ABOUT ME

​

I am a Sound Healing therapist, and Yoga Nidra facilitator. Originally a drummer hailing from New York City, with roots in Brittany (France), I now live in the beautiful countryside of Ireland. 

 

A musician by passion, then trade, I have lived and breathed instruments and percussions virtually all my life, and professionally for half of it.  As a musician, I have incorporated instruments associated with “sound healing”, such as gongs, bowls, frame drums, bells, shakers, chimes, etc. into my playing.  Most notably for jazz and singer-songwriter music. Sometimes I used them almost exclusively, such as for my more “avant-garde” exploratory performances. 

​

After years of performing and recording as an artist, it became evident to me that my passion for and skills in music and sounds would naturally and effortlessly combine with my appreciation and practice of yoga and meditation, and lead me to also perform for deep relaxation and wellness purposes as well as for spiritual development. I immersed myself in my own research, study, and practice of the healing power of sounds. 

​

Likewise, processing then surpassing emotional abuse, grief, and trauma are not just mere words and conceptualizing to me. That is my experience of many years.  My story.  My journey. It shapes the "pay it forward" mission of care I am lead to pursue. Fortunate to still be alive today, my sound healing practice is experience-based, care-driven, and my life purpose.     

​

Sound baths, and musical recordings of mine or from musicians I partnered with are available on this website, to listen to or purchase.  I am available for private, semi-private, or group sound healing sessions and sound baths, with or without meditation. Please inquire for more information and details.

​

I studied Integral Sound Healing with the Sound Healing Academy, Integrative Restoration meditation with Richard C. Miller, suffering and grief healing with the Grief Recovery Institute, drums with Joe Cusatis (Chet Baker, Marian McPartland), Elvin Jones (John Coltrane), Joe Morello (Dave Brubeck), and Barry Altschul (Chick Corea), percussions with worldwide musicians, and music theory and vocals with soprano Patrizia Cioffi (Italian International Orchestra, Bratislava Chamber Choir, Pavel Prochazka).

 

Be healed.  Be well.  Be blessed.
