What are you ready to receive?
Vocal improvisation as channel for transformation
training, Karnataka, India
27/10/2025
Letting the voice flow can be playful.
No rules. No judgment.
Just sound moving through, clearing and opening space.
For many of us, expression got held back for years.
Creativity got quiet.
Presence got small.
Opening that channel again is freedom.
It is release.
It is a sacred creativity ritual of coming home to ourselves.

A glimpse of my voice awakening workshop at training
22/10/2025
Singing is like speaking, allowing the voice to flow — without shame, without judgment.
The throat is one of the most repressed energy centers in our bodies. Some have been told to silence their voice, at home, at school, at work: don’t cry, don’t be loud, you’re too much… Some have been told they’re not good singers and should keep quiet, as if expression needed permission.
But when we free the voice,
We reclaim our authenticity, our unique imprint.
This is not about singing “well.” It’s about singing free.
It’s about remembering that your voice matters and is so needed in this world.
Because in a planet led too often by voices disconnected from humanness, we need more people who dare to speak — and sing — from love and truth.
So try this: let words flow as sound. Sing what you feel, how your day was, what you dream. Let your voice become medicine and alchemy.

Chilling in the ice daily at the training.
This past year I’ve focused almost my whole inner work on nervous system regulation. As someone who suffered (and still face) chronic stress and anxiety, I’ve realised that no amount of therapy, shadow work, plant medicines can really land if my nervous system is overloaded, overwhelmed, unsafe.
If the body and nerves cannot rest and regulate, the landscape of healing stays cluttered.
Relaxation. Spaciousness. Safety.
They’re the ground from which transformation and healing happen.
The ice baths teach the nervous system differently:
• Cold immersion stimulates the parasympathetic tone — our “rest & digest”
• It triggers neurotransmitters like norepinephrine — sharpened focus, energy, but also resilience.
• It improves blood circulation and sleep quality
• It throws a micro‑stress to the system so the system learns: I can handle this. I am safe. I can expand.
And of course, I’ve used my voice as my main tool to soothe into the discomfort, sparking my inner fire and bringing joy to the process. And with the help of a on the nose to expand my breath capacity.
Ice baths are about building a foundation of resilience safety — in my body, in my system — so that the next layer of work (therapy, creativity, growth, connection) has a place to land.

So happy to be here in Goa, India, as part of the team of The Breathwork Teacher Training by
Goa is the first place where I started to share my workshops … and it feels like a massive upgrade to come back here many years after — this time, as part of the TTC team ✨
Holding space for 30 beautiful participants
ready to learn how to facilitate breathwork —
to step into service,
to hold space for themselves and the world 🌍
I’ll be offering workshops about the voice, plant wisdom, and shamanism - and I can’t wait!
This is what matters now —
we are not in the guru era anymore.
We are in the era of collectively sharing —
passing on wisdom and tools
for those who feel the call to serve to feel empowered to share their unique gifts and genius.
With proper, grounded training, deep inner-work, and strong facilitation skills.
We start this Sunday — for one whole month.
Stay tuned for the journey 🌬️
Immensely grateful to Mike and the family
for the invitation and the trust.
Looking forward to co-creating magic together 🤍

One more cycle around the sun. Last year on my 33rd birthday, I received from my loved ones the most beautiful rebirth celebration. Little did I know that right after pushing the rebirth door comes death again. And guess the eternal joke: I called for it, was feeling it coming all this time and flew exactly where the prophecy would realise itself. Yet, I still played the game of being surprised. That’s what we constantly do as humans, trick ourselves all along into forgetfulness to remember our knowingness deeper again. Death came in the form of spirits dragging me to the underworld in the Brazilian jungle - me desperately praying them to stay on Earth a bit longer - karmic relational orchestrations shattering me to my feet, disrespect and betrayal from my closest people - reflections of where I allowed my own self-betrayal - gigantic void, no more external safety, nowhere else to go than within. This time, death walked hand in hand with the most powerful - yet almost invisible to the naked eye - rebirth. Body rebirth, collapsed denial, soul pieces brought back, voice shared to the world, awakening to truth, to the beast of rage that lives inside me, to my sweetest-all-encompassing heart, to my unbreakable strength. Movement as medicine. Praying and offering to the Gods like never before. Deepening purpose and service. The most beautiful opportunities showed up, invitations, messengers of love… It showed me that what is lost is only sacrificed. To something way bigger than ourselves. That we have to be willing to sacrifice what’s the most precious to us to accomplish what we came to do. Realising your mission is the contract between You and Life. The agreement you’ve made on your first breath when you entered this borrowed body. Not respecting the agreement - delaying, grasping, procrastinating, attaching to what needs to be freed - can only lead to suffering. This is definitely the Year of the Snake. Shedding tight skin in a dark shelter to get stronger. So ready for more creation, more love, more service, more friendships, more simplicity of living and being. Another cycle on this crazy ride that life is. Knowing less each day, yet more than ever.

