(Even if the Thought of Public Speaking Makes you RUN for the Hills!)

This program is currently available through 1:1 Coaching.

Live group work restarts mid-2026.

Join the interest list and begin your journey with a confidence booster audio meditation and a deep relaxation recording.

This program offers a space for you to feel seen, heard and celebrated! 

Public speaking and voice programs can tend to focus on either physical voice exercises, body language and performance OR coaching around our inner voice and confidence, the beliefs that keeps us stuck in perfectionism or people-pleasing.

This program is a synergy of both our inner confidence and self-belief and our expression of this through our physical voice and body.
Embody Voice Confidence brings these elements together infusing the physical body and voice with inner confidence and self-trust you can't fake.

This approach REALLY WORKS, you can BE YOURSELF and it FEELS GOOD!

"I respect and appreciate my voice far more now, and have found the courage to no longer be silenced"

Over the 4 week period Nicky’s Embody Voice Confidence course was delivered, I found the program transformative, highly informative and it has resulted in a very heightened improvement in the self belief and confidence I have in my voice.

I experienced Nicky’s approach as holistic as she provides expert guidance through extremely practical voice exercises, wisdom around the importance of grounding oneself and the power of body language as well as many opportunities for reflection including self awareness and challenging your inner voice and perceptions of yourself and others. There are also lots of opportunities for safe practice, coupled with the generous amount of educational videos provided including WhatsApp voice note support.

I am already using the course content, new skills learned and insights gleaned within my workplace and with family and friends and have noticed tangible positive changes. The ongoing voice confidence journey is well underway now and I highly recommend this course.

Introducing...

Embody Voice Confidence

Be guided into a deeper connection with the truth of who you are and  express yourself from a place of trust and self-belief.

Are you ready to stop second-guessing your voice and start expressing yourself with confidence?

Whether you’re speaking on stage, in meetings, or in everyday conversations, your voice is your most powerful tool.

In the Embody Voice Confidence program, you’ll learn how to connect with your true voice and speak with clarity, conviction, and ease.

This program is for you if you want to...

Feel confident enough in your voice to speak on video, stage or in meetings and contribute your ideas, stories, research or vision to the world.

If you are called to speak, teach, present or share your ideas and vision this program will give you the confidence to say yes and stop this fear of speaking being the thing that holds you back. 

It's a skill that takes practice and you can absolutely do this.

Have greater self-awareness and self-belief and feel more connected to what your saying when speaking or presenting, teaching or lecturing.

This program will help you to manage physical nerves, doubt & self-esteem issues that stop you from using your voice and sharing something that is so unique. 

Our voice is a magnificent, powerful instrument and you can use it to create a better life for yourself and others.

Be able to ASK for what you need, pause before people pleasing, be aware of perfectionism and honour your precious time and energy. 

It's hard to hear your own voice with so many other voices and demands on your time and energy and we're trained NOT to ask for support.

This can create resentment, mis-communication and exhaustion. Taking action and practicing this skill will change your life.

"I now feel a depth of grounded confidence when having to speak"

Working with Nicky in her Voice Confidence program was an unexpected journey into the self.

Nicky's life time of knowledge and experience was offered with an open heart.  I now feel a depth of grounded confidence when having to speak in any manner.

I look forward to putting my new found self and tools into action. Thanks so much Nicky

"I've grown more comfortable with my voice."

Nicky has put together a unique offering that is both fun and powerful.  As a University lecturer in the age of Zoom, being confident with my recorded voice is a necessity. 

I was drawn to the course because I hated the sound of my own voice.  Through a combination of Nicky's resources and a supportive group environment, I've grown more comfortable with my voice. 

Nicky went above and beyond to ensure that everybody was supported and got something meaningful from the program.  If you are curious about Embody Voice Confidence program, I encourage you to give it a go!

"Nicky is a highly skilled, intelligent and compassionate voice coach.  Her sessions have been invaluable." 

My expectations were beyond met through the program and I have a greater understanding of the strong connection between presence, clarity of message, empowerment and the voice.

What we'll explore:

  • Exploration of your relationship with presence, truth, power, courage and trust and how each of these relates to you feeling more confident in your voice.

  • Bringing compassionate awareness to the places where your voice may have felt shut down, unheard or underdeveloped.

  • Cultivating joy and physical wellbeing through using your voice.

  • Writing, crafting and presenting a speech, talk, presentation, poem, song, story or idea and sharing if you choose.

  • Finding your own way to speak, teach, tell stories, do presentations or have that conversation you know you need to have.

Voice Messaging:

Private voice messaging support via WhatsApp or Telegram for any questions, reflections or challenges.

One to one connection with Nicky will help to support you more individually and it will help to integrate the group work and content. 

You can ask questions or dive into something deeper that you don't want to bring up in the group.

Final sharing / presentation:

Craft or bring a speech, talk, story, presentation, something that you’d like to work on.  The piece should be around 3-5 mins in length.  

There will be an opportunity on the final call to share a short talk, story, presentation, whatever is relevant for you, either live or via pre-recorded video or audio so that you are witnessed, celebrated and can receive feedback, should you choose this. 

(This is encouraged but optional, no pressure!  You will bring and receive great value by listening and supporting others). 

We’ll be working on different pieces during the program so there will be guidance and an opportunity to practice, workshop pieces and receive feedback before the final call.

"Last week to me felt like a real peak. I felt like I met my voice."

I am loving your course! You hold space so compassionately and inclusively. Your content on voice as we think about it, experience it and feel it has opened up many possibilities for me both in how I experience myself and engage with others.

