Summary:
Join us for a journey into the myriad aspects of sound and the voice, brought to you by four presenters passionate about and superbly well informed on the topic. We will take you from the experiential to the theory; from dissection to clinical practice. A uniquely curated teaching day that will fascinate and excite you and help you to free your voice; welcome to our first major presentation of 2025!
While Gil Hedley will present solely on the anatomy via dissection, Carol M. Davis, Ana Barretxeguren and Jeremy Ryan Mossman will, between them, weave together a journey through sound and the voice, taking us through: connection, energy, vibration, biotensegrity, how the voice is affected by external and internal factors and emotions, voice evolution, and working hands on with clients, amongst other topics.
The experiential sessions will be led by Ana and Jeremy, working with movement and the voice, freeing the diaphragms and exploring the resonance of the cavities. Whole body sound, and speaking/singing in public are all approached.
An open panel at the end of the day, with all four speakers, will allow you to ask questions and listen to these excellent presenters in discussion.
This day is designed to guide anyone and everyone into the world of the voice, and to inform your own work practice. Welcome to the world of the fascial voice!
Agenda:
PART 1: Sound, vibration, resonance, connection
PART 2: Anatomy through dissection
PART 3: What impacts the voice? The voice as an emergent property.
PART 4: How do we find our voice?
PART 5: Q & A panel with all presenters.

Presenters and Presentations
Gil Hedley, Ph.D.
Gil Hedley has, since 1995, been teaching integral anatomy in the dissection laboratory, via keynotes and speaking tours, and online via his extensive website and subscription portal www.gilhedley.com, and his YouTube channel 'Somonaut'. He is the producer of The Integral Anatomy Series, the Anatomy from A to Z Project, and The Nerve Project, as well as being the author of several books and anatomy models.
Gil is based at the Institute for Anatomical Research on Colorado Springs, CO, where he teaches, films, and serves as Board President. He is currently travelling to 111 cities across North America, delivering his Nerve Tour presentation, documenting an extraordinary journey into the "nerve tree".
Presentation: Touring the Meninges: Images of the Cranial Fascia: In this presentation Gil will share video and images from the lab in order to illustrate the layers of cranial fascia, a.k.a. the cranial meninges.
Carol M. Davis
Carol M. Davis, DPT, EdD, MS, FAPTA is Professor Emerita and immediate past Vice Chair of the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Miami. She is also a clinician in active clinical practice, primarily treating patients with cervical and lumbar spine pain utilizing energy-based manual therapy, myofascial release, along with exercise.
Dr. Davis is an international lecturer and consultant and a respected author in rehabilitation literature. She is the author of Integrative Therapies in Rehabilitation, and Patient-Practitioner Interaction, both published by Slack Books, Inc., and several text book chapters, many focusing on the science of energy medicine and integrative therapies. She has published over 30 articles in peer reviewed journals. Her areas of scholarly interest include the histology and function of fascia and educating students in recognized manual therapy approaches that release fascial restrictions for improved function and quality of physical and emotional life.
Presentation: Carol, Ana and Jeremy will all present on a variety of topics throughout the day, between them weaving an integrated journey into sound and the voice.
Ana Barretxeguren
Ana Barretxeguren is a movement educator and myofascial release practitioner and
the creator of Moving Fascia®, a somatic movement method that has helped
hundreds restore ease and minimise pain through fluid movement.
Moving Fascia® originated as a fascial anatomy course, arising from Ana’s clinical
experience as a movement and manual therapist combined with her work in the
dissection lab. The result was the creation of Moving Fascia®; a relatable approach
that prioritises nervous system regulation and blends somatics with fascia through
movement, embodiment, self-massage and breath practices.
Ana holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Anatomical Sciences from the University of
Edinburgh, has taught embodied anatomy to movement teachers for more than a
decade and lectures on fascia internationally, including at the British Fascia Symposium. Her own personal experience of living with catamenial pneumothorax, a rare condition of repetitive lung collapses, has led her to a continuous commitment to the exploration of fascia, both professionally and personally, focusing on the visceral space and its connections to breath and movement.
Presentation: Ana, Carol and Jeremy will all present on a variety of topics throughout the day, between them weaving an integrated journey into sound and the voice.
Jeremy Ryan Mossman
Jeremy Ryan Mossman is a teacher of voice, movement, and wholistic expression, currently living in Ontario, Canada. He earned a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre Performance from the University of Miami, and a Master of Music in Vocal Pedagogy with a focus on Musical Theatre Voice from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.
Jeremy has recently moved on from academic teaching after 15+ years in order to focus on teaching in more creative and integrative ways while sharing his passion for wholly embodied singing.
Jeremy is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, and is also in training to be a Feldenkrais Practitioner. Knowledgeable in both biomechanics and biotensegrity, Jeremy has a unique way of reconciling long-held beliefs with new understandings about the body and teaching voice, which he teaches to other voice teachers in his program, Body Based Voice Ped.
Jeremy has been a presenter at several conferences and symposia, including The Voice Foundation, the Musical Theatre Educator’s Alliance, and The Estill World Symposium, and has also taught masterclasses and workshops in around the US, Canada, various cities in China, and to people around the world with his online workshops. He also contributed to the British Fascia Symposium in 2022.
Mossman’s pedagogical ideas have been published in The Vocal Athlete Workbook first and second edition (third edition is coming soon), as well as The Singing Teacher’s Cookbook, and you can read various articles he wrote in recent editions of Classical Singer Magazine.
