Does Releasing Really Work?
Before experiencing any healing work you might wonder, does this really work? Voge and Hugh's clients have experienced relief from illnesses and conditions such as:

the stories below from actual clients of how their lives have
been impacted for the better through the Releasing Process.
Last year I called Voge for a phone session. I had just turned 50, was in the middle of menopause, and spent the previous 2 months bleeding. I went to several doctors and specialists but after all the tests they still couldn't say what was wrong with me.
Even over the phone, 3 thousand miles away, Voge was able to tune into all the energy I had stored in my uterus and female organs all these years, including the damaging ways I had held my role as a woman in this lifetime.
She helped me release the pain I had internalized as a little girl, feeling rejected by my father when he left. The very next day the chronic bleeding stopped! Voge also helped me to connect the dots to how I had re-created that scenario with my father in my adult relationships with men.
Since that phone session 1 year ago, I have been symptom -free and continue to have a smooth menopause!

A few years ago, I signed up
for Voge and Hugh's Money Workshop, hoping for a different approach
to solving my money issues. I owned my owned
business, which was sagging desperately after relocating to a
new county. I was getting by, but wasn't generating enough to
get out from under a debt I had accumulated from a stupid decision
I'd made years before. I also wanted to be able to establish
a more secure financial future. I was in my
mid 40's and had no retirement plan set up.
One of the precepts of Voge
and Hugh's work is that there are core beliefs and poorly concluded
unconscious decisions that have formed the basis
for our present stuckness. As children with limited perspective,
we originally created these concepts and beliefs for the purpose
of survival and acceptance. The beliefs that seemed to serve
us as children, become obstacles to the adult in achieving our
heart's desires.
One of Voge's many gifts is her clairvoyant ability to "see"
these energy blocks and to "receive" the exact words
that her client needs to speak in order to release the emotional
hold of these energies that have determined long-held patterns
of behavior.
One of my accepted family beliefs
that I was able to release was that "we would always have
enough." On the surface, it sounds like a healthy belief.
But hidden within that phrase was a common understanding that
it would somehow be wrong or greedy to have more than
enough. There was also a sense of pride in my family for being
so clever and creative in getting by with less. This pride helped
to solidify my being stuck in this mode of existence. Consequently
letting my imagination roam into the possibility of living in
abundance was a real stretch for me.
During the workshop I was able to feel how my whole being had been conditioned by my family convictions and experiences.Some of the releasing statements I recall Voge had me say were:
- I release all pacts and
agreements I made with my family to get by with less.
- I release the bonds of "just enoughness" that held
us together as a tribe.
- I release all the pain in my heart and feelings of shame that
resulted from my perceptions of being separate and different
because I came from a family that didn't have much.
-I release my ego's prideful attachment to the belief that I'm
a superior person because I can get by with less.
-I release the vows of poverty from past religious lifetimes
that no longer serve me.
-I release all shame and unforgiveness for getting myself into
a financial mess in recent years.
-I release my attachment and affection for the need to struggle
that I inherited from my family.
- I release my inherited fear and trepidation of seeing myself
living in abundance.
With each releasing statement
I felt lighter and lighter. I could feel myself letting go energetically
of the very solid shapes these beliefs had formed in my being
on many levels.Voge then had me visualize myself opening up to
receiving all the Divine abundance available and experiencing
myself as being totally deserving of this. Free of the emotional
entanglements, I could now proceed in a committed,
direct and practical way to solve my financial dilemma. I consolidated
my debt into a low interest loan. I organized a new advertising
strategy to increase business. I imagined an annual income that
was generous but realistic. Almost immediately things began falling
into place. Something internal had shifted in a very real way.
My financial salvation was not just a possibility, it was an
inevitable certainty. I had a renewed, unconflicted energy to
move forward in clarity and conviction.
Next month I will make my final
payment on that old debt. My retirement account is in place and
growing. My business is now stable enough for me to expand into
new areas that feed my soul as well as my
pocketbook.
The Releasing Process is very powerful work. It is spiritually- based and utterly practical. The love, tenderness and skillful guidance that Voge and Hugh exude allowed me to trust in the releasing process and open myself to be healed. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the interest, intention and courage to engage in a process that will lead to a transformation in their life.

When I came to Voge for a private session I was in a panic. I am a breast Cancer survivor and my doctor had found another lump. When Voge had me release what she described as, "lumps of undissolved anger" from my breasts, I immediately felt lighter. Two days later I went back to the doctor and he was amazed when he couldn't find the lump! I was so relieved and grateful to Voge. That was 5 years ago and I remain cancer-free!

