This is not Voice Therapy
And it’s not another thing you have to push through.
The Vocal Attunement Method™ is a 12-week online group program created by Sarah Bustamante, C-IAYT, Trauma-Informed Somatic Voice and Nervous System Practitioner
This program is designed specifically for people with Spasmodic Dysphonia and related functional voice disorders who intuitively know:
“The problem originated from within me — and can be healed from within me.”
Rather than managing symptoms, The Vocal Attunement Method™ focuses on restoring vocal function through nervous system regulation, polyvagal-informed education, experiential neurosensory practices, and safe, socially engaged support.
The goal is not to fix your voice.
It’s to help your nervous system support it again.
The Vocal Attunement Method™ is for you if…
-
You’ve been diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia or a functional voice disorder
-
You sense trauma, chronic stress, or long-term pressure contributed to your voice challenges
-
You’re disillusioned with approaches that manage symptoms but never address root cause
-
You believe healing must involve your entire system, not just your vocal cords
-
You’re ready for a process that is slow, safe, and deeply respectful of your nervous system
Does
this sound familiar?
-
You’re tired of jumping through endless vocal exercises just to maybe have one good day
-
“Relaxation” practices have taken you from blissed-out to burnt-out
-
You’ve ruled out Botox injections or surgery because you believe there must be a less invasive way
-
Avoiding triggers and stressful situations feels unrealistic — and isolating
-
You’ve spent years piecing together your own healing path, but nothing works consistently
-
You’ve quietly convinced yourself your voice doesn’t matter — that it’s easier to swallow your words, shut down, and stay silent
If this resonates, your voice isn’t broken.
Your nervous system has been trying to protect you.
Over 12 weeks, you’ll be guided to:
-
Sequentially release trapped survival energy held in your voice and body
-
Rebuild nervous system capacity so your voice can remain steady while you’re speaking
-
Increase tolerance for sensation, emotion, and expression without overwhelm
-
Restore coordination between breath, body, brain, and voice
-
Develop the internal resources needed to become your own medicine
All without:
-
spotlighting your past before your system is ready
-
opening a “can of worms”
-
retraumatizing yourself
-
making your symptoms worse
-
or doing this alone
What this program helps you do instead
Without this work, many people with SD continue to…
-
Feel high anxiety at the thought of a simple phone call or drive-thru intercom
-
Avoid social situations where projecting their voice feels like too much effort
-
Get comments like “Are you sick?” or “Why do you sound like that?”
-
Rely on texting or email to avoid speaking altogether
-
Feel isolated and disconnected from others
-
Turn down jobs, promotions, or opportunities that require vocal presence
This isn’t a motivation issue.
It’s a nervous system capacity issue — and capacity can be rebuilt.
How The Vocal Attunement Method™ works
Your voice tightens, strains, or cuts out because your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.
This program works by helping your system feel safe enough to stop gripping your voice.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Understand why your voice reacts the way it does
-
Gradually increase your system’s ability to stay regulated during speech
-
Navigate triggers without your voice shutting down
-
Rebuild trust between your body and your voice
Everything is introduced slowly, sequentially, and with choice, so your system stays engaged rather than overwhelmed.
This is a PILOT Program

To keep the container safe, specialized, and effective, participation is by application only. This ensures:
-

As a pilot participant, you’ll receive:
-
A small, intimate group with individualized guidance

A highly responsive container shaped in real time
-
Founding-member pricing and experience
