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!

There is the tendency to write about the things that are going well. And.. there are a lot of things going really well! Those are the easy ‘shares’. But these introspection’s are also a way for me to share the frustrating aspects that come into play when running a wellness business, sharing about Sound Healing and events, as well Soundembrace being a real person (ME) who actually lives what she preaches! And btw, not at all perfect.

Like right now. I’m really frustrated. And have been frustrated for about a week. Last night I tossed and turned, wrestling with thoughts that came up from every part of my life. At some point I finally passed out, but journaling about it this morning I realized that there are a few things I had given my power away on and what I’m left with is waiting, wanting, disappointment, a little insecurity, and restlessness.

The more you do your inner work, the faster you can work through moments like this. You identify them quicker. You start to notice the physical manifestations that are wanting to act out. I knew there was something up when my head was flooded with “random” thoughts last night. After sitting with it, I knew what I needed to do and can now take action. I would love to hear your introspection stories! This is a great practice for self reflection and growth. You may be surprised what comes up!

“Can Sound Healing cure me?”

“Can Sound Healing cure me?” You wouldn’t believe how many times I am asked this question. My answer always surprises them. “NO!” Sound healing is ONE of the tools I use to help you relieve stress and reduce pain. Whatever the ailment: physical, mental, or emotional, sound healing CAN play a major role in the success of your health goals, and cause some major transformations! But like many forms of therapy or medication, it would only be like putting a band aid over the problem if you do not take these Epigenetic factors into consideration!

When I work with someone, it’s not just about sound healing. (Although, VERY powerful!) I’m also evaluating the epigenetic factors contributing to the root cause of the issue.

Those who signed up for T60 have already received a pretty raw piece of my story in their inbox. No one wants to hear a story about a 5 year old being pinned down! This first memory of a doctors visit shaped my belief system around life and my health that I have carried into adulthood and shaped my perspective and experience of the world until I was 28. Wherever you are on your journey, know that you have way more control of your health than you think. Don’t give up your power. Work in collaboration with Doctors. Ask questions and take action.

Over the next 60 days, I will introduce you to ancient intelligence that shows the power you have over your own health.

Over the next 60 days, I will introduce you to ancient intelligence that shows the power you have over your own health.

My interest in the mind-body-spirit connection didn’t occur over night. It was through my own health journey that I was motivated to seek out answers to the chronic symptoms I was experiencing. Through this search, I have discovered a power I didn’t know I had to under go radical transformation.

Let me get one thing straight with you! Your health and wellness goals are not going to fit in a “one size fits all” package or program. The hard truth is that the starting line is revealed when you can finally be real with yourself in where you are.

I know you are sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Here is the good news! Transformation 60 is going to guide you in getting to the core. We will explore epigenetic factors that are contributing to the state of your health, how to shift those factors so your body can repair itself, and use sound healing to support the body in relieving stress.

You can follow here, but you will get the most through signing up with the link in my bio. For 60 day’s you will receive an email with in-depth content, resources, and support! A lot can happen in 60 days!

Intro: Do you believe transformation can happen in 60 days?

Intro:
Do you believe transformation can happen in 60 days? Here we go... it's been MONTHS since I've been regular with my work out routine, and let's face it... it's starting to show. But my waistline isn't the only thing I need to work on. It's also my mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Let me tell ya! I have all the excuses: Work has taken over my life, there has been so much travel, I deserve more sleep and more ice cream, there isn't enough time in the day! But that's life, right?!? I could get down on myself for it, OR I could choose to change it! Sometimes we forget that we actually have a choice! We get to choose, so CHOOSE wisely! I'm feeling motivated to document this for you for a couple of reasons: 1.) The app! I want to show you what epigenetic factors are, how to take them into consideration when it comes to your health, and how to use sound healing tracks in supporting your wellness goals! So stick with me to witness the story and to see the results! Check in to my IG Live, as well. That's where I'll really get to talk to you! 2.) I have been invited to go to the Grammy's in New York in January!!! (SAY WHAT?!?) It's an opportunity to celebrate the power and influence of music, and I want to look an feel my best! This is also around the same time Soundembrace App will officially launch and YOU KNOW I will want to celebrate it! Join me for Transformation 60! A lot can happen in 60 days! It's starts now!

You know that feeling you get when you’ve been running and running and running, and then you stop and look back to see how far you’ve come? You’re a little out of breath, but DAMN! That was a long way! And you can feel that your body, mind, and spirit have been working but you have this serene sense of calm.

Today is the last day in the recording studio. After this session, all of the tracks for the first iteration of the app will have been recorded and will head into mixing, and then mastering. It’s surreal to think about the enormity of this project and that this piece… this pivotal piece, is almost done! 
I’ve had a few “Oh Shit!” moments… some moments based out of fear, but mostly they have based out of excitement and I have been catching myself saying, “Fuck YEAH!” a lot! And right now, stopped, I am looking back, standing in that “Fuck YEAH!” moment. I am looking forward to experiencing how it feels when the app launches!!! What will I be saying then!?!?!?!

