Yoga has been my love and practice since 2002.  Now retired from teaching movement and meditation, I am keenly interested in how vibration impacts both our physical and energetic bodies in a way that can be healing.  I use the sound bath as a way to relax and release our bodies from holding on to that which no longer serves us.  As in yoga, this process is one of connection, surrender, and wholeness.  There is much more to be learned about vibration and healing.

Tryshe Dhevney introduced me to Crystal Tones Alchemy singing bowls in 2015.  I love the meditative approach that the bowls bring, and the fluidness in which they are played.  These spectacular bowls are 99% pure quartz crystal, with the other 1% being added gem stones or crystals.  It is my experience that the crystals add a level of intelligence that targets ways we are engaged with life in an unhealthy manner, inviting us to trust and let go.

My approach to the bowls as a healing modality is one of tenderness and grace.  The vibration of the bowls is quite powerful and I prefer to gently encourage change and untangling of tension in our bodies with sound.  When we relax, we entrain with the sound of the bowls and melt in the alpha-theta brain wave state.  In this relaxed and aware place we instinctively release tension and unhealthy ways of holding on to our problems and fears.  My hope is that the sound bath participants minimally leave relaxed, refreshed, and renewed.

Formerly from Portland, OR where I was a co-founder and owner of Unfold Yoga and Meditation, I have been enjoying life on Bainbridge Island since 2018.  We are fortunate to have my mother living with us, and a son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids living next door.  When not in the flow of family, I enjoy riding my e-bike around the island, getting my kayak out on the sound with friends, and walking the beach with my pup.  Life is very good!
