LIGHTS! CAMERA! AUCTION!
LIGHTS! CAMERA! AUCTION!
This is an auction that will change the lives of the people in our community.
There’s something magical that happens when we come together as community.
WE create a spark that ignites faith in hard times.
WE protect the fuel that keeps the flame alive.
WE fire up new levels of strength because its breath is love!
But I know not all of you will be able to join us on December 19th for the in person experience at the Planetarium, so I created another way that you can support our efforts to provide sound healing in non profits working in mental health and wellness in the Atlanta community.
Check out our online auction! More will be added as things get confirmed so I will be sure to make an update every time I add something new!
I love this so much because its not only about the fundraising efforts, it is also sharing the products and services of local businesses right here in Atlanta! Support them! Their IG’s are below, so follow them! Tell them WE (you + I) say hi! Let them know you see them. Maybe you will find a gift for a loved one! And please continue to spread the word on this fundraiser and the auction. We have over 100 tickets sold and its because of YOU!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
This day, and everyday, look into gratitude.
This day, and everyday, look into gratitude.
Gratitude is the walking of the talk. We are settling in to the time of year of warm wishes and lots of food. We are reminded of who and what we are grateful for, defining our desires and goals for the future, and slowing down (if for just a moment) to really look into someones eyes. It feels like a warm blanket has been put around us and we are smiling ear to ear with joy for simply being.
Are you in that feeling yet?
Take in this feeling.
Close your eyes.
Really feel it.
Savor it.
Take it with you.
Commit it to memory.
Because as we move through the season and excitement of our New Years resolutions we tend to loose sight of this feeling. We tend to loose sight of the abundance that surrounds us. We tend to forget what we are grateful for. So, take it in. All of it. And if you are not there just yet, look around for it. It's there waiting for you to embrace it.
This day, and everyday, look into gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving <3

“There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”
“There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”
I was asked to be a part of Westside Yoga Atlanta teacher training teaching the foundational principals of sound healing and going over different sound healing instruments. I love sharing this work. It makes me so incredibly happy!
Supporting people in relieving stress, reducing pain, and shifting perspectives so that they may empower themselves to live a life they love! = HAPPY!
But my work isn’t the only thing that makes me happy. Coffee, crystals, family, Satsang, nature, quiet time, kissing, candles, HUGS, puns, travel, colorful pens, baby’s laughter, eating other peoples cooking, beaches, and bowling also make me happy!
When we choose happiness to begin with, it’s easier to align with.

These are the hands of grief evolved.
These are the hands of grief evolved.
Kate’s Club is one of the non profit organizations we will be working with in 2019. “Kate's Club empowers children and teens facing life after the death of a parent or sibling. We build healing communities through recreational and therapeutic group programs, education, and advocacy.”
I went in to meet the program director and chat about what our involvement would like and then had a tour of the place. I have to say... there is so much love there. You can feel it! You walk off the elevator and feel the buzz of excited energy, and the children chatting and laughing.
I don’t mean to paint a picture where grief isn’t expressed. You can feel that energy too. But, the energy of a safe space where you can feel supported, feel love, have the opportunity to be expressed even if you don’t know yet how... you can actually FEEL that at Kate’s club.
I am so honored that they said YES! And that SoundEmbrace has the opportunity to support and co create that scared loving space for these kids to work through their feelings of grief.

Home is more than a place. It’s a feeling.
Home is more than a place. It’s a feeling.
There are many times I come back to this internal conversation around what HOME is. Is it a specific place? Specific people? Does it have a certain look? I have moved so many times in my life that I have found it has nothing to do with the particular place per say, but has everything to do with the FEELING.
Its this feeling of love, safety, belonging, connection, support, feeling expressed, vulnerability, joy, and expansion!
AND F*CK! I FEEEEEEEL that here. I FEEL all of that ATLANTA! Especially with this fundraiser! Holy cow! I mean… THIS! THIS IS what the fundraiser is about! HOME! The problems of the world can feel so big that we can loose sight of the impact we can make in our own backyard. Our own community. OUR OWN HOME!
Look at what we are doing TOGETHER!
Here are ways you can help:
1. Buy a ticket to our EPIC Sound Immersion Experience at the Planetarium.

This little human.
This little human.
I can’t begin to express the amount of love I have for my niece. I remember the first time I held that chunky baby... I was filled with so much joy it was spilling over in tears as she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. She is 9 now. Still likes to cuddle. Likes to draw. I love that she dresses like a kid with My little pony graphic T-shirt’s (although, have YOU SEEN the Ponies lately! NOTHING like when we were kids! When did that change!?! 🤣), and she always has something new to show me like, Pokémon Go, or her latest headstand.
This last visit she made sure to reminded me that we ALL have the capability to turn darkness into love if we just remember we are all human... I asked her where she learned this and she said,”Everyone just knows this. They just forget sometimes. And in Sailor Moon, they use crystals to help do this, too.”
Although, I don’t necessarily see myself having kids, I love these hang outs that remind me that things can be.. and are, a lot simpler than we think. She also gave me another excuse to buy crystals! 💕🤗💕
Thoughts?

