As I embarked on my personal quest for inner harmony, I encountered a pivotal moment that led me away from the corporate world—a realm that caused me great anxiety and failed to resonate with my true essence. After trying many forms of meditation to remedy my sky-high anxiety, I discovered sound healing in the form of a small Tibetan singing bowl that could fit in the palm of my hand. I became mesmerized by its rich tone and the ability it had to silence the perpetual chatter of my tired mind. Following this awakening, I began to feel increasingly detached from the life I had been living. I knew, deep down, that there was a greater purpose waiting for me beyond the corporate world. Embracing the role of the fool, I made a decision to trust the universe, allowing it to guide me towards my highest passion.
My calling became clear—to provide nourishment and a sense of calm to others. To embark upon this path, I had to confront and accept the experiences I once painted over. As a child, I always stood apart, feeling different from my peers; an imaginative dreamer that wasn't accepted by really anyone. The school environment proved challenging as I faced daily bullying from both teachers and fellow students. Diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, it was only later that I discovered my undiagnosed autism—a common oversight in girls. These collective experiences shaped my perception of the world, instilling within me a deep empathy for those who feel disconnected or out of place.
Furthermore, my heightened sensitivities to sound and light have been both a blessing and a challenge. Rather than allowing these sensitivities to overwhelm me, I have learned to harness them as catalysts for creating serene, peaceful, and nurturing environments for my clients. With great care and attention, I curate soundscapes and design harmonious spaces, ensuring that each experience invites profound relaxation, holistic healing, and personal growth. With heightened sensitivity to your needs, I am able to attune myself to the subtleties of your journey, providing a deeply personalized and compassionate space for your healing and growth. My ability to hyper-focus allows me to offer unwavering attention and dedication, ensuring that you receive the utmost care and support throughout your transformative process.
In our shared exploration, my purpose is to guide you back to the innate wisdom that resides within. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery to unlock your hidden potential and restore harmony to your being.
What sets Ambient Sound Healing apart is the fact that I, as the practitioner, am different. I have embraced my own differences and now approach my work with a passion for helping others discover their beautifully unique and authentic selves. As I walk the path of self-acceptance and understanding, I bring that same spirit of acceptance into the sacred realm of healing. I recognize that each person who seeks solace and restoration is a mosaic of experiences, emotions, and neurodivergent qualities. No two individuals are alike, and that is something to be celebrated, not diminished. Just as you wouldn't look at a magnolia tree and wish it were an oak, you will be accepted for who you are. In this space, you will always be seen and heard.
I bring to this sacred practice a wealth of knowledge and expertise as a Complementary Therapists Accredited Association Sound Healing practitioner and meditation coach. Additionally, I have completed a Usui Ryoho Reiki Master program, a thirteen-month shamanic apprenticeship, and several courses on shamanism, trance-induction, sound healing, psychic development, hypnosis, and more. These tools and experiences enrich my ability to support you fully on your path to well-being.
