Playing
with sound is where the juice is for me: singing, leading sound
circles, kirtan and accessing the power of nada yoga, the yoga
of mantra and sound healing. As an accredited Music Therapist,
I have worked with all kinds of people, young and young at heart,
in all kinds of settings from hospitals to corporations. In a
receptive session, I offer a blend of energy work, breathing techniques,
toning, chanting, vibration of singing bowls and acutonic tuning
forks. In more active sessions, clients participate in making
sounds, toning and even poetry/song writing or creating other
pieces of art. During
travels to India I was fortunate to study kirtan with teachers
in Rishikesh, Varanasi and Dharamsala. I learned different forms
and traditions and performed songs and kirtan while traveling
with shaman Herbert Quintineros and sound healer Robert Coulson
and others on the road. I have played and sung across Western
Canada, most recently in Edmonton as part of 'Hearts Afire'
with Isabelle Stahl and now in Vancouver with Lyle Povah. I
have performed kirtan with Wade Morissette and collaborated
with Chinmaya Dunster on my most recent mantra CD project. SOUNDevotion
has just been released!
I am honoured
and humbled to offer the grace of the healing properties of
vibration and resonance. The gifts of music, chanting, singing,
dancing are the bridge to move us to other levels of being.
Music opens our hearts to see and live the changes in this world.
