Discover HeArt Speaking
Free your voice. Honor your potential. Make a difference.
We are dedicated to the study and practice of HeArt Speaking. HeArt Speaking - Creative Speech - raises the spoken word to a new level of consciousness and effectiveness by imbuing words with imagination, movement, sound, and breath.
HeArt Speaking
Our voice conveys our inner truths and intentions…our heart. In speaking, we connect with others allowing us to navigate - and effect change in - our world. Speaking is not only for imparting information, it is for revealing one’s truth and enhancing relationships. Was there ever a time when this was more important than now?
HeArt speaking, Creative Speech, empowers us to express ourselves in a much clearer and deeper way, allowing the listener to really live into the pictures, the movement, the LIFE which our words convey. Providing insight and practical tools to speak with confidence, warmth and purpose, the wisdom – and skills – of HeArt Speaking ensures enlivened communications!
The Art of Speech Collective is meant to ripple out like the waters of a pond - teachers to their students, expressive artists to their audiences, therapist to their patients, and all human beings in their conversations. Let us together spread the power of HeART Speaking into the world as a living model to contrast today’s noisy and unclear world of AI and virtual realities.

The Four Pillars of Creative Speech™
I invite you to explore the four pillars of HeART Speaking, Creative Speech, and how they as a whole create a vessel for communication in the human being, and open possibilities in the listener. Work with each pillar individually, and also weave them together to generate effective, conscious HeART Speaking.
- Imagination -
Open the doorway to the imaginative world and bring sounds, words, and images to life
- Breath -
Capture the life essence of sounds as they flow on the breathstream
- Sound -
Tune into the shapes and forms of vowels and consonants that enliven language
- Movement -
Generate sounds from an inner gesture to an outer gesture, emanating from an experience that becomes expressed
“ I experienced creative speech as building my confidence and feeling prepared to hold space in my interactions. In the classroom, this confidence translates to creating an atmosphere of safety and love where each child feels seen and understood. “
