Thank you Chick-Fil-A for inviting me again to provide the Chill Sound Immersion session for your company! You always take such good care of me when I am there. .
.
If you would like SoundEmbrace at your office, DM me and let’s chat about how we can make it happen. I have trained sound practitioners in Atlanta, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. I would love to learn about your company and your goals for supporting and empowering your employees.

What would it feel like to make $5k a month? 10k? 20k?
Before I got into doing Sound Healing work, I was a photographer and retoucher for 11 years. When you are in the photo industry you have to know how to share your message through ONE image and often times, very little text. Part of the creative challenge was that I had to tell many different stories because the message would be different for each job and client.
I am sharing this, because I was asked a really great question today: “Why are you teaching a business class and what experience do you actually have?”
My 11 years in the photography industry gave me that experience. Then, I slowly transitioned into doing Sound Healing work. I was 3 years in when I started teaching “Sales as a Spiritual Practice” and have spoken and taught at break out sessions at a couple of conferences. .
Interestingly, I had moved back to ATL in 2016 for a Sound Healing opportunity. I moved here, and then the “opportunity” fell through and I became homeless, bouncing from one friends couch to another while still keeping my business in SF a float. Because of what I am going to teach in the “Sales as a Spiritual Practice” class, I went from homeless to thriving in 1 year! Keeping my business in SF and building here in ATL.
Some of you don’t know what it really means to be an entrepreneur. Some of you are doing great work but are stretched so thin its hard to focus and get out of that fight or flight mode to make any headway. And some of you don’t know how to confidently price your offerings, get stuck or feel guilty, and then do it for free or low cost…
This class is a step FORWARD in feeling confident in DOING BUSINESS in the work you are so passionate about. You will gain community, clarity, and resources. I have added a coaching call to the class so we can chat a few weeks afterwards to see how you are doing and gain more clarity on next steps!
I am teaching this class because its time. I am teaching this class because I have lived through what you are feeling right now. I am teaching this class because you have stepped into alignment and WE need you to confidently move forward.

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.

In flight.
On a plane headed to the Bay Area for a FULL work week. We are a week and a half away from the fundraiser and I find myself surprisingly calm despite the heavy TO DO list.
Everything is coming together. The flow feels really good... Here is a little “behind the scenes” of why this fundraiser is able to happen:
1. Christopher Wood will be stepping in for me to finalize the graphics on Wednesday.
2. Angelica Arias Gurel is storing 5 rugs, 200 hangers, and few other boxes.
3. Nicole Hall is updating content on my website, while Em is running errands all over town all week.
4. Mindful Mornings Atlanta and Modern Mystic Shop are actively handing out promo cards for the fundraiser.
5. Jamie Butler and Corey Dobyns are collecting Auction and Gift bag items.
6. Dr. Crystal Jones emailed me a list of her favorite personal quotes to share.
7. Videographer is secured for the event! LeeAnn! Wow... you beautiful soul!
8. Christina Wedge and The Click Box have coat check racks ON LOCK!
9. Brianne has my back with pack pick up!
10. And so many of you are sharing this event on your social media and by word of mouth to your friends and family!
As you can see... there are many people to thank for bringing this together. We are so close to 200! Will you share the event? Let me know if you would like me to send a picture and/short blurb about it. The only way we will be able to fill 500 seats is if I ask... thank you for considering to share the event. Next time I write, it will be from SF!

I know I have been talking a lot about this fundraiser... let me now talk about what’s happening this week!
Sound Bath:
Wednesday Dec 5th
6 spots available!
The Center for Love and Light
Sound Bath:
Thursday December 6th
10 spots available!
Bar Method ATL in East Cobb
Then I head out to the Bay Area on Saturday! (I know... right before the fundraiser!!??) We work with this amazing therapy center out there bringing sound healing to their kids once a week, the Resonant People Project. The first practitioner I hired to work with them is still working with them! 😉
Well, I am elated to share that Paradigm San Francisco is growing to the point where as of December, we are now offering 2 sound baths a week! I am excited to meet the new staff and the new house!
I also have a cool corporate client, Tophatter, I will meet for the first time in person and provide 3 sound baths for. Then, later in the week, I will get up to Petaluma to provide an experience for a women’s retreat called Soulstice Sisterhood produced by Ashley Burnett!
As you can see... we are working away right up until the end! But, HOLY COW! Something BIG is brewing for 2019. I can feel it!

