The Sound Approach I was Looking for 27+ Years Didn’t Exist

Honestly, I developed the Heart of Sound training because it was what I was looking for my whole life, but never found. I studied music since I was 10 and went to India seeking “enlightenment” when I was 19... 

After my father died when I was 29, I realized how short life can be, and I dove back into my deepest love: MANTRA

I spent my 30’s largely in India, studying intensely. I found teachers who held pieces of the Sanskrit, mantra, and nāda yoga puzzle, but no one who embodied the whole-being, embodied mystic approach that made my heart sing. 

I spent over a decad...

If you love a daily personal sound bath, we made this healing mantra song just for you!

I've played it at the world's largest yoga festival to a sold-out class of 300 mantra chanters. It's what earned me the nickname "the crying teacher" in Japan, because people would listen to it and shed their worries and fears in the form of tears. IT'S SUCH AN HONOR to be able to use my voice as an instrument this way!

So, enjoy our all-time best sound healing frequency songs on youtube! I still cry every time I hear it, too. In a good way. 😂

It's a healing mantra song with the ...

Sound Bath with Mantra, Raga and Nada Yoga! Now Online.

A friend of mine attended a live chant event I led last week, and gushed about how it felt like a sound bath to just listen to me singing, the bansuri flute playing, and hear the group singing along with the rāgas and mantras.

Normally, I try to get people to DO THE PRACTICE with us, because I figure it's like food... you get more out of it when you chew it and swallow it yourself vs. watching someone else eat. That's why I have (stubbornly) stuck to empowering people looking to really train in mantra and nada yoga with skills, techniques, and practices.
