I create and provide IMMERSIVE SOUND EXPERIENCES using various instruments including Crystal Singing Bowls, Ocean drum, Native American flute, tuning forks and chimes.

GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL SOUND HEALING lowers stress, improves sleep, lowers blood pressure, cortisol levels, anxiety and depression and improves clarity and focus.

I have a Music Therapy degree with years of training and experience and an understanding about how music and sound affect us on all levels. There is scientific research backing the benefits of using sound for better health and well being. Using the concepts of sympathetic resonance and entrainment, the frequencies of the instruments I use will guide you to a meditative state where healing can take place.

Sound and vibration calms the nervous system by shifting brain wave states. It has similar benefits to massage or meditation. Relax comfortably as the sounds wash over your body. The vibrations are felt and move your body into a state of coherence. The sound frequencies induce a deeply restorative state in the brain, activating the body’s self-healing system.

Expressive Arts Therapy is the practice of using music, imagery, storytelling, dance, drama, writing, movement, and visual arts to foster human growth, development, and healing.

A lifelong musician, artist, writer and creator with an interest in healing modalities and spirituality, I use my gifts, talents, knowledge and experience to offer opportunities for insight, stress relief and healing to others.

The first time I heard and played an Ocean Drum back in 1996, I was smitten. Then a couple years later there was this new thing at a Music Therapy Conference called a Crystal Singing Bowl. It was the coolest thing I’d ever heard and I wanted every person who passed by to hear it. Now, over 20 years later, I get to share that love with others offering Immersive Sound Journeys using my favorite instruments for health and wellness.

I earned my Music Therapy degree and certification as a single mom of a beautiful 8 year old daughter in 1999. Soon after I earned NYS certification to teach Music K-12. I provided Music Therapy and taught music in a public school for 5 years, then ran a business offering services to a local preschool while also giving Private Piano and Guitar lessons. I left the preschool when my son was born in 2006 and continued to offer music lessons. I discovered passions for photography and jewelry making. I became a Wilton Certified Cake Decorating teacher and ran a business offering cake decorating lessons for a few years. Around that time I discovered Stand Up Paddleboarding.

I first tried SUP here in Mattituck in the summer of 2013. Since then I’ve explored every creek in the Peconic Bay from Orient to Riverhead, Flanders to Springs. My goal is to explore every waterway on Long Island! I paddle every chance I get no matter the season, knowing it will improve my strength, balance, and sense of well being.

I chose to become a flatwater certified instructor in 2021.

My certification and training in Sound therapy include Arthur Hull Drum Circle Facilitator certification 2018, John Beaulieu tuning fork weekend workshop 2019, Sage Academy of Sound Crystal Bowl certification weekend workshop 2023, and Sound Healing Academy Level one certification 2024. I continue to learn and grow as a facilitator, offering Sound Journeys monthly at Thrive East End since 2022, as well as offering at the Mattituck Laurel Library and Holy Trinity Church in Greenport, NY.

I’m a “multi-passionate creative”. When I’m not out on the water, you can find me writing, reading, researching, or learning something new. I might be singing and playing piano, guitar, ukulele or dulcimer, or perhaps my singing bowls and tuning forks. I might be practicing flute for the Riverhead “Monday Night Band”. I also enjoy taking photos of the beauty that surrounds me. I could also be creating something like a cake, floral arrangement or painting – I love creating Fluid Art paintings! *Check out the ART tab to learn more!* In addition to Stand Up Paddleboarding, I also love practicing yoga and biking!
