I use antique brass singing bowls, gongs, tuned chimes, and my voice to create intuitive, emergent music to serve the listener in the moment. This is an opportunity to enter a state of deep relaxation of the body and mind. From there, each person’s experience and benefits vary. Most people go into a meditative state, experiencing an inner journey that can open access to insight, buried feelings, or cosmic wonder. One of the most common benefits people report is pain relief. When combined with caring presence and sacred witnessing, a sound journey can enable emotional release in times of stress or grief.
In a session with me, you are invited to get comfortable as we talk about what you would like to focus on. Then the talking stops and the sound begins. I place singing bowls on and around your body, allowing you to feel the vibrations deep inside.
It’s like an internal high-frequency “massage” for your cells! I usually do inspired energy work in conjunction with the sound work. Sometimes I will use other instruments, such as the gongs and chimes, to create soundscapes for different effects. Often I will sing a nurturing phonetic (non-language) song. Everything is adaptable to your needs, intentions, and comfort.
At the end of the session, you have time to rest and integrate. When you’re ready, we go over questions you have about the session.
Gong baths are a little bit different: I am focused on playing the gongs while you journey with the powerful, enigmatic, complex sound. Gong baths last about a half an hour and can be one-on-one, or for small and large groups at your location.
Workshops and private lessons are available to get some hands-on practice using singing bowls for yourself. I also resell singing bowls and can help you pick one out that feels good to you.
I am committed to making my work as inclusive, accessible and sustainable as I can. This work is meant for people with all diversities of natures and situations. Whoever you are or are not. Blissed or heartbroken. We go to the liminal spaces together. I endeavor to help you feel safe and cared for so you can relax and receive. The office is wheelchair accessible and on a bus route. I can do house calls and sessions in nature too.
Sessions are 30-90 minutes for 1-4 people. Workshops are 3-5 hours.
I can perform weddings and memorials, as well as creative ceremonies to celebrate whatever you wish!