Started the Relaxation/Stress Reduction section. Here's a peak into "The Zone". 5 tracks down! You would think I would be exhausted after creating 5- 30min sound healing tracks, but quite the opposite! I had so much energy I put it to work catching up on things. Lately, I've been feeling like I just can't catch up. It's all good though! I'm having so much fun learning, creating, and researching it doesn't feel like work! And there is so much to look forward to. OK! Check out the happenings tomorrow!

It was a mad dash into the studio! I was 10 minutes late but it all worked out! Whenever I am done setting up in a space I ALWAYS clear the energy of the room. ALWAYS! Even corporate jobs! My preference is to use sage, cedar, palo santo, put up reiki symbols, and then use a special tuning fork! (In that order!) Over kill? Hahah! It always feels better in the space! I don't always get to burn stuff, but I always clear the room somehow. Energy balanced! It's GO TIME!

Maybe I was a little too ambitious this morning... side affect of waking up earlier? I ended up spilling tea all over my shirt, but hey! I had the extra time to change, right!?Well, I also thought I had enough time to pick up some snacks to have in the studio today... last time my stomach decided it wanted to be a part of the recording! And then I decided to go to Lowes Home Improvement to pick up some clamps for an idea I have for the drum setup... Now, I'm running a little late! Ahhhh... ok, on my way!

There is something to learn from every person weaving in and out of our lives. Last week I made the time to get away so I could focus on the app. (THANK GOODNESS for friends in beautiful quiet places!) I got so much work done it was INSANE! One of the things I learned from Ari this past week was to give myself more time in the morning. I usually wake up, roll out of bed and start the day's work with crazy "oh shit" energy! Once I get where I need to be or sitting down to do the work, I have to go through a grounding exercise to focus! Or, I am carrying that "oh shit" energy with me all day! Now that I'm back and have this new found awareness of my morning (non) routine, my alarm is going off a little bit earlier, and Im giving myself time to wake up, collect my thoughts, and move my body. Very important for today...

Let's see if I can share today's story... Waking up excited! Today, I get back into the recording studio. It's 45 degrees, alarm went off at 7am, and I need to fit in a few things before I leave. The insomnia tracks have already been recorded and mixed by Luke Campolieta , and are now going through the mastering process with Martina Albano, Love these two! When creating something you are deeply passionate about, it's is important to also choose people to work with you who are also passionate about what they do, and believe in your project. Luke and Martina don't just believe in it, they GET IT! Which one of the main reasons I wanted to work with them. More soon!

Deep down everyone wants to be a part of something special. Something that is shaping a better future. Something that gives us purpose. I want to say that this app is just the beginning... but the beginning happened way before me with people like Jonathan Goldman, Bruce Lipton, Dr.Mitchel Gaynor, and John Beaulieu! Heck! Let's also say Thomas Edison and Nicola Tessa! 

As I move forward, "standing on the shoulders of giants", I would also like to acknowledge everyone who donated and shared about the crowdfunding. You are a part of something special. Thank you for lifting me up on your shoulders. Words can't even come close to express the gratitude I feel for you showing up for me in this way. But I also acknowledge that it may not be because of me at all... that it is because you have lived in pain, and have faith that this can be something great! 

I'm going to take a break today...have some ice cream, take a walk, rest for a bit, and allow it all to sink in. Tomorrow, I will wake up refreshed and ready to move through the content for the next stages of app development. This is so exciting!

Last of the count down. In 3 hours, what is, will be what is. I gathered with some friends to take time, to take some time to sit with what I have accomplished with the app so far and the closing of the campaign. As I take these last sips I acknowledge the journey, I acknowledge what I have learned, and most importantly, I acknowledge all who have supported. Thank you. 3 hours left... and in closing, that link is in the bio to donate... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

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!

As many of you know, I launched a crowdfunding page to help​ with the financial weight of creating something BIG!

As many of you know, I launched a crowdfunding page to help​ with the financial weight of creating something BIG! A sound healing app. There are only 2 days left in my crowd funding efforts and I need your help… and in a BIG WAY!

The humbling truth is… I am nowhere near my goal and the campaign ends THIS​ Monday, October 16th at 1pm EST​. Regardless of meeting the goal​, the app is still being made!

However, having your support would alleviate some of this financial weight in making this happen. Donating just $5 is extremely helpful. Asking your friends and family to donate $5 could be a Game Changer! You can find the link to donate in the bio. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for believing in this mission.

As more of you open, speak your truth, and step into your purpose, living authentically aligned and unapologetically you...

As more of you open, speak your truth, and step into your purpose, living authentically aligned and unapologetically you, you are going to face some difficult times. Times of immense stress that if not managed, can manifest in physical ways. With all that is currently happening in the world, I believe we are being challenged to BE more. To DO more. To LIVE purposefully. That is why I feel that I must create this sound healing app. I believe that NO ONE has to live in pain. I believe this so strongly that I am being challenged to BE and DO more. Living purposefully to create a tool that will make this change by affecting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body supporting the reduction of pain and stress. 
This app is a tool for transformation. There is only 5 days left in my crowdfunding efforts and I need your help. Donating even just $5 is extremely helpful. Asking your friends and family to donate $5 is a game changer!

Thank you for your love and support

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!
