Sonalune │ About
I'm Becky Sorensen - an American professional opera singer and sound therapy practitioner based in Bordeaux. My work sits at the intersection of music, embodied listening, and a deep exploration of transformation through sound.
What I offer today comes from a very personal journey — one of a body that had to relearn how to feel safe, how to breathe fully, and how to express itself freely.
For years, I lived with chronic anxiety and fatigue. My body was constantly in a state of alert, stuck in survival mode. In my career as a singer, this showed up very concretely: I struggled to take a full breath, to focus, to access expression. My body was convinced I was not safe. I spent years in therapy, which helped me understand where these patterns came from. But that intellectual understanding wasn’t enough. The tension and patterns remained held in the body.
What I needed was to fully experience and express what had been held back — fear, anger, frustration, sadness, but also joy. My body needed to remember, in a tangible way, what it feels like to be safe, and to relearn that a state of calm was possible.
It was through using sound, voice, breath, and movement therapeutically that this shift began. I discovered a more organic way of using the voice — one that was no longer only about performance, but about listening and direct expression through the body. Looking back, I now understand that my path as a singer was already connected to this deep need for expression. But it was only by stepping outside certain frameworks that I was able to access that release and allow my body to let go of what was blocking its balance.
At the same time, it was during my mother’s illness that I began to explore the effects of sound and vibration on the body. Without knowing it, we were doing the same research, reading the same books. After her passing, this discovery took on a deeper meaning and strengthened my commitment to this path.
My training was further shaped by my work with Miky Lagadec, a teacher and mentor trained directly by Dr. John Beaulieu, whom I also had the opportunity to meet. Alongside this, my vocal path is rooted in over 20 years of professional study of voice, breath, and the body, as well as my experience within the Roy Hart tradition. These explorations have deeply shaped my understanding of the voice as a tool for expression, transformation, and regulation.
From these different influences, I have gradually developed my own approach, grounded in embodied listening, expression and direct experience, where voice and sound become pathways toward freer expression and deeper balance.
In my sessions, I do not “heal.” I listen, observe, and work in dialogue with the body. Sound becomes a support that helps your system release tension, regulate itself, and return to a state of balance.
Today, these practices are an integral part of my daily life. They help me regulate my energy, calm my nervous system, and respond to imbalances as they arise.
I now support primarily women in reconnecting with a sense of safety in their bodies, releasing deep tension, and reclaiming a freer, more aligned expression. This work has very real effects on health, relationships, confidence, and the ability to show up fully in one’s life and work.
Over time, I have witnessed profound transformations: lasting reductions in symptoms, the release of chronic pain, faster recovery, as well as greater clarity in expression and renewed confidence in being seen and heard.
A trained ear in service of the body
My background as a professional musician has trained me to listen with a high level of precision, to perceive the most subtle nuances of sound and harmony. This quality of listening, developed over years of practice and performance, is now at the heart of my work.
It allows me to attune to micro-variations in vibration, in the quality of sound, and in the way the body responds to it. This refined listening guides my gestures and supports the body in its own process of regulation and rebalancing.
My musical experience is not only a technical skill—it is a deep sensitivity to the language of the body and its relationship to sound, which I bring into every session.
