IT BEGAN IN THE DEPTHS of despair. A client threatening suicide by fire, calling Bernadette in a desperate cry for help in the dark. She responded as she always did, by listening, focused and compassionate, then speaking in a voice softened and made wise by her own former pain. When the call ended, her client had stepped back from that terrible edge.
Voice is how humans connect with each other, how we help to heal our own wounds, and salve the emotional pain of others. Speaking truth with gentleness and comfort has always been one of the most powerful uses of the voice. But even more ancient and primal is the power of the human voice lifted in song, the power to help people feel less alone.
Awakened by that encounter to an urgent need, Bernadette here offers a collection of songs that have proven powerful in her own journey toward wholeness. Sung in her rich, compassionate alto, they carry messages of hope and healing, connection and compassion.

“You brought me from falling, darkness and pain to hope, comfort and rising again. I’ve listened many times and each time it touches me a bit deeper. This CD can bring healing to the soul.”
