Shaina Noll's crystalline voice is soothing, clear, and lyrical. I want to send her a warm embrace in words for this album! Her album begins with a deeply moving How Could Anyone: "How could anyone ever tell you, you were anything less than beautiful? How could anyone ever tell you, you were less than whole?" This song reaches me deeply, and will be moving for many women survivors of childhood trauma who have, quite possibly, never heard these deeply healing messages as children. Be aware that this music may elicit feelings of grief.

This gem of an album is full with soft and comforting melodies. Return Again is a beautiful, sad song of returning to your soul. There is, too, the incredibly beautiful Celtic song, Deep Peace, which embraces all of nature: "Moon and stars pour their healing light on you..." Oh, I could listen to Deep Peace again and again, and actually I have! This album is a soulful gift.

Shaina Noll's voice is resonant with caring and quiet strength.

I wholeheartedly recommend Shaina Noll's Songs For The Inner Child for gentle help in healing dissociation, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain and physical illness.
