Everything and everyone in this world is energy, vibrating and moving at various frequencies. This means we, and the world around us, are in a constant state of motion. Our entire body – down to a cellular level – has its own rhythm, an optimal resonant frequency. When optimal and in a healthy state, the body is in harmony, vibrating at its proper resonant frequency. But stress, illness and disease can cause the body to become unbalanced and fall out of harmony, creating blockages, disrupting the proper flow of energy in various areas in and around the body. These blockages ultimately lead to a loss of this optimal resonant frequency.

I use Sound Therapy to introduce pure rich tones to a person's body. These tones, begin to assist in restoring and rejuvenating the body's own resonant frequencies (healthy vibrations), eliminating imbalances and restoring a healthy flow of energy in and around the body. Sound Therapy assist in jump starting the bodies own innate healing to begin healing itself. Sound Therapy can reduce stress responses in the body, inducing a state of overall calm within the body. This is achieved by using acoustic instruments, such as Tibetan singing bowls. The Tibetan bowls aide in bringing the body to deeper states of rest and relaxation. In addition to Tibetan bowls, I layer in the rich sounds of gongs, rattles and drums, rain sticks, ocean drums, koshi chimes, ocarina and hapi drums when I intuitively feel it’s needed to complete the treatment session. I also infuse color therapy and aroma therapy into each session. Both color therapy and aroma therapy are frequency based modalities and are natural compliment to sound therapy. By using these tools in unison, I create an overall sense of well-being for the person which will help assist the body’s innate healing system to activate and begin healing itself.

She is also a painter and works with children in Seattle Public Schools. Her passion for sound began when she attended a Sound Bath at East West Bookshop in the Summer of 2015. She had such a profound and moving experience when a bowl was placed on her heart, that she knew she must explore singing bowls further and find out more about them. She signed up for Level 1 training in the fall of 2015 and went down the rabbit hole of sound so to speak. She continues research and learn new ways to use sound and other holistic modalities as healing tools for the mind, body and spirit.
