Growing up in rural Iowa, I’ve always had a love for the sounds of the heartland. Whether it be mourning doves singing out my window, plops of snow plummeting from branches during the stillness of winter, the nearby babbling creek come spring, or the sound of cicadas lulling me to sleep at night through a cracked window. From the very beginning, sound has always played an important role in my own healing and inner peace.
My love for the power of sound eventually brought me to Los Angeles, California, where I immersed myself in sound healer training led by my mentor and inspiration, Ana Netanel. This experience birthed within me a passion for vibrational medicine, the practice of using ancient sound healing tools to bring the mind, body, and spirit, back to a state of harmony.
