The upcoming round of the Voice Body Connection Instructor Program begins in August 2024, and fellow Official Voice Body Connection Instructors teach alongside Elissa in the Voice Body Connection community.
Elissa's clients include Broadway stars, television personalities, politicians, and CEOs. She has led trainings for WeWork, Equinox, Microsoft, eBay, Instacart, and Kajabi, and has been featured in Thrive Global, Healthline, SheKnows, and Adweek.

Body-Mind Centering® for the Voice Professional
Elissa Weinzimmer
Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated and embodied approach to movement, the body, and consciousness. This workshop explores two primary pieces of the Body-Mind Centering® approach: developmental movement patterns and the fluid system. Delving into each, we’ll learn tools for re-patterning movement and voice, and exploring ease and flow when sounding.
