How To Heal With Music & Sound With Music Therapist Ruth Humming Ford

In today’s episode I welcome Ruth Humming Ford. Ruth is the founder of Soundhoppers as well as being a sound & music therapist and practitioner. She found that working with the voice and encouraging others to explore their creative sides and overcoming fear around self expression one the most important aspects of her work. Her life is immersed in music and she uses a number of healing modalities in multiple ways. She offers opportunities for people to explore themselves in various ways such as singing groups, dance explorations, shamanic trance and sound journeys. Ruth has many years of experience in group work for all ages and abilities and this has led to a deeper knowledge and trust in the power of vibration, to find the places where we may be stuck and release emotions, past stories and fear. Particularly through her continued work with the voice, Ruth has a way of encouraging even the most shy and reluctant singers to find their own path, to enjoy their own unique tones and share them without the pain and difficulty of old self-judgement patterns. We talk about the mystical, the beautiful and the secret of music and it’s ability to heal us on many levels.
