‍   “Keep on Growing”

 

‍     This phrase has been my life motto for as long as I can remember. I am a life-long learner, and I do believe that we can learn and grow from every experience we have on this planet. But the meaning for me runs deep on so many intertwining levels, from “nourishing the soil” for my students and participants by laying a foundation for learning or healing, to celebrating the beauty of our planet, to literal gardening. And the one thread that has always woven everything together for me has been      ~MUSIC~       

 

‍     Since I was a preschooler, singing and dancing and piano playing were constants in my life. I performed on stages, sang in choirs, became a serious pianist, and generally enjoyed everything about music. In my early teen years, I learned somewhere that everything in the universe is vibrational energy, and this really resonated with me (no pun intended!) To my core, I know it to be true, and that’s why I have been so drawn to musical experiences, and sharing music with others. And, being part of a group of people making and sharing music together is something so SO powerful, unlike anything else we experience as humans. Teaching music was a natural fit, and that has given me the opportunity to lead group-music making activities to thousands of people, from babies to adults, for decades. What a privilege! 

‍     Along the way, I have been a student of mind-body wellness practices, especially yoga, and it is in the yoga room that I had some profound experiences with sound healing instruments and sound journeys. And so the calling came for me to “Keep on Growing” and dive deep into the world of sound healing, leading to my life-changing training through the Sound Healing Academy to lead multi-instrument sound baths and sound healing experiences for groups. It is a perfect blend of my life experiences and interests, and I feel I am only at the beginning of this journey. I am experiencing music and sound in a whole new way, and learning to trust the music that flows through me as I am called to share it with others. Come along with me, and experience the transformational power of sound!
