About

My Sounds:

In my sound baths and workshops, I use a 32″ wind gong, crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, an ocean drum, elemental Koshi chimes, and other percussive instruments to create layered soundscapes.

My Mission:

I aim to co-create accessible opportunities for collective healing of ourselves, our communities, and our planet. 

My Offerings:

Sonic Flow Creative Workshops On Martha’s Vineyard

In my “Sonic Flow” workshops, the sound journey is intended to be a catalyst for accessing flow state to inspire creativity in freewriting and artistic practices. “Sonic Flow” combines my passion for transformative sound with my background in writing and creative arts. 

Meditative Sound Baths On Martha’s Vineyard

I use a 32″ wind gong, crystal singing bowls, ocean drum, elemental Koshi chimes, and other percussive instruments to create live soundscapes. I offer standalone sound baths for the public and also offer private small group and individual sonic experiences.

Community Sound Healing Events On Martha’s Vineyard

I have co-facilitated or helped organize grief groups and peer support circles, mindfulness events, ecstatic dances, and other community healing events. I believe community is a critical component of healing, and vulnerability is a strength.

Collaborations:

I am interested in co-facilitating sound baths and combining sound with other healing, educational, creative and ceremonial events.

I have offered my sound baths and workshops at yoga classes, retreats, festivals, academic and spiritual talks, memorial celebrations, fundraisers, etc. I have partnered on events with The 100 Lagoon Pond Floating Gallery, Orange Peel Bakery, Native Earth Teaching Farm, Hot Yoga MV, The Yoga Barn, Slough Farm, MV Preservation Trust, The Red House Peer Support Space/Community Services, Hospice & Palliative Care of Martha’s Vineyard, OB Library, Chilmark Library, Aquinnah Library, Haven Workspace, and many individuals in the healing arts space.

My Background & Experience:

I have a MA in Creative Non-Fiction Writing from City University of London, and a BA in Journalism with a minor in Creative Writing from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. I have ten+ years of professional writing and editorial experience, although I recently transitioned my career into the nonprofit sphere. I currently work as a Development and Communications Associate at Hospice & Palliative Care of Martha’s Vineyard.

I also have training and experience in peer support. I have co-facilitated peer support discussion groups and book clubs, grief workshops, and seasonal celebrations.

I developed an interest in sound healing, particularly with gongs, while living in London and studying for my MA in 2016. Upon moving back to the US I struggled to find sound baths nearby. This inspired me to start playing the gong in 2019. In 2024, I attended an intensive small group gong & percussion training with Mike Tamburo that focused on collaborative composition and improvisation.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, eating, reading, movement, meditation, exploring nature, volunteering, journaling, doodling, and treasure hunting.
