The team, my story, and how this all came to be...
As an educator, writer and researcher,
my goal is to support recognition of sound-based interventions in
health, education, and workplace settings.
Due to the dramatic impact sound meditation had in my own life,
the most important thing for me has become sharing it with you!
I am dedicated to sharing the art and science of sound through seminars and workshops for people of all backgrounds and experiences.
Nobody does it on their own... This is our wonderful team

My sound journey started with health issues...
My journey into meditation and sound-based practices began over 15 years ago with serious health issues. I was mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually unwell and desperately searching for healing...
I discovered sound...
I was doing a lot of Yoga classes but had never tried mantra meditation (repetitive sound/chant) until one of my teachers recommended it ...
I took myself off to yoga studios and temples (of every kind!) to chant wherever and whenever I could. I chanted with Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, prayed with Muslims, Jews, and Christians. I lived in Yoga ashrams around the world...
Health and Science
I got so many benefits from sound practices and became scientifically curious so I did a Psychology degree, an Honours degree, a Masters degree, a PhD and finally post-doctoral research in repetitive sound practices! I now dedicate my time to translating the science into practical wellness programs and clinician training.
