If you had told me 7 years ago that I would become a Certified Sound Healer, I probably would’ve laughed.
I’ve always felt deeply connected, but as a young mom with a full plate, I never gave myself permission to explore that side of me.
I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder in high school after suffering from panic attacks. I wish someone had told me then about the mind-body connection.. about how repressed emotions can manifest as physical symptoms.
In 2018, seemingly out of nowhere, I began experiencing health issues. I started breaking out in full-body hives every day and even landed in the ER when my throat began to close during a severe episode. I was diagnosed with chronic urticaria… “no known cause,” “no cure” they said.. and told it usually lasts 3–5 years. I was prescribed two daily medications just to keep the hives at bay.
But something inside me said, this can’t be the whole story.
After long talks with a trusted friend and learning more about the mind-body connection, it all started to click. I had been living in fight-or-flight for years. Stress and anxiety had become my normal.
I made the decision to truly care for my mental health. I committed to meditation (and let me tell you, meditation is hard!) But I didn’t give up. I transformed our sunroom into my sacred space, which I called the “Zen Den,” and filled it with things that felt serene. I ordered a small Tibetan singing bowl as a decoration. When it arrived, I learned how to play it — and I was amazed.
The sound transported me deeper into meditation than I’d ever gone before. I felt peace. I felt stillness. And for the first time in a long time, I felt hope.
That little singing bowl became my gateway. I needed more. I wanted everyone around me to feel what I was feeling.
Long story short: I healed my chronic hives, and my heart lit up with a calling to sound healing. It felt like home.
I’ve come to understand that most of the answers we’re seeking are already inside of us. But we’ve been taught to look outward…to trust experts, pills, and quick fixes before we trust our own intuition. My healing began when I started listening inward.
Sound healing may not be for everyone and that’s okay. It’s just one of hundreds of ways to access mindfulness, healing, and the magic within. But for me, it was my golden ticket. It ignited a fire inside me I didn’t know existed.
What started as a personal journey has become my purpose. Sharing sound healing with others has brought more joy, peace, and meaning into my life than I ever imagined.
Sometimes we don’t choose the journey… the journey chooses us. 🎶
