I went PINK!
I went PINK!
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted pink hair, and for as long as I could remember I have had an excuse not to do it.
In high school, my parents said no.
In college, I didn’t have the money.
First career, I still didn’t have the money.
Second career, no one will take me seriously.
When I walked into Sound Healing, I was carrying a lot of heavy baggage. Most of them labeled: Self Conscious, Not Enough, and Skeptical - which was the heaviest! But something propelled me forward with a deep trust and faith that THIS was what I was supposed to do.
I knew that if I wanted to succeed to the level of my goals in this field I would need to speak to my target audience in a way that would make it accessible. And it worked! But something weird happened in the process…
All these years I had been focused on making sound healing accessible to others, I lost this piece of self-expression for myself out of fear that I would loose everything I have built.
I kept telling myself that I wouldn’t be able to work with corporate clients or doctors offices… That certain boards, or government officials wouldn’t take me seriously let alone teaching my own sound healing classes!
One thing I share with my students, is that if you are not doing your own personal work, you can not expect your clients to. That’s why I continue to share my stories... maybe we find some common ground. While this may be something small for some, it carries a pretty big significance for me. I don’t know how long I will keep it, but I feel so empowered to finally be expressed in this way!
Next! Tattoo sleeve! :o)
What is something you have been putting off bc of fear of someone else’s opinion?

Walking into April like... WHOA!
Walking into April like... WHOA!
I know March was tough for a lot of you. It was tough on me as well... so, what’s next?
Well, deep breaths. It’s all lifting.
April sound bath sessions are posted on the link in bio. Let’s relieve that tension and stress in a sound bath. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon! 💕

Occipital Media poses the question: “Where does your 🧠 lead you when you're imagining a better 🌎?”
Occipital Media poses the question: “Where does your 🧠 lead you when you're imagining a better 🌎?”
I love this question especially after this mornings Creative Morning with Atlanta Creative Morning! I had the opportunity to open for Dollavant talk on water and what she is doing, creating, and BEING through this EMPOWERING app Aquagenuity!!!
For me, its to support the mental health and wellness of our communities through sound healing therapy and to inspire self empowerment. I do that through my sound healing classes (certification program starts in the fall) for sound practitioners to do this work safely and effectively, while also creating job opportunities for SoundEmbrace practitioners in corporate wellness programs, therapy centers, and non profits, while also making this work accessible to those in places that may not have these services through the app I am developing.
We all have our WHY. Connect, create, and you will inspire the action from the collective to support you in making the change you want to see in the world.
Thank you Atlanta Creative Morning and Matchstic House for inviting me to open this months Creative Morning and share a small piece of what I do and the power of sound. ❤️

Self destruction.
Self destruction.
Despite all the opportunities and testimonials coming my way, I have been playing the quiet observer as I watch myself self sabotage... I’ve found myself in a space in my career and personal self awareness that I could never have imagined being in. Its incredible! It’s bigger and better than I could ever have imagined. I’m happy! So why self sabotage?
My sister and I drove down to Tampa to hear Kyle Cease speak. I had watched a few interviews and really loved his authenticity and humor so I was stoked to attend Evolving Out Loud. A woman was chosen from the audience to go through a process with him on stage. There were a few things that came up for her that rang true for me...
1. I couldn’t “believe” the new things coming my way because I didn’t have to try hard for them... and I have a subconscious belief that I have to work hard to accomplish or get what I want.
2. I am afraid to have major success because I am fearful of not knowing who I can trust, both platonic and romantic relationships.
3. I am fearful that BIG success means I will be alone.
Sometimes the coach needs coaching! 🙂
When you are open to observing your limiting beliefs without judgement you actually have the opportunity to choose to change the thought. Now that I have identified the subconscious thoughts running on autopilot in the back of my mind I am STOKED! I feel my focus and energy coming back. I can show love to that side of myself that is trying to protect, and I can move forward empowered. And THANK GOODNESS! In just a few hours I will be speaking and creating a short sound bath experience for Creative Mornings! So blessed!
Have you ever dealt with self sabotage? How did you know you were doing it, and how did you get yourself out of it?

