Reclaiming the Voice Within: How Julia and Maddy Are Using Song to Transform Lives

What if the key to healing was already in your body and it sounded like your own voice?

This question sits at the heart of Julia Williamson and Maddy Monticelli’s work. Together, they lead Sing to Thrive, an Australian-based platform that blends music, sound healing, and practical neuroscience to help people reconnect with themselves. Their approach is not about perfect pitch or polished performance. It is about reclaiming the voice as a tool for emotional release, self-awareness, and everyday healing.

Their story is both deeply personal and widely relatable. Julia grew up in a family that both loved music and struggled with dysfunction. Singing was her escape. It gave her comfort when everything else felt uncertain. But like so many women, Julia internalized limiting beliefs early. She believed she needed to be perfect to be worthy. She learned to stay quiet, to not ask for anything, to keep the peace.
