THE SIGNATURE OFFER
The Art of Speech with Debbie
These Courses are for teachers, therapists, parents, and anyone seeking to engage in self-development and enhance their communication skills.
Each year Debbie teaches a new focus related to the Art of Speech. She believes it’s essential to harness the power of your voice and to do it mindfully. We use our voices to share our thoughts, feelings, create connections to those around us and navigate our world daily; it’s not something to be taken lightly.

Sound Informed Movement
March 1 and March 22, 2026
Explore and Deepen your understanding of the power of gesture, sound and spoken word to engage the whole human being-physically, mentally and spiritually.
Experience how the Six Soul Gestures and Sounds shape our inner life and outer expression, offering tools for personal insight, therapeutic practice, and creative transformation.
Learn about Sound Informed Movement (SIM) reveals the living connection between speech and movement. Each sound begins as a movement-gesture within us, echoing the same patterns we use to walk, reach, lift, and breathe. When we speak with intention, these inner gestures illuminate and harmonize the body’s larger movements.
Rooted in both Creative Speech, ATS and contemporary embodiment research, SIM allows sound to guide us into balance and fluidity. Speech becomes a subtle teacher—awakening alignment, strengthening coordination, and restoring a sense of wholeness.
SIM is movement informed by sound, and sound enlivened by the whole human being.
