The Long Game.
The Long Game.
I have had many goals with SoundEmbrace over the years. All with the mission of elevating the industry of Sound Healing Therapy to help more people live a life they love waking up to everyday!
As students go through my program I often share that it would be daunting to think about climbing a mountain without ever having had put on a harness before.
So if you have an idea of where you would like to go, or the community of people you would like to help, working backwards from that goal is helpful in creating a strategic plan to get there. But! Try not to be so attached to the plan that you miss out on opportunities along the way!
While using sound to heal entered into my life in 7th grade band class, here is a snippet of my SEE timeline:
2010 - Body deteriorating / Found out I am allergic to gluten
2011 - Body healing. I devour info to try to understand what happened.
2012 - Dove into learning about Sound Healing
2013 - Had a 1 on 1 practice + group monthly sessions
2014 - Corporate + Small Speaking Engagements
2015 - Therapy Centers + Created job opportunities for practitioners.
2016 - Homeless/Pivot/Regroup/Still doing above.
2017 - Speaking Engagement (400 people!) + Sound Experience
2018 - More speaking engagements + all the above.
2019 - Spoke at first medical conference in person/ Hospital and Non Profits, Opened a Sound Healing Store, Started a Certification Program.
2020 - Virtual Membership Platform + Spoke at 2nd medical conference (virtual).
2021 - Almost done with my Masters Degree and continuing the process of creating an associates degree in Sound Healing Therapy.
... my students are doing all of the above in less time than it took me!!!

Quote About Intent
Intent is the energy behind the sound.
It is the consciousness that we have when we're making and projecting a sound.

Learn Depth in Facilitating
And you can, too!
How do you get to the point of being able to tap in to such depths of what your clients are experiencing during a Sound Bath Session?
What are some practical steps you can take to gain the trust within yourself in knowing when and why you need to shift your facilitating?
Who is your ideal client, how do you communicate the value of what you offer, and how do you reach them to share about your offerings?
Learn this and more in the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program. Registration is open. Link above in classes for a free consultation call, find out more information, and to sign up right away to get started!
We will then meet virtually January 8 + 9 to bring SEE1 concepts together. Leaving class ready to begin facilitating! If after SEE1 you are interested in moving forward with the rest of the program, at that point you can sign up for SEE2!
No prior experience, musical or meditation knowledge to join. One crystal or Himalayan bowl is recommended but not mandatory!
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!

I can see it.
The fidgeting.
The jerk of a leg.
The deep slow breath turned rapid.
The brow furrowed.
The clenched hands.
I can sense it.
The weight on my shoulders.
The temperature shift.
The knowings.
The taste of metals.
The emotions building.
Heart swell!
Heart swell!
Research shows that when measuring neurotransmitters of people in a meditation designed to activate their heart, the heart releases a chemical called Oxytocin (the love chemical).
Oxytocin signals Nitric oxide, Nitric oxide signals Endothelial Derived Relaxin factor, which then causes the vessels in your heart to swell so you will literally have energy in your heart. You will feel like your heart is full! ❤️
Once the heart is activated, it acts as an amplifier 💓 and it amplifies energy in the brain. So once you activate and open the heart, and it begins to signal the brain, you actually suppress the survival centers. And research shows that when we do this, it will reset your baseline.
It’s the heart that actually resets the amygdala of the brain. The amygdala is where we hold our emotions.

Acoustics of Buildings
Polio lent tremendous insight into acoustics of buildings and the power of echo and reverberation.
It was learning how to create this architecture so that when an individual went into a space and would go into song or chant or invocation, the reverberation would support them in reaching higher states of consciousness and connection to a Divine Force.

Sound Healing Therapy is not going away anytime soon.
Sound Healing Therapy is not going away anytime soon.
As more and more awareness of this powerful therapy gets out, I see more and more of my alumni students working with Hospitals, Therapy Centers, Corporations, Festivals, and Non-profits.
With all this 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?
New practitioners entering the field are unaware of how sound affects the body and how to adapt in their sessions.
The SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program will empower you to create sessions that support your clients on their path to healing as well provide a foundation to speak from on this work with confidence.
It will also support you in building a foundation for your business to launch by the time you have completed the program!
The Sound Healing Certification Program is for those who are ready to make a difference in their community. This is a NO JOKE program that will take you beyond the limitations you put on yourself and support you in breaking free into a state of empowered leadership!
Sign up for a free consultation call with me with the link in bio. Begin Level 1 (SEE1) today, and I will see you for our virtual immersion in January!
Can you believe it!
Can you believe it! 18 more students graduating by January 11! It’s hard to believe this seed of an idea back in 2013 manifested in this way.

