A 2.5-Hour Somatic Sound Retreat with Dr. Michelle Greenwell & Ann-Marie Boudreau

This powerful retreat explores how posture, alignment, and the voice work together to support the body’s natural healing processes. Join vocal sound practitioner Ann-Marie Boudreau and movement/posture specialist Dr. Michelle Greenwell for an afternoon of discovery that will help you understand your body from the inside out.

Through guided movement, breath, and structured vocal resonance, you will learn how sound interacts with spinal alignment, diaphragm mobility, reflex patterns, and the subtle biofield. This retreat highlights how small postural shifts can dramatically change the way sound vibrates through the body—supporting relaxation, nervous system regulation, pain reduction, and emotional clarity.

What You Will Experience

• Explore how posture shapes your voice—and your wellbeing

• Learn gentle alignment strategies that enhance sonic healing

• Discover how vocal tones activate supportive neuromuscular and energetic pathways

• Participate in a posture-informed sound journey for whole-body recalibration

• Engage in partner or small-group resonance explorations

• Receive simple, meaningful home practices to continue your healing

This retreat is a beautiful next step for those who joined us in February, yet it also stands alone as a profound introduction to sound-supported postural healing.
