MERYL YECIES
"Since starting my vocal de-armoring journey with Meryl, so much has started opening up for me. My voice feels different. My guitar playing feels different. My communication feels different. My willingness to express authentically feels different. My thoughts and my body feel different. My level of presence feels different. My ability to give and receive love feels different. I feel different. My nervous system feels different"

"Thank you for the session, your teach is healing and calming… Your warm hands still resonate days later. Your de-armoring and healing energy work shakes and wakes up the mind and body to fire up so much positive energy! Amazed.”
-O.P.

"The space Meryl held was deeply nurturing, maternal, loving, and safe. After our session, I felt a beautiful clarity, lightness, and groundedness that has lasted with me for weeks. I didn’t realize until after our session how important this work is for all people, and especially new moms. In a world where we often feel the weight of so much on our shoulders, melting into the loving container of someone else is such a gift and so needed. Thank you Meryl, you truly have a gift and I know that this work will help many others find peace.” -L.D.

About Meryl
​
Meryl Yecies’ painful vocal journey began after being diagnosed with a "vocal cord paresis" five years ago. Unable to sing or speak without pain, she went to countless voice doctors, voice-oriented massage therapists and other healers in search of some relief. When she began working with Marisa, she experienced what felt like an immediate cascade of unlocking and unraveling inside her body and psyche. As she began to sense that this work could create lasting change, her body said yes to this path. Meryl believes this path offers a kind of embodiment that so many other professionals speak about, but aren’t working with in practice. Meryl is emerging from a long and difficult time feeling even more fully expressed than she was before her injury.
Meryl possesses a gift for intuitively noticing where energy is blocked in the body. After completing her year-long training in the Foundations of Vocal De-Armoring and somatic singing pedagogy, she hopes to offer healing work that includes the voice.
She is also a Reiki practitioner and regularly holds women's circles. She ran a crystal business selling gems and was a professional performer in Hawaii for five years.
From Meryl
​
"I want to assist people in accessing their fullest and truest expression, free of force, tension, constriction of their full essence. I want to help people heal their relationship to their own sound. To rehuman through singing and movement - bringing in full permission, authenticity, to free their bodies, breath, voice. To help make speaking and singing easier for people. To help make expression easier for people. To offer a truer path than “do mi mi mi mi mi up a scale and lift your soft palate, followed with a primal scream” that honors the process versus the outcome or goal. To support and honor other people’s path of self-discovering/self-knowing with curiosity. To guide people back to themselves, to the intelligence of their own bodies, and aliveness, so that it is their own uncoverings with me as their witness.To bring more BREATH and ALIVENESS to this WORLD!"