“I FEEL IT EVERYWHERE!”

Sound and First Graders!
Sound and First Graders!
This morning I had the opportunity to share with 4 first grade classes about sound and vibration!
They experienced bringing awareness to the difference of where they felt high versus low frequencies in the body and how lower frequencies are often felt lower and the higher frequencies are often felt higher.
We also breathed together so that they could learn how to be present to what they are feeling. I am blown away by their attention and curiosity. Such great questions! Their eyes literally LIT UP when they connected the dots!
The topper for the whole experience was when a teacher asked me if deaf people are affected and what would their experience be like. I shared with her that from my experience, the person was able to hear sound and feel the vibration as color. Next thing I knew she brought in 2 of her deaf students to experience the instruments! The two girls faces lit up with excitement! They both shared that they could hear and feel the sound. Their shock lingered in their faces until they left and I could see that this brought them so much joy!
This is why I do what I do. Beside the therapeutic benefits, this work brings out curiosity, and awareness so that one can empower themself!
I hope to see you at a sound bath soon! I have one tonight in Buckhead and next week in Virginia Highlands! And remember to sign up for the EPIC SOUND BATH happening in December at the Planetarium!

Atlanta + San Francisco!
Atlanta + San Francisco! Ready to make an impact?
Sound Healing Therapy is not going away anytime soon. Its catching on. The instruments are becoming more and more accessible. And the conversation is starting to be taken seriously. And I wouldn't be saying SERIOUSLY if I hadn't been excepted to take HSA + FSA payments! .
This is why I created the Sound Healing 101 class. I know you are ready make a difference, and Sound Healing is on the rise.
The media is talking about it. Hospitals are adopting new frequency technology for treatment. And we are hearing about it more and more within our communities.
With this new found buzz, we are seeing a wave of interest in new practitioners to the field. We are witnessing the growth of Sound Healing in classes, coaching/therapy sessions, and in music production. The danger, is that a lot of them are unaware of how sound affects the body and what they may be doing to their clients.
This class will empower you to create a session that supports your clients on their path to healing as well provide a foundation to speak on this work with confidence.
Let me know if you have any questions. DM me to chat about how you can make an impact in the lives of others by using sound as the tool for transformation, health and wellness. You can sign up for class by clicking on the link in bio and choosing the date of class you want to take:
San Francisco : Dec 8th
Atlanta: Jan 12
Sometimes you are forced to sit.
Sometimes you are forced to sit.
I’m not a fan of sitting. I resist it. How can I move forward or evolve or make the thing happen, or find the love of my life, or build the career, or make an impact if I am just sitting!!!!????
Sitting! What is that!! It would make me so angry. And looking back the last couple of months I can see I was FORCED to SIT! A LOT!
The feeling lost and then feeling on path.
The food poisoning and then feeling healthy.
The loss of work and then the flood gates of abundance.
The loneliness to feeling divinely connected!
Feeling lost... I was forced to take a seat and rethink a new direction. I found a better path.
Food poisoning... I was forced to take a seat and to heal and prepare my body for the journey that awaits.
The loss of work... I was forced to sit so time would open up for new, fulfilling projects.
The loneliness... I was forced to sit so I would know how to love myself. So I would know how to love others. So I would know how to receive love.
Sit.
Listen.
Receive.
It is within the SIT, that things become effortless and we find new life.
Wednesday I am going to sit. Maybe you will want to be a guest with me? Check out Christopher Wood. New Moon Sound Bath. If you can’t make it to his, I have 3 sound baths this month too. Either way, I’d love to hear about your SIT. I have found peace with it... and feel so much stronger, courageous, and connected because of it. 📸 credit Paul and Tonya .

This is the rush. Stay grounded.
This is the rush. Stay grounded.
This is the time of year where it becomes easy to loose ourselves. Ground down... then take action. I have to do the same work you do and I have to say... if it weren’t for some really amazing humans in my life, I may not have made such big leaps the past couple of years. Seriously! How does one go from homeless (bouncing from couch to couch) in 2016, to THRIVING less than 2 years later?
When you act out of love, you receive it.
What is your support system? What support do you have in place?
This time of year our spirit wants to go more inward and hibernate. You may be working out the details and planning for the new year. This is the time. Be patient with yourself. Where can you show yourself compassion? Who are the people you can reach out to, to remind and reflect back to you, your greatness?
2 sound baths coming up this week. I have one in East Cobb on the 8th and one in Buckhead on the 9th. Next week, one in Atlanta on the 14th. Sign up. Let’s ground. Let’s support each other.

