Jeanne James, Communication Strategist, is the founder of The Woman’s Voice Institute™ and creator of the Women, Voice, and Power© seminars. Her mission is to introduce women to new, effective, and embodied experiences of our authentic voices and to teach us how to consistently access and express ourselves with authenticity and authority.

A teacher, wife, and mother, she was propelled by a life crisis in 1990 onto her own search for her “woman’s voice.” What followed was years of intellectually rigorous study and writing that included nine years as a Jungian analysand, five years in Feminist Spirituality at The Immaculate Heart College Center in Los Angeles, and six years of Vocal Awareness training at the Vocal Awareness Institute in Encino, CA.

In 1999 she traveled to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA to study Vocal Awareness™ with its creator, Arthur Samuel Joseph, M.A. Around the dining room table, she shared the story of her journey with the women in her seminar and told them of the deep learning she had acquired along the way. They encouraged and supported her in making this important body of knowledge available to other women.

She now teaches in five subject areas related to women's voice, communication, and development: Vocal Awareness and singing, woman's language, writing, woman's biology and psychology, and Feminisht Spirituality." Her students each have the opportunity to discover their own individual pathways from their outer voices to their interior, hidden, and personal voices in writing, speaking, and singing and outward again to expression with more vibrant, authentic and powerful voices.

Communication Strategist, poet, DreamTender, and member of the Feminist Spirituality community in Los Angeles, Jeanne James speaks to issues of woman’s authentic voice, wisdom, and authority.