“It’s not in the way you love me. But in the way I love myself.” (And yes, this is a car selfie! 😂)
“It’s not in the way you love me. But in the way I love myself.” (And yes, this is a car selfie! 😂)
We teach others how to treat us. What’s ok, what’s not ok. What we like, what we don’t. And when we don’t speak up in the times we want to be treated differently, we are not only not showing ourselves self love, we are not loving the other person wholeheartedly, but rather reacting out of a fear we are clinging onto. We are also not allowing that person the opportunity to course correct, show up for us, or know what it is we need to feel love in return. (Platonic or romantic)
Many of our stresses come from pointing fingers at someone else (or some thing else) or assuming something about that person... one of the most empowering things we can do is take ownership for the part we play in the situation. Where are we not showing up fully for our self? We may not like the response we receive (if you ever receive one! 🤔 ) but at least we are BEING in alignment with our truth which gives us answers faster so we can manifest our hearts deepest desires.
We all want to feel connected.
We all want to feel wanted.
We all want to feel love.
And the way to all of it, is to have the courage to be vulnerable, own up to the part you play, and empower yourself to take action in expressing your needs and/or desires.
Have you been to a sound bath lately? It’s been a hard month for a lot of us. Link to the next Sound Bath is in the bio. Let’s hug it out.

Thoughts lead to emotions.
Thoughts lead to emotions.
Emotions trigger frequencies that cascade throughout the body telling it how to act, or react.
When we go back to that same thought and dwell in that thought, those same emotions trigger the same frequencies.
We do this enough times and those thoughts become a mood. We dwell more, and these thoughts become a belief system.
The sound healing work we are doing at Kate’s Club and Paradigm San Francisco , is designed to disrupt that feedback loop of emotions that get stuck in these kids bodies turning into unconscious programs, aka subconscious beliefs that they then start operating from.
Trauma can manifest many thoughts... our mission is to support them in remembering they are loved, to support them in finding empowerment within themselves, and creating an opportunity for them to feel what they are feeling without judgement so they can feel peace within. DISRUPTING negative feedback loops to support healthy, happy, and empowered belief systems.
I design a program specifically for that organization or companies needs and mission, and it is facilitated by a trained sound practitioner. Today was another great day of love and connection... feeling grateful for my practitioners (Resonant People Project and Mara Rosaria) and the organizations we serve with this work.

What stays with you…
What stays with you…
+ What does it feel like to loose someone you love?
+ How do you navigate the heartache and unanticipated overflow of emotion?
+ How do you keep yourself healthy?
+ How do you trust the life you have?
This beautiful picture is from one of the most recent Sound Bath’s we provided for Kate’s Club . Not only are these teens navigating the awkwardness of their developing bodies, their place in the world, and getting good grades, THESE 11 teenagers are navigating their feelings of loss and grief of someone they love.
After this sound bath, some of them expressed that they felt calm, more relaxed, and a sense of peace, while for a couple of them, the sound bath was an opportunity for them to express an emotion in a space they felt safe to do so.
These are the things that stay with you.
These are the things that affirm and validate the work we are doing in sound healing.
These are the things that inspire and give us the strength and courage to move forward!
This Thursday, March 21st join me for an inspiring evening of Quantum Meditation with Suzanne Adams , Kundalini Yoga with Leigh Mallis , and an Epic Sound Bath with my co facilitators Sonido Sound, Angelica A Gurel , and Mara Osaria , as well as apprentices Picsces Dreamer , Stress Less with Snehaj, Yoga with Larry, Shawn J. Moore and Deron Singh! Ticket sales go towards raising money to continue the doing this work at Kates Club.
This is the kind of thing that stays with you.
And for these kids…
Tickets $35 preregister
$45 at the door if seating is available.
Sign up now so we can see you’re coming. We thank you 🙏

This Sundays “Sound Journey” is NOT a Sound Bath as “usual”!
This Sundays “Sound Journey” is NOT a Sound Bath as “usual”!
This session will challenge you.
This session is interactive.
This session will ask you to participate.
This session may be brutal.
Its time to get real with yourself.
Where are you holding yourself back? Where are you not living in alignment?
For healing to occur you must face yourself and take personal ownership. Then, show yourself compassion, and make the next best step.
I am teaching a sound healing method that can only be done in a group setting. You will be broken up into small groups for this. Sound Journey WILL NOT be offered again until the fall. So this is your last chance to get in on one until then.
No sound healing experience necessary. Only an open mind and open heart.
"THE SECRET OF CHANGE IS TO FOCUS ALL OF YOUR ENERGY, NOT ON FIGHTING THE OLD, BUT ON BUILDING THE NEW." -SOCRATES
This Sunday, at The Center for Love and Light I will guide you in building the new. And you will be supported and held by the group.