Afternoon Cup Introspection/ English Breakfast / Nov 4th / 3:15pm / Sautee Nacoochee, GA.
Afternoon Cup Introspection/ English Breakfast / Nov 4th / 3:15pm / Sautee Nacoochee, GA. //
I have been working on the app for the past few months without problem. I was energized! I was focused! I knew exactly what I needed to do! Well, life happens… it was just this past month that my attention had been pulled in so many different directions that I lost that focus, drive, and clear path of what was next. Though I was pulled for good reason… friends and family needing emotional support, birthdays, keeping by business going… I have been extremely frustrated!
So, what do you do? It has to get done! I have deadlines! Well, when your environment does not support the mission or goal, YOU CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT! Thank goodness for friends who live in beautiful places! I am up in the mountains for a week to work on the app! It’s quiet. I have everything I need. I am so taken care of I don’t even have to think about food! It’s easy to put blame on outside sources, but if I did that nothing would get done! How do you empower yourself in these types of situations? It’s only the second day being here and I have accomplished so much! The goal is to have all content requirements complete by the end of this week so all I will have to work on are edits. Time to get back to it!

Raise your vibration.
Raise your vibration.
“A higher vibration is simply a more consistent vibration, one with fewer distortions and distractions.”
When our thoughts flow smoothly we create a more harmonious flow within the systems of the body. Belief systems can override physical reality. An emotional release can make a physical pain go away. A spiritual breakthrough can ease the mind where one can find peace.
“A willingness to face oneself to course correct, and consistently evolving though self-love and compassion, disperses these distortions. It’s a courageous act. It’s a personal call to action to raise one’s vibration.” -Danielle Hall

Use your tongue to stimulate and balance the chakras!
Use your tongue to stimulate and balance the chakras!
There are five tongue positions used in the Sanskrit Alphabet. As we sound the bija mantras the five different tongue positions stimulate the five elements balancing the chakras.
We are going to utilize these 5 tongue positions tomorrow at Modern Mystic Shop during a FREE class for their Sunday School Series. Come see me from 11am -12pm tomorrow! (Sunday, Nov 4th)
See you tomorrow!

This is going to be EPIC!
This is going to be EPIC!
SoundEmbrace has been successful in creating jobs for sound healers in the corporate wellness arena. Chik-fil-a, Lululemon, and Wix are just a few of our clients and we are deeply thankful to serve them.
We are now stepping into our first fundraising initiative to create job opportunities for sound practitioners in wellness centers and non profit organizations so we may serve our community in mental health and well being.
This EPIC Sound Immersion is going to be at the Fernbank Science Center Planetarium, and I will be accompanied by 4 of my Sound Practitioners! .
.
Imagine sitting comfortably in reclined seats while you are immersed in heavenly sounds that entrain you to a higher state of consciousness. You have the choice to keep your eyes open while taking a visual journey with sound, touring through space; or choose to relax into the sound with eye masks provided for you as gift!
Afterwards, enjoy touring the exhibits, chatting it up with our sponsors and vendors like Kea Beverages, and taking photos at our backdrop. You will leave with a THANK YOU gift bag and a feeling of peace within your mind, body, and spirit!
Why do a fundraiser to hire Sound Practitioners?
I have a strong belief that we can make an immense impact on the world by supporting the communities in our own backyard. I want to support the health and wellness initiatives and organizations already in place in Atlanta but have found that funding is extremely limited in being able to pay practitioners and therapist a wage that supports their own well being and livelihood in their passions work.
This fundraiser creates an ecosystem that will allow SoundEmbrace to hire a Sound Practitioner at a rate that will support them in doing their passions work while also giving back to the community. This not only creates jobs, and provides support to our neighbors, it also elevates the validity of the role of sound healing plays in the health and wellness industry. The best part is... YOU get to be a part of that initiative too!
Sign up for this EPIC experience that gives back to our community!

Seed to liberate the mind.
Seed to liberate the mind.
In Sanskrit, there are certain sounds which cannot be translated into a literal meaning but have the power to create great transformative growth and expansion at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. These are known as “Bija” or Seed Mantras.
In Vedic tradition, “Bija Mantras” are used as tools for the expansion and widening of one’s mind by utilizing the power of sound vibrations.
“Mantra” is a Sanskrit word made up of two syllables: “man” (mind) and “tra” (liberate). The literal translation the word “Mantra” means “to liberate one’s mind”.
“Bija” is translated to “seed.”
Join me Sunday, November 4th, 11am -12pm at Modern Mystic Shop for a FREE class on the Bija Mantras. You will learn A Simple Yet Powerful Bija Mantra Meditation Ritual, apply it in class, as well as receive a sweet sound bath at the end! Are you coming?

Dominic was one of the first Sound Healing Practitioners I mentored and then went on to hire pretty regularly in the Bay Area.
Dominic was one of the first Sound Healing Practitioners I mentored and then went on to hire pretty regularly in the Bay Area. I learned so much about how to be a teach, challenge my students, and making information accessible. Dominic just birthed The Resonant People Project. A non profit researching the affects of sound and vibration. I am super excited to support him in this work and be a collaborative member of the group!
Dominic has started monthly sound bath sessions where proceeds will go straight to this research! Bay Area friends... you can support this research by signing up for one of his sound bath sessions. Everyone wins!!! The next one is November 4th!
If you are wanting to donate to this research you can also go to Resonant People and there is a DONATE button.
We are making way! We can’t wait to share our findings with you and support the elevation of this vast field of Sound Healing Therapy!!!💕