Five years ago, I had a complete hysterectomy because of cancer. I was one of the lucky ones, it was caught early. A few months later, I found a lump in my breast and was justifiably concerned. After contacting Voge and letting her in on what was going on in my life, she immediately saw that I was still holding on to childhood sexual abuse issues. I thought I had dealt with them and put them all behind me. However, after doing releasing work with Voge, I realized I had just buried those feelings. Voge helped me uncover and deal with these emotions and most importantly, to release the pain I had buried inside. A few days later when I went for a needle biopsy, the lump had miraculously disappeared.
As the years passed, instead of expressing what I was feeling, I again repressed it. It was not until I joined a 12 step program that old resentments and emotional scars again surfaced. At the same time, a new medical emergency occurred when I was rushed to the ER with what I thought was a heart attack. They found a blockage to my heart in one of my arteries and my doctor wanted to do a catherization; a very invasive procedure. While I was explaining all this medical terminology to Voge, she claimed that the blockage in my heart was not medical but emotional. She also wanted to know why I hadn't asked for her help before putting myself through all these invasive procedures. Since asking for help and facing my fears is not the easiest thing for me to do, I thought listening to the AMA's recommendations was the easiest way out. How wrong I was. Voge again got to the core of my resentments and fears and helped me to release them. My doctor agreed to one last test before proceeding with the catherization. The doctor was amazed to see that there was no blockage.
This is twice now that by asking for Voge's assistance and insight, I have avoided invasive procedures by the AMA. I am a firm believer in Voge's work and now know that we can all expect miracles - we just have to learn to set aside our fears and ask.

It seems like I've let people walk all over me my whole life. During a Releasing Intensive workshop, Voge & Hugh helped me to claim my power for the first time in my life. I learned how to be assertive and forceful without having to throw the person out of my heart. I feel like I've got my life back.

My husband and I had been going to conventional couple-counseling and therapy weekly for two years. It helped us stay together, but we still seemed to get stuck in the same old patterns and couldn't break free of it.
At a friends suggestion, we booked a session with Voge and Hugh. It was a very powerful and insightful 2 hours and they somehow helped us see the destructive dynamic that we got caught in from a higher perspective. We just feel so much more space, respect and love out of that one session. They truly gave us a new way of holding our relationship that lets us move through the conflicts and glitches more efficiently and lovingly.

Many areas of my life have been enriched by doing the releasing work with Voge and Hugh.
I have been a successful business woman, but with very limited emotional life. In fact, I was even proud of my ability to control my emotions and not get involved in situations which caused me to feel things too deeply. I have a large circle of friends, most of whom I kept at a safe distance. I considered my ability to keep that distance as mature and desirable.
As a result of having very little connection to my emotions, and in turn my body, I became very overweight and unhealthy in my adult years. At the same time, I was not happy about the lack of depth in my life experience and didn't understand what was missing.
Working with Voge and Hugh in the releasing process, has been a godsend for me. I learned that I had borrowed my mother's emotional lifestyle of fear and mistrust, protecting myself, as she had, from even experiencing close, intimate relationships.
The releasing helps me to access my emotions in a healthy way, so that I'm not always staying in my head; judgmental and guarded.
As a direct result of this work, my weight has reduced, my diabetes and blood pressure are within normal range, I'm off my medication. How about that?! I'm feeling healthier all the time!
I am so very grateful to Voge and Hugh for their ongoing support for me in my journey.

I came across a workshop notebook dated 1995. I was shocked at the effectiveness this work with Voge and Hugh Smith has been. In this releasing process, issues that had a deep pattern and strong effect on the quality of my life, completed themselves to such an extent that I had a hard time believing that they ever existed. If it were not for the notes there would be little proof! Blessings to you and your work Voge.

For 15 years after my son's death to aids I remained in suspended animation, afraid to reach out for other relationships and this was not made conscious in my psyche until I worked in a releasing group and the paths to how I held myself and my energy were uncovered. Up until that group I was convinced love could not happen to me again due to luck, age andthe lack of "real men with a capacity to commit." I placed all power for what was happening and not happening to me outside my influence; I look back and notice that I watched alot of old movies and was in fact in the process of circling the wagons in preparation for a stark old age.
Currently my feet are on the ground and I am excited about much that is on the horizon and also right in front of my eyes...Sadly my beloved cousin is dying and I am solidly with her to offer her support. This was not possible for me before the releasing process; I was too afraid to go back into the room of loss and I was witholding my support to others as I fumbled to support myself by myself.
I am a practicing psychotherapist and one important factor I was taught long ago is that the therapist must not buy into the client's limited belief system. In truth Voge and Hugh do not buy into limitation; they dwell in the world of possibility and are exquisitely in tune with each other and their client's inner process on many levels. I recommend their releasing process to you without qualification.
