Sound
An ancient, proven portal to calm and well-being
I trained with sound healing pioneer Vickie Dodd beginning in 2015. As an instructor at her Sacred Sound retreats, I led workshops, performances, and sounding sessions.
We collaborated on a book, "Your Voice is Medicine: Activate the Evolutionary Art of Sound Healing in Your Own Body."
I offer Sound Baths and simple Vocal Sounding techniques online. Simple ways to reset your nervous system, release emotional residue so you can come back home to your center.

"I drive an hour and half to come for this. I live with chronic pain, and it’s hard to sit in my car that long. But then your voice carries me to another zone, and I’m in bliss."
– Christine, Port Townsend, WA
"As you sang, I knew my situation is about my inner child. How much she needs nurturing! Your heart song gave that to me."

ONLINE: SOUND BATHS BY THE SEA
Join Sounding The Soul on Substack for weekly sound bath videos near the soothing waves of the sea. Resonate with breath, tone, or sounding. (Full paid members (only $6/month) also get monthly in-depth Soul Soundings sessions.)
"When I hear you sing on the shore, it’s a beautiful way to start the morning. Your voice has that quality of parting the mists. I absolutely love this practice. Thank you."
– Linnea Butler, How Healing Happens
Sound Energy Wellness Tools
Your body adores the sound of your own voice.
Of all creative arts and healing modalities, making sound soothes tension and release emotions, quickly. Sounding is not about singing ‘nicely’ for others. Sounding is making sound medicine for our bodies and spirits. The vibrations of your voice alchemize how you feel. Headaches melt, confidence grows, relaxation spreads.
It’s as simple as a sigh, a hum, a tone. Or as soulful as singing your own heartsong. So let’s dive in, together.