“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.”
“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.”
You are expansive. You have the capability of so much. You can do as little or as much as you want, show up as small or as big... you are everything, you are everywhere, and every space...
The weather are your emotions. And your emotions are a record of the past. It’s temporary. It doesn’t define you. It doesn’t own you. You get to decide how you work with it, or against it. How you prepare for it, or evolve through it.
You get to decide what artifacts you keep, what baggage to leave.
Tonight’s Sound Bath at Bar Method Atlanta East Cobb will support you in relieving stress, and quiet that mind chatter. Once in this space, you will feel a deeper connection to self. You will feel more expansive. And you will feel more clarity and empowered. Keep what serves, leave what doesn’t! 💕
See you tonight! Link in bio to sign up! I look forward to seeing you.

It's my birthday and I'll be Bowie if I want too!
It's my birthday and I'll be Bowie if I want too!
Another year and YES! I can feel the “Cha Cha Cha Cha Changes”! As “Young Americans” in our “Golden Years”, a birthday may have one... “Under Pressure”! I am somewhere above the mid 30's, old enough to know better, but feeling like a “Rebel Rebel”! Is “There Life on Mars”? I hope so! Because Im “Loving the Alien” and ready to be a “Space Oddity”!
This next rotation is going to be filled with a little more weird, a little more sweetness, and a heck of a lot more SoundEmbrace!
THANK YOU for being here! THANK YOU for your openness in your journey! Now, “Let's Dance”! 💕

I was once told I was “too ambitious”. I did it anyway!
I was once told I was “too ambitious”. I did it anyway!
Ah! Well! Maybe! But how else do you change the world??!! 😏I know $9000 is kind of a hefty number but not when that number is tied to an initiative to help others. This event, Thursday March 21st is to raise money to help us continue the sound healing work we started at Kate’s Club . This will take us through the end of the year supporting kids navigating life after death of a loved one. (If we raise more in this event, this will go towards supporting the staff, volunteers, and parents through sound healing)
Yea, that’s me.. the brunette on the right. One of these days I will make the time for a new headshot so y’all will email me more about the initiative and not my hair 😂. Thanks for the love and confirmation you’re digging the blonde though! 😜
Really though, when I started this Give Back program in December, I knew the money would come to start this work in the programs we are working with now. I just needed to put the work into it. You have to dream big, do the work, while also making space for magic!
This is more than just a charity event. It’s also an opportunity to meet like minded practitioners in the wellness field. There is time to network, receive a mini reiki session from The Center for Love and Light, and get an eye mask for coming to the event! You will be inspired by the content and experience we have put together for you and leave with a sense of awe in awarenesses that come up for you. And this is the magic... community coming together to support and champion what’s needed for our neighbors. It’s incredible.✨
It will be an evening of Connection + Magic. The best part, is that by attending, you are not just receiving this great experience for yourself, you are also giving back to your community.
Suzanne Adams hosts The Center for Love and Light , Pranic Soul and SoundEmbrace and my team of sound practitioners Sonido Sound Healing , Angelica A Gurel , Mara Rosaria , Pisces Dreamer , Shawn J Moore , Stress Less with Snehaj , Deaundra Audrey Cash , Deron Singh .
We are already approaching 100 people!

I love these moments... these “beyond words” moments.. they catch you off guard and make you feel a certain way.
I love these moments... these “beyond words” moments.. they catch you off guard and make you feel a certain way. Surprised. Seen... that feeling like what you do and who you are matters. It gives you a moment of great pause in a world where we are always ON.
...like the times you send me your testimonials of how this work has impacted you 💕
... times where people just show up when they know it means something to you💕
...times where someone calls you out on the story you’re telling yourself 💕
...times where someone calls you out on the bad spelling and grammar for the stories you are telling 😂💕
... the time someone you like calls you “babe” for the first time 💕
... times when someone reaches out because they are inspired by your story and want to interview you on their podcast 🤯💕

Entering my birthday month with a little R+R.
Entering my birthday month with a little R+R.
Time just seems to slow down here... and I am thinking I need more of this. Like, on the regular... taking this way of being back to Atlanta...I’m sure it a challenge you gave too... the days just seem to fly!!!
I could feel the burnout rising just before December’s Sound Bath at the planetarium. I was becoming extremely irritable, unable to focus, and not sleeping well.
Taking time for self care will give you more time. There are layers to it. It’s not only keeping your body in a state of health, but you look younger! Your mental focus is faster! You are able to find/keep a gratitude mindset more easily! And you feeling the spaciousness of time! (The list can really go on!)
I will be back in town just in time to support you in a little R+R. Wednesday, March 6th is the next sound bath. Hope to see you there to hug it out and take deep breathes together. I’m looking forward to it. 💕