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
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

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!!!💕

Social media has created a whole new industry where there are now therapist specializing in social media addiction and the depression, anxiety, and attempted suicides that come with it. And I’m NOT just talking about adults... I work with one of those amazing therapy centers. I am so thankful for the work that Paradigm San Francisco does to help our youth, and the value they see from having sound healing as part of their program once a week. This is real. For something that is suppose to bring us together, and be a source of information, how can we empower our youth when they are inundated by highlight reels? I’m not saying take away screen time... this is still a powerful tool! But how do we empower our youth on social media? I don’t know what it’s like to be a parent. But I can tell you that our kids need us. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be hired by these therapy centers to work with them...
What dialog are you having with your children around social media? Have you experienced a dialog around comparison, depression, anxiety, or sexuality from what they are seeing on these channels? Comment below.
(Thank you ahead time for anyone commenting on this sensitive topic.)

As you become more AWAKE on your spiritual path, you may not fully understand the experiences you are having.. and with this, you may start to feel alone in your experience. Tonight I am co creating a gathering with Ashley Burnett and Monica Lucero where we connect with the solstice energy for an evening of connection, love, and magic! We have a few spots available. Check out the link in my profile for more details. (But DM me for a promo link only I can give out!). This is a group of like minded women, here to support other women. You will leave this experience feeling refreshed, expressed, and filled with so much love!

If you know me, you know that I laugh A LOT. And… pretty loud at that!!! But there is just something about snow that makes me giggle uncontrollably and smile like nothing else! There is this sense of peace and calm about it…everything goes still and silent. Reflecting inward. There is simply this feeling of MAGIC! Then, as if transported back to childhood, I suddenly realize I am looking at the world in a new way! With lightness! Carefree! And overwhelmingly filled with so much love! FILLED WITH MAGIC! In writing this I had the thought of, “When did I loose that sense of magic?” But quickly realized that I’ve never lost it! I just haven’t slowed down enough to allow myself to feel it on a day-to-day basis! Or even acknowledge the MAGIC I CREATE!Tomorrow I leave for San Francisco for 7 days. 5 of those days I get to collaborate with some really amazing women! Tuesday the 12th is with Ashley Burnett where we are creating a beautiful Winter Solstice evening retreat! Wednesday is with Misty and Katy Jercich from StudioMix SF, where you will experience a relaxing sound bath! Thursday is a private event for SOULstice Sisterhood!, Friday and Sunday, a soothing, yet restorative yoga + sound bath with Lorraine Perez. I hope to see you at one of these gatherings. We get to choose to create or allow magic in our lives. Come laugh with me! I have hugs for everyone! Allow magic in.

Morning Cup Introspection/ Almond milk Chai Latte / Oct 16th / 9:34am / Atlanta, GA. //
Good morning!! Just 18 hours left to support Soundembrace wellness app. Thank you for your messages, ideas, and hugs! Especially the hugs!!! I've needed them. It's been "one of those weeks"... you know the kind.. the kind where the overwhelm makes you second guess things. Even second guessing yourself. These moments are such blessings though. You get to see what you are made of, and if you don't like what's coming up, you can change it! I find so much strength in looking back at what I have accomplished in this field; providing sound healing for corporate companies like LinkedIn, Wix, and Casper. Collaborating with LuLuLemon and Studio Mix SF. And what I feel is my biggest accomplishment, is working with Paradigm San Francisco supporting kids dealing with various degrees of trauma. SHOOT! I'm also teaching other practitioners to do this and have 4 people I hire to do sound healing work from contracts I obtain! This overwhelm is temporary. To be a part of helping so many people see and experience life in a new way... is a reward I'm willing to sacrifice and work for. I wish this was around when I was sick and loosing hope... The link for the campaign is in the bio. Please donate $5. It is a small amount that will help in a big way! Thank you so much!

Afternoon Cup Introspection/ Almond milk Chai Latte / Oct 4th / 12:47pm /San Francisco, CA. //
It's my last few hours in SF. The tour is over. I'm sitting in one of my favorite cafes thinking about the trip. Taking in what I have accomplished. Letting what I have learned about myself during this time settle. After a month away, it will be nice to sleep in my own bed, laugh with my housemates, and have a home cooked meal. More to share soon. But for now, it feels like a time to sit with everything with gratitude.

