Natural Singing is a Health Practice with Heather Houston

In this interview, Heather Houston shares how cultivating our natural singing voices bring health in a surprising number of ways!  Heather has been a professional singer for much of her life and only recently learned that she had a tongue-tie. Tongue ties can be so restrictive that they deform normal facial growth, but after decades of having one, she finally saw a natural orthodontist who told her that her singing practice is what preserved her healthy facial architecture!  Heather gives us immediate first steps to take for harnessing this power more skillfully alone and in groups and together we get a better understanding of just how powerful the practice of mindfully cultivating enjoyment of the sound of our own voice can be. Above all else, singing is skillful and relaxed breathing. Heather Houston is a community choir director, recording artist, and women’s vocal empowerment coach who is passionate about uplifting hearts, freeing voices, and building strong, loving communities through the power of singing. She spreads her magic through her 30+years experience writing and producing music, and offering life transforming singing experiences  Heather’s songs are sung by communities across the globe, and weave themes of communion with the natural world, personal and collective healing, prayer, unity and inspiration. You can find her music on her website’s song library, and on all of the streaming platforms. Watch for the arrival of her new album, Shadows & Light, in the Fall of 2024.