I find the physical practices both illuminating and enlivening. I find myself humming or saying “aah" aloud when previously I would never to do this. And when I do, I feel more connected to my breath and to myself. Thank you!

I also love the idea of seeing celebration as integration, it's a transition and last week to me felt like a real peak.  I felt like I met my voice. My voice is actually bigger than the bit that's just here, it's through my whole body.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work online – do I need technical skills or special equipment?

You’ll need a computer (or smartphone) and Zoom for video calls + an internet connection that works well enough for video calls. If you’re unsure technically, feel free to contact me and I’ll walk you through it.  

What sort of space do I need to be in during the online session

For the training sessions you will be fine with a desk and laptop in any space you can focus.  For the practice sessions you’ll want to feel comfortable to make sounds, experiment with your voice and move around a little so a cafe or public space might be limiting for you depending on the session content that day. 

What will the sessions involve?

We’ll explore specific vocal, physical and mindset practices around each weekly theme to move us towards greater confidence in our voices.  

We’ll talk about and explore any blocks you might have in using your voice and find the best way to move through these.

If you have a speech or story you’d like to work with we can break this down and work specifically on how to create the right impact and connection with your audience. 

If you have a conversation to be had or a dilemma regarding what to share or not we’ll work through this.

Listening in the group is also a great quality to cultivate when we're working with our voices.

What happens if I can’t make a session?

All sessions will be recorded so If you are unable to make your session you can watch a replay in the members area.  If you have any questions you're welcome to email me them beforehand and I'll respond to them on the call.

Can I ask questions on the Practice Calls?

Yes, there will time at the end for any questions and to go through anything that wasn't clear about the practice or training.

I feel nervous about speaking in front of a group

This is a small supportive group and there's no pressure to speak if you're not feeling ready, of course I hope that by the end of the program you'll feel more than ready, that's why you're here?  It's amazing what can be done in a small group of supportive people, sharing a poem, something you wrote, a story or description of what you dream about can be be very powerful.  I'll be guiding and keeping the circle feeling supportive and encouraging without the pressure to speak on every session.  Sometimes listening is the best gift you can give other participants, we need to be both. One small leap of courage goes along way towards building confidence and that's what we'll be focusing on in this group.

How much time is needed for practice and implementation in-between?

You will need about 2 - 4 extra hours per week including the call time. 

It depends on you, it may take longer for the worksheets or practices or it might look like a short 10 min morning practice, perhaps you’ll be mostly focused on integrating the practices in your regular day to day activities. 

However, a couple of hours to absorb the material and attend or watch the call afterwards would be recommended to get the most from the training. 

If you only have limited time then the worksheets and live calls would be best to focus on completing first.

You will have the recordings of each live call to view anytime in the portal for at least 12 months and the pre-recorded practices and trainings can also be downloaded or viewed in the portal as well.

What if I am working with past trauma, depression or mental health challenges?

Working with our voices can feel very vulnerable and it’s important to me that you feel as safe as possible and are able to work with whatever arises.  I am here to support you and this is a small group so you won't get lost, however, some of this work may trigger deeper emotions.  I would always recommend a professional therapist/psychologist to work alongside if you feel that may be needed.  Please email me and we can discuss whether this program would be something that will benefit you at the moment and if the timing works well or if there are alternative recommendations I can make.

What if I’m just not sure?

Listen in to your body, if there is a feeling of fear/anticipation or excitement/curiosity then this could be for you, if it feels heavy or stressful, then maybe not right now.

If you’re unsure book a free 20 minute session with me here to talk more, if there are no time's available then contact me here and we'll find a time.  This is a commitment of time, energy and resources and we can talk through whether this would be the support you need right now and if I can help you.  If not then I’ll recommend other options where I can.

There is nothing that lifts me more than to see people rise who’ve felt unable to before for various reasons and I absolutely want to make sure we’re a good fit for each other, the development of trust is integral to our work together.

Do you offer a money back guarantee?

Yes, there is a 7 day money back (no questions asked) guarantee from the time of purchase.

If you're not sure whether the program is a good fit for you then please contact me, I'm happy to jump on a short call and talk more about whether this might be a good program for you to do at this time or not. 

If during the program you're unsatisfied in anyway then I'm available to discuss any issues and will do my very best to resolve them as swiftly as possible. 

Are there any scholarships?

Yes there are 2 part-payment scholarships for this round available.  Priority for these spaces will go to BIPOC, Indigenous and Torres strait islander peoples, LGBTQIA+ community and people working in social care and advocacy. Economic disadvantage is also a criteria, you will not be asked to provide proof of anything!  Please contact me and I’ll be happy to talk more.

"It has given me the courage to follow my intuition, courageously speak my truth and better deal with conflict resolution."

I felt excited to be a part of the Embody Voice Confidence program. Nicky created a warm and safe space for you to be yourself without judgement.  I feel that Nicky's voice confidence program has helped me become more grounded.

It has given me the courage to follow my intuition, courageously speak my truth and better deal with conflict resolution.  The topics presence, truth, power and trust are powerful topics that I enjoyed learning about and reflecting on. 

I loved the content and resources. Especially the pre-recorded videos by Nicky. I loved the writing exercises and the opportunity for each person to share their work. I felt a bit sad that the program was coming to an end.

I got so much out of the program. A lot of self-development, especially being a meditation teacher and executing my voice.  Nicky is a wonderful teacher with so much patience and wisdom in this field. I highly recommend Nicky as a voice confidence coach.
