About Sophia Edlund, PhD
A voice at the threshold.
Sophia Edlund is an interdisciplinary voice practitioner, researcher, artist and ceremonial guide whose work arises at the confluence of voice, water and myth. She tends the threshold where silence meets sound, body meets spirit, and memory stirs beneath the surface of song.
Her offerings are rooted in decades of study and a lifetime of listening to the vibrational power of voice.
​
She works with artists, educators, consciousness explorers and those at the edge of transformation - people who sense that we are entering a new epoch and that the voice is one of its evolutionary keys.
​
Her work weaves together the seen and the subtle, inviting a remembrance of voice as both a personal gift and a planetary force. Sophia’s work connects to a consciousness when all was song.
A core focus of her work is healing the singing wound: the inherited silencing of the soul’s natural voice. She supports those who feel unheard, uncertain or afraid to sing, guiding them back into relationship with their sound as a source of power, restoration and belonging.
Her offerings are educational, energetic and ceremonial, created for singers, seekers, researchers, water guardians, and those reclaiming the sacred through sound.
Her visual artwork - inspired by sacred geometry, water crystallography and archetypal symbolism - extends her vocal practice into form, offering visual portals that evoke remembrance, resonance and reverence.
Sophia has spent over a decade apprenticing herself to the voice, studying with diverse teachers and exploring the many ways sound lives in and moves through the body. Her vocal lineage and training include extended vocal technique, sound healing and water priestess arts.
​This multidimensional path allows her to meet each voice with nuance and care, whether in ceremony, coaching, or pedagogy.
Based in Sweden and serving a global community, Sophia stewards the Voice Water Temple, an online sanctuary for sonic renewal and vibrational care. In her role as a voice-water priestess, she tends the flow between voice and water, orienting sound as a force of healing: for bodies, for ecosystems and for the planetary field of consciousness.
​
Her work is a devotion, a remembering of what ancient cultures knew:
that sound is a medicine,
that water is listening,
and that the voice is a sacred current
through which transformation flows.
​​
Remembering ourselves in Song brings us back to a frequency of belonging, joy and harmony with life.
Research Lineage and Pedagogy
Sophia’s work as a bridger between worlds is grounded in extensive academic and practice-based research. She holds degrees in English Literature (University of Edinburgh), Text and Performance (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), Performance Science (Royal College of Music), and a doctorate in Interdisciplinary Voice Studies (University of Exeter). Her doctoral research explored vocal enchantment through the myth of the Sirens, with a particular focus on the psychology of singing and the deep interrelationship between voice, body, and environment. She has presented and published internationally on voice studies, vocal enchantment, voice-water consciousness, interspecies communication, and humanimal vocal pedagogy, and has taught and collaborated with educators and institutions across disciplines.
