Lewis