MA N T R A is the use of the human voice to affect consciousness.
MA N T R A is the use of the human voice to affect consciousness. {Man = mind Tra = projection}
Everything in the universe, is in constant motion, vibrating. Vibration is pure energy.
One of the most beneficial technologies available to us is the science of sound, the Shabd Guru, "sound teacher."
The transformational Shabd, or sound, is composed of vibrations that shut off the ego, and take us from darkness to light.
When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in those particular syllables.
Whether it's for prosperity, peace of mind, increasing intuition, or any other possible benefits inherent in mantras, simply by chanting them we are setting vibrations into motion that shall have an effect. It doesn't actually matter if we understand the meaning of the sounds or not.
Join me for an ATLANTA CHARITY EVENT - A powerful night of fun, expansion, connection and GIVING BACK! Pranic Soul will offer an experience of MANTRA as a way to set the vibration just right to receive a powerful quantum meditation from our lovely host Suzanne Adams. This is an evening of Quantum Leaping into the life of your dreams in Altanta on March 21st. And I will be there, accompanied by Sonido Sound and Mara Rosaria , to deepen the experience through sound healing.
The best part is — ALL PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO CHARITY!
Partnered with The Center for Love and Light we will receive the funds to continue our sound healing work in supporting Kate’s Club , an organization supporting children grieving from the loss of a parent.
If you want to give back, open your heart and network with the high vibe Atlanta community, then click the link in my bio and register for your ticket to give back today!
"Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the chakras and the human psyche." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Tag a friend in Atlanta that you know is ready to Quantum Leap into their dreams. (This post was written by Pranic Soul )

This is how the sky opened up today.
This is how the sky opened up today.
Sometimes I don’t know when to pause. I stayed here in meditation for... I don’t know how long. Tears streamed down my face as I looked out. It was as though my whole body sighed. I could hear the birds chirping. Some animals burrowing. And different bugs navigating their already long morning.
Pause.
It doesn’t mean to quit.
It doesn’t mean stop.
It means... allow.
It means to put on hold. Maybe for a minute... a day... And then you pick up up again, or not. Maybe you have a new perspective.
It’s hard for me to pause... Honestly, a couple friends keep me accountable. Otherwise, I will keep working... the accountability was put into place a couple of years ago because of an old fear that I will look up one day and realized that I worked my life away instead of truly living it! Sound familiar? I’m still not great at it... but I do know how I feel after a good Pause. Which is why I keep nudging you to find that that too. It’s life giving.
Maybe you can’t go on a trip right now... but you can carve out time everyday for stillness. Even once a month for a sound bath. Find moments to pause.

“I’m not going to fight against something. I’m going to fight for something.”
“I’m not going to fight against something. I’m going to fight for something.”
Sometimes I feel like my job is really to have conversations with people.. asking them questions about the things they are holding onto.
“Where are you giving your power away?”
“Are you happy in the job/relationship?”
“What about your health/body you struggling with?”
There is a belief system attached to all of these things. There is a perspective that they are holding on to that is keeping them trapped in the same pattern. Same health. Same relationships. THESE THINGS that they are fighting for and holding on to as their identities.
Yet, at any moment, we can decide to be someone new. We can choose to fight for something different. Something better. But it will take letting go of what’s comfortable and familiar, and step into a place you haven’t been.
It’s a choice to hold resentment.
It’s a choice to stay in the job.
It’s a choice to open your heart to love and stay, but it’s also a choice to love and to go.
It’s a choice to speak differently to yourself.
Dr Joe Dispenza’s research on shifting your belief is eye opening. If you can get to a place of experiencing pure consciousness your body, mind, and heart will shift and start to repair.
He says, “you can’t think your way out of thinking. You can’t ego your way out of ego.” It takes a lot of time. But getting to a place of pure consciousness is like the Sonic the Hedgehog fast track for your mind-body!
Sound baths a great way to help you get to that state. The next one is next week! Wednesday the 6th. I have opportunities for you on the Eastside, Westside, and East Cobb/Marietta. AND a special/INTENSE sound healing experience called Sound Journey on the 17th, as well as an epic experience through Quantum Meditation, Kundalini Yoga, and Sound Bath!(that one is a fundraiser, too!) That’s March 21!💕
March, is DOPE! I can’t wait to see you for one/all these experiences! Stop fighting against the life you don’t want... fight for the life YOU DO WANT. Link in bio for details and to sign up!
