Sound for the Soul
Intentional sonic journeys designed to support a greater awareness of the Self through deep listening and inner exploration.
Follow the sound…
In sound meditations we learn how to listen, creating space between the frequency of thoughts and judgments of the mind.
We follow the sound and let go of the analytical mind, calming the nervous system to access a state of equanimity, expanded awareness and deep presence within.
This process will take you beyond intellect to connect to purely intuitive knowledge of the heart.
Music is medicine.
The Sound Meditation
The sound meditation is an integrated practice that combines western scientific, eastern philosophical and shamanic cultural influences to craft an immersive sonic journey that is incredibly therapeutic, introspective and rehabilitative.
Specific musical instruments played during the meditation allow participants to use sound as a therapeutic tool to delve into a transcendental state.
The multi-sensory journey combines a number of modalities including guided visualization, breath-work, vocalization, curated music and live instrumentation, using a collection of various overtone-rich emitting instruments including: the gong, Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, handpan and more.
The rich overtones of these ancient instruments impact the brainwave cycles, neurochemistry, autonomic nervous system, heart-rate variability, and subtle energy in the body. Allowing the receiver to come into the parasympathetic - rest, digest and restorative state.

There are truly not enough words to express the gratitude I have for Michelle and Greg and the positive shift I have seen in my life. I was fearful going into ceremony, and I do feel the fears even to this day after doing so many. I am able to identify the fear being the lack of control, the unknown, and the unexpected of what will happen and come up. Michelle will always remind me before ceremony that your subconscious will only bring forward what it knows you can handle, as well as what needs to be addressed. I have dealt with a lot of anxiety, OCD, and negative self-talk throughout my life. After sitting with Michelle and Greg, the biggest fear that has been addressed is that of dying. I am a mother of two young children and when I became a mom I felt a substantial shift in the value of my life. I lost my dad from a very aggressive form of cancer when I was 22 years old, and since becoming a mother I have always been looking over my shoulder for what will take me away from them as my dad was taken from me. I have been able to address this fear each time I sit in ceremony, whether it be from understanding that we are all connected in this beautiful web of spirits or, simply put, experiencing my own death and watching my husband and two children survive and thrive with the memory of me and the soul of me still living, flourishing, and guiding them.
Throughout ceremony, Michelle is beautifully positioned at her altar as this unbelievable guiding light who is the most angelic, strong, goddess of a being you could ever imagine. To call what she does a talent or skill seems almost to undermine it all. What Michelle does during ceremony is in her DNA and wired through her as a form of magic and a true gift that she was born with. It does not seem to be a skill that she has to practice, but it is naturally flowing out of her as she plays each instrument with grace and sincerity. She was truly put on this earth to spread and pour her love outward to others. I am forever indebted to Michelle and Greg for holding such a safe, nurturing, and comfortable space each time I have sat with them. I will continue to practice my sense of presence and wholeness as well as sharing this with others. I look forward to sitting in ceremony with Michelle and Greg again and again.
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
