Our Philosophy

An introduction to somatic singing and the philosophy behind it.

Our Approach

What began over a decade ago as a simple mantra — “anyone can sing” — has evolved into a multidisciplinary practice bridging psychology, vocal pedagogy, and somatic integration.

Originally trained in choral music education, Christie Dixon sang professionally and taught internationally in San Francisco, Paris, and Zürich. Over time, her work expanded beyond performance and technique into a deeper exploration of how voice, breath, and embodiment support emotional regulation, resilience, and personal sovereignty.

Why Somatic Work?

Many approaches to wellbeing focus primarily on insight and understanding, yet lasting change often requires working directly with the body and nervous system. Stress, burnout, and emotional overload are not only cognitive experiences — they are physiological ones.

Somatic practices engage breath, voice, and sensation to support regulation, presence, and integration in real time. Voice, in particular, offers a direct pathway into expression, coherence, and connection — individually and collectively.

This work creates space for people to reconnect with their bodies, access internal resources, and build resilience that extends beyond the session itself.

Reflections

  • I worked with Christie during a period of intense anxiety and insomnia that was having a huge impact on my life. Christie helped me get my feet back under me with patience, understanding, and tremendous empathy. Her calm demeanor in some of my most difficult moments gave me the confidence to trust her and let go of fears that I was experiencing. She was intuitive about what I needed in a given moment and was knowledgeable about resources to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

  • I can confidently attest to Christie’s ability to meet people where they are on their growth journey, empathize, offer them curated tools and strategies for growth and overcoming obstacles. Christie helped me discover the full range of my ability, and develop familiarization with my strengths and my gaps.  I found particular benefit in exercises with somatic components, of which we tried a few just to see if they helped. It looked eccentric for vocal lessons, but it worked. Looking back, I was finding some self-imposed obstacles caused by lack of confidence and shame. Through practice, exercise and intentionality, Christie gently helped me through, at my pace.

    One of Christie's most striking characteristics is her apparently inexhaustible positive energy. I always walk away from interactions with her feeling more energized.

  • Working with Christie during my psilocybin journey was truly transformative. As a guide, her expertise shone through in her thoughtful preparation and tailored approach to the experience. She provided a safe, supportive environment which allowed me to explore my consciousness with trust and openness. Christie’s ability to listen attentively and provide gentle guidance during the session was invaluable. Her professionalism, deep understanding of psychedelic therapies, and the ability to instil calm during intense moments were remarkable. The insights gained from this session have had a profound impact on me. I would highly recommend Christie to anyone considering a guided psychedelic experience.

  • Christie guided me through my first plant medicine experience and made me feel completely safe and cared for before, during and after. She has a deep intuitiveness toward peoples needs, emotions and journeys. Always seeming to know when I needed support and when to let me have my space, Christie was never far with her calming and comforting presence. I would absolutely recommend her as a guide no matter what your experience level is.

    —Amy, Switzerland

  • Working with Christie was exactly what I needed. She made the process simple. She guided me every step of the way from preparation to integrating what I learned. Her gentle presence during the ceremony made me feel safe and seen. She knew when to give me space and let me experience the medicine, and when I needed support. Afterwards she helped me to understand what I learned further and integrate changes into my daily life. I will come to Christie again when I am ready and I recommend her to anyone looking for this experience.

    —Alyssa, Switzerland

  • The main character on this journey is you - there is no escaping this. Christie, with her deep empathy, listening skills, gentle guidance, intuition and attention makes sure that you are properly prepared and that you have a safe experience in a location that is beautiful, light-filled, spacious and peaceful. With great tact and finesse, she holds space for you to fully immerse in the experience and when and if necessary acts as a harbor of safety to which you can return to during your journey. So if you want to embark on this profound personal experience in a setting conducive to a mindful exploration of the deeper parts of oneself, then I can highly recommend to do it with Christie's guidance.

    —Alex, Switzerland

  • I really loved working with Christie. She has such a kind heart and soul, you immediately feel drawn to her energetic and playful spirit. She always made me feel welcome even if I didn’t feel at ease with myself. She listens very well and reassures you that everything will be okay. I learned a lot from her - especially that everything is there for a reason and that nothing is really bad, it’s just what we assign to it. I definitely recommend her!

Our Vision

At HEAL Wellness Centers, we believe that each person holds an innate capacity for healing, regulation, and self-awareness. Our work is rooted in the understanding that lasting change emerges not through dependency, but through learning to listen to and work with the body’s own intelligence.

We are committed to approaches that integrate embodiment, voice, and psychological insight to support resilience, empowerment, and meaningful connection. Our vision is a culture of wellbeing that is preventative, embodied, and sustainable, where people are supported in reclaiming trust in themselves and their capacity to heal.

Hominibus apprime utile est,
consuetudines jungere,
seseque iis vincullis astringere,
quibus aptius de se omnibus unum efficiant;
et absolute ea agree,
quae firmandis amicitiis inserviunt.
Animi tamen non armis,
sed Amore et Generositate vincuntur.

Above all, it is useful for people
to establish relationships,
to bind themselves by those bonds,
which are most apt to unite them as one;
and without exception,
to do those things which serve to strengthen friendship.
Hearts, therefore, are won not by arms,
but by love and greatness of soul.

– Benedict de Spinoza (1632-1677)