I get asked quite often how I got into teaching Sound Healing. Frankly, it was because I didn’t trust my energy (or my ears for that matter!) with other practitioners. 😩
AND! at a certain point in my career I realized, no matter how much I believed in the power of this work and my ability to do it… I was not the right voice in all communities to translate this powerful tool for transformation, and in making it more accessible… I needed to pass on the knowledge.
I launched the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program late 2019 and am constantly humbled and inspired by the men and women who have gone through my program. To witness their journey and see how they translate the teachings in their own lives and in facilitating for the communities they are passionate about serving is more than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you all for following along on this journey for all of these years.
Each free :::SoundOn::: Community sound bath is also a fundraiser to create job opportunities for alumni. This fundraising capital goes towards paying alumni practitioners accepted proposal for sound healing community services.
As we dive deeper into the holiday season where stress is known to build, check the link in bio or SoundEmbrace.com/calendar to sign up for these FREE virtual sound baths and/or to donate. Our first goal is $10k and to launch choose the proposal process in January!
When gratitude practices were bull$hit!
I remember when I first heard about gratitude practices and thought it was a bull$hit way to bypass your true feelings.
While there are people who do use this practice as a mask to not face what is truly there, I have found it a powerful way to shift the lens I am looking through to see if there are new ways of understanding myself and others.
I don’t remember when the switch happened in my head but its now just a natural part of my evening practice I do at night as I am going to sleep.
I simply say to myself “I am grateful for_____” and the blanks begin to populate.
It’s whoever, and whatever comes to mind.
I don’t judge it or myself.
And I have noticed over time that even in the the most challenging, brutal moments of life, I am still able to see and feel the good.
Do you have a gratitude practice?
What does it look like?
In this moment, what are you grateful for?

Just a note...
The nights are getting longer and we are full steam ahead for the Holidays! How do you do the Holidays?
Do you split the household between parents?
Are you a "Friendsgiving" turkey crasher like I am?
Have you already shopped your heart out for the best gift ever?
Or do you operate last minute? ...Maybe you're not into it all?
Ooof! Whatever the case and/or preference, it's an interesting time of year filled with many emotions. As we all begin to dive into these shifting energies, remember to take moments of pause. Connecting back to Self is key so you don't get swept up (or under) the current.
Check out the link in bio for the SoundEmbrace Membership. 2min, 10min, and 30min sessions are there when you need it.
The Love + Service Entrepreneur
The Love + Service Entrepreneur
This post is for you if what you do or what you are wanting to do, is fueled by love + service.
I get a lot of “soon to be” or “desire to be” entrepreneurs asking me how to start in a wellness and energy business.
Most of you have a "regular" job desiring to do meaningful work using sound as a tool for transformation and wondering:
“Who is going to take me seriously?”
“How can I make a living out of this!?”
“What should I charge?”
“Where do I even begin!?”
If this sounds familiar, then the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program may be a good fit for you!
The program is broken down into 4 levels so you have the option to join in Level 1 without obligation to complete a full certification. Its the perfect option to get experience that will send you on your way to facilitating for yourself and friends, while getting a glimpse if it is the right career choice for you.
Between the pre recorded classes, live zoom calls, and community support, you will leave with resources, inspiration, and feeling of groundedness within your passion of aligning with love + serve.

I am about to tell on myself
I am about to tell on myself.
I've scheduled a sound bath at this beautiful yoga studio in Long Beach (CA) for Sunday, Nov 14th. The intention is to provide an apprenticeship opportunity for my students out there to gain some in-valuable in person experience facilitating with me.
The challenge? I have a small community of people there. The studio is taking a chance on me. And I am taking a chance to create this opportunity for my students in hopes I can do this again for future students.
Would you mind helping me out by sharing this session with your friends in LA, Long Beach and surrounding areas? My goal is a minimum of 10 people. Although the space can max out (distanced) for 30.
There is a link in my bio for more information or you can check out the calendar on my website SoundEmbrace.com/Calendar .
Thank you a head of time! It would mean so much to me to be able to this for my students and add more value to the program.

Quote by Doren Antrim
It has been found that musical vibrations make their impact upon the entire body, being picked up by the nerves, spinal column, and even by the bones. This is why people who are deaf can react to music. It has also been demonstrated that music affects the pulse, respiration, and blood pressure; but it’s deepest effects, and those from which most of it’s curative properties are derived, are mental and emotional.

Beginning Monday Nov 1, we begin the very first of a series
Beginning Monday Nov 1 (that’s tomorrow!) we begin the very first of a series called First Monday Sound.
I hear from many of you that anxiety is running at an all-time high. Some of you are feeling lost, passionless, and unmotivated. You’re feeling disconnected and are unsure what to do next.
I hear you! The last couple of years have slingshot many of you into a space of unfamiliarity… and that can be scary.
Every first Monday of the month I will go live on Zoom at 12 pm EST to take you through a sound healing and Metaphysical practice to support you in:
1. Finding your center and reducing anxiety.
2. Uncover and overcome limiting beliefs holding you back.
3. Begin the healing process.
4. Rediscover passion and motivation in your life.
5. Connect back to Self and community.
6. Give direction and ground your energy for the month ahead.
Can’t meet live? No problem. The replay will be available for the month we are in for you to go back to whenever you need. First Monday Sound is for members of the SoundEmbrace Monthly Membership. So you not only get this live session, you also get access to 2min, 10min, and 30min sound healing tracks, as well as sound healing videos to carry you through the month.
ONLY $22 a month/end whenever you would like!
Will we see you tomorrow?