One of the topics I am passionate to share about during our plant dietas is guardianship. Guardianship means meeting our guides and protectors and learning to journey with them. In this dieta, Rosemary herself will become one of those guardians — a protector, a teacher, a spirit we can walk with.
During the shamanic journeys to meet her, some of us will literally see in forms the spirit of Rosemary. Others may hear her voice, feel sensations in the body, notice scents, or receive subtle messages and knowingness. The way she comes through is unique for each of us.
🌿 Why guardianship matters
We live in a world that has mostly become increasingly individualistic, isolated, and solitary. Many of us feel the heavy responsibility of making every choice alone, sometimes desperate and confused about which path to take. Guardians remind us that we are not alone. They help us remember the deep knowing already within us.
Through signs and synchronicities, they share guidance: an animal crossing your path, a feather on the ground, an encounter with the very plant you are working with. These are moments of dialogue with the invisible, a reminder that life is always speaking to us if we listen.
In the Occident, we have mostly been trained to rely only on the mind and logic. Consumer society keeps us cut off from intuition, because a person who listens to their deep guidance cannot be easily led. Reconnecting to our guardians means reconnecting to intuition, trust, and flow. It is remembering that we are resourceful, supported, and guided.
🌿 Rosemary Dieta, Home Dieta 🌿
✨ Starting September 10th – 4 weeks, every Wednesday ✨
During this dieta, Rosemary will be one of those guides. Together, we will journey into the mystery, into trust, into the sacred bond with our protectors. I cannot wait for you to meet her.

Remembering the power of community, of singing as one, of belonging to a chosen family. So much separation, division, fights and wars in this world, coming from that forgetfulness, that we belong. We belong to this Earth, to this land, that is everyone’s and no one’s; we belong to the immense, diverse, rich, and beautiful human family, that has no race, no color, no religion.
Thank you to all the artists spreading prayers of faith and peace, in the trust that one day they will be heard, and lived for all living beings.
Thank you for your endless generosity, naturalness and humbleness
@ for the mesmerising organic sounds
And for opening your space and caring for the extended family

I am a sound therapist, composer, breathwork facilitator and shamanic practitioner.
After years working in an office, I found this environment was too restricted for the tons of things I wanted to do, learn, see, feel… I quit my job, my apartment and went to travel Asia. On the road, from country to country, I found myself.
Since my young age I was always fascinated by sound and explore it as a cathartic channel. During my journey, I notice how sound has a primordial role in the connection to the spiritual world, like a door that leads to deeper levels of consciousness. I meet spiritual masters who teach me how to use sound as a way to heal and repattern our system at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I learn from them sacred music instruments and chant techniques: gongs, Tibetan bowls, therapeutic tuning forks, mantras, overtone singing… I was trained by many teachers including the great Gong Master Baba Don Conreaux and the therapeutic tuning forks pioneer Dr. John Beaulieu.
I apply in my work scientific and spiritual ways to work with energy and vibration as well as ancestral knowledge from the shamanic tradition, working with the spirit world, using sonic driving (drumming, rattles) and occasionally plant medicine.
Recently, I was initiated to shamanic breathwork (breathwave style) and found in breath a guide to land in the present moment with awareness.
Je suis sonothérapeute, compositrice, breathwork facilitatrice et practienne chamanique.
Après des années à travailler dans un bureau, j’en suis venue à la conclusion que cet environnement était trop restrictif pour la vision étendue que j’avais du monde et ce que je voulais faire, apprendre, voir, sentir... J’ai quitté mon travail, mon appartement et me suis envolée pour l’Asie. Au cours de mon aventure, de pays en pays, je me suis trouvée moi-même.
Depuis mon plus jeune âge, j’ai toujours été fascinée par le son et l’ai expérimenté comme une catharsis. Durant mon voyage, j’ai pu remarquer que le son a un rôle primordial dans la connexion au monde spirituel, comme un portail qui mène à des niveaux plus profonds de conscience. J’ai rencontré des maîtres spirituels qui m’ont enseigné le soin par le son afin de reprogrammer tout notre système à un niveau physique, émotionnel, mental et spirituel. J’ai été initiée aux instruments de musique et techniques de chant sacrés : gongs, bols tibétains, diapasons thérapeutiques, chant overtonique... J’ai appris de plusieurs maîtres tels que le grand gong master Baba Don Conreaux et le pionnier en diapasons thérapeutiques Dr. John Beaulieu.
J’applique dans mon travail des méthodes scientifiques et pratiques spirituelles pour travailler avec l’énergie et la vibration ainsi que du savoir ancestral issu de la tradition chamanique. Je travaille avec le monde des esprits en utilisant la guidance par le son (tambours, maracas) et occasionnellement les plantes médicinales.
Récemment, j’ai été initiée au breathwork chamanique (breathwave) et j’ai trouvé dans la respiration un guide pour revenir au moment présent avec conscience.
