Giving Back to Our Community

My Dream Came True…

For the longest time, it has been my dream to be able to offer one of my exquisite Sound Alchemy sound baths (complete with over 50 beautiful instruments and at least 2 practitioners) for free to the community. Why? Because working with these sounds every day, I know just how incredible the power of sound is to help shift us into states of relief, deep relaxation, and even, the vibrations of our dreams. It has the ability to give us a glimpse of what it is to embody the feelings that we wish to have more of in our life! But, I also know that wellness classes can get expensive, and not everyone has the accessibility to be able to pay for the beautiful services of practitioners who create classes and experiences to aid one’s mental health journey.

As a practitioner, I value the services I bring because I know they have transformed the lives of my clients. And so, I was beyond grateful to The OM Shoppe & Spa for sponsoring my Sound Alchemy Sound Bath so that I could bring an outdoor version of the experience to Sarasota FREE of charge. We held the experience on a beautiful Sunday afternoon on May 16th. The weather was so perfect, and I got to bring all of my sound therapy treasures, on top of which, The OM Shoppe lent us their beautiful hand pan, chimes, Meinl Gong, Meinl Tibetan Bowls, and other treasures. Over 200 people showed up, and we got to raise $1000 for Streets of Paradise, a local organization on a mission to end homelessness in Sarasota!

And afterwards, the peace that came over all of us… This is why I do what I do — to witness and be in community with all the beautiful smiling, peaceful faces glowing with calm and gratitude. Life can be difficult, confusing, and overwhelming, but we are given these gifts of sound, music, and meditation, to help our minds, bodies, and spirits receive the rest, rejuvenation, and nurturing that can remind us of the fleeting nature of our worries and mental entrapment. And the beautiful thing is that when we can do this together in unity, the feelings of transformation and love can be even more impactful, as we connect with each other and feel the power of each other’s presence.

I am looking forward to whenever my love and I are sponsored again to be able to bring this free gift of sound relief to communities in need. If you would like to sponsor us, please send us a message. This is my passion, this is my dharma, and I am so grateful to see the magic of sound making its way into the world in deeper ways!

The effects of meditation are well-researched, and we know for sure that when we develop a regular practice of meditation, it helps us to achieve greater emotional balance, among so many other benefits for the mind and body. The effects of therapeutic sound make the process even easier. Most of my group sound baths are only $35 a ticket for 2 practitioners! So, I encourage you to check out my schedule for the month, and reserve your seat while you can. May we find more ways to nurture ourselves into peace!