App update!
Mobile AppHero is on it! The server is setup, personal login has been created, content is being uploaded, and in about 2 weeks I will be able to download the app to start testing some of the basic functions! I am scheduling time in the studio with Luke Campolieta in Oct to continue producing high quality sound healing tracks. He knows about micing these highly vibratory instruments. These tracks will be specifically for Stress Reduction, Insomnia, Energy Boost, and the Chakras. Martina Albano will be mastering all the sound experiences. If you make music, you should know her! Reach out, Im happy to introduce you. I will elaborate on the awesomeness of Mobile AppHero ,Luke, and Martina in another post. I have to say, they are pretty amazing humans! So far, $1175 has been raised! Incredible! THANK YOU! I am blown away by your generosity. Check out the link in my bio to find more details about what the app is about. Even donating $5 is a huge help!
Just about one and a half more weeks left on this tour. I'm about to head down to LA for a sound immersion on Sunday the 24th : Relax in Sound in Los Angeles, and then Wednesday the 27th back in San Francisco for Relax in Sound.

Evening Cup Introspection/ Almond milk Chai Latte / Sept 19th / 6:01pm / Kings Beach, CA.
There is a study by Santa Cruz University that compared historical views of looking out across an ocean or lake versus looking out across land. The study said that looking across these large bodies of water instilled hope, and that you could see and feel infinite possibility. Having the opportunity to do that this weekend did just that. It alleviated some fear I had over how this crowdfunding campaign would go. (Link in bio) Made me think about what success is for me, and to me. It's was the reset I needed to put a few things in perspective. Little bit of caffeine before I set out on the road back to the Bay. I hope you join me tomorrow in San Rafael for a beautiful Sound + Breath gathering under the stars with Faye Wilder, and then on Thursday in SF at StudioMix SF for a Heart Opening Vinyasa Flow followed by an integrative Sound Experience. Then! Sunday in LA for a sound immersion at JAM .
Lots of opportunities to hug it out!

Afternoon Cup Introspection/ Coconut Chai Latte / Sept 15th /11:51 / San Leandro, CA.
I had a moment of clarity last night when I was facilitating a sound experience for SOULstice Sisterhood led by Ashley Burnett. In all the doing, the prep, the scheduling, the research, the teaching, the EVERYTHING that you have to and need to do to bring your dream to a waking reality I suddenly become enveloped with immense joy that I AM LIVING MY DREAM. It was intense and beautiful! The hard work and perseverance is paying off... even with this app! The vulnerability that comes from asking your community, friends, and family to support your dream in a financial energetic exchange, The courage that it takes to do something no one has done, And the pause. The powerful pause to acknowledge that I am doing something great. Something that will help so many people! And the biggest thing of all is that through this support I know I am not alone. I am so thankful for my Soul sisters, my Bay Area Family, my Atlanta family, my Yoga family, my Sound Healing family, my FAMILY FAMILY, and my Plywood People family! Incredible... If you are looking for the link to donate to this sound healing app, check out the link. So much love!
<3 Danielle
Oh Hai Bay Bay! I have two great sound experiences for you! One in San Rafael where Faye Wylder and I will guide you in an evening of embodied transformation under the new moon equinox sky! The other is in San Francisco, at StudioMix SF where Cait Ryan and I will guide you through a heart opening vinyasa that transitions into a rejuvenative sound immersion.
I can't wait to see you!!! I have a gift for you, too!! I'm so excited!

Morning Cup Introspection/ English Breakfast / Sept 14th /5:26am / New York, NY
New York love affair... l often fantasize about living in NY. After finding my mentor here I am even more tempted! It's fun to flirt with the energy and experience the rush of inspiration... and though I see possibility and potential, my heart resides in Atlanta. New York, you're a tease! Show me your softer, quieter side and I might take you seriously.
It's easy to get caught up in the energy of doing. I'm about to hop in a cab to head out to the Bay Area. 6 hour flight from here so I have some time to reset. I have 4 events out there and I would love to see you at one of them so we can hug it out!
I am giving out eye masks too! See you soon!
<3 Danielle
Afternoon Cup Introspection/ Chai Tea / Sept 7th / 2:40pm (Atlanta, GA.)
The crowdfunding page has launched (link in bio!) people are sharing it! People are donating! And I am beyond grateful! Thank you for believing in me and this project. It's.. just incredible. There is still so much do but it's like I have found some secret well of energy and happiness that just keeps me moving forward. If you have not experienced a sound bath or the therapeutic power of sound in this way, this month I have events in a few cities for you to check it out and experience it for yourself. If you are in Atlanta I have one tonight!
39 more days of the campaign to go! I look forward to hugging it out with you soon!
<3 Danielle
