“Can I give you a bit of advice” - is a sentence I often love to hear. 🙌🏼

When you hear this question, what is your instant emotion? I feel my ears open, I feel myself prime to take something onboard, ready to learn, even a bit of excitement mixed in there too.

When we hear this line it’s easy to think “oh here we go”, or “go on then” 🙄 which is coming from a fixed mindset. An open mindset is ready to receive, to learn, to grow, to implement.

Thanks to .healing for the gems. You know how I know when people are real about what they do? It is when they want to see other people shining too.

The E Low Pygmy has quickly become my favourite scale. It translates so well at sound baths and also my online sessions.

There is a depth to it that invites a true grounding. For me it feels like something ancestral. The warmth, a feeling I’ve known through many lifetimes.

Very grateful to the makers of instruments that allow the players to live in alignment, and through that bring the listeners into more alignment too.

I’ve been working on this for a long time now, and this month it’s finally landing.

The 7-Day Recode is for you if you’ve been feeling the need to slow down, reset, and come back to yourself… but haven’t quite known how to do it.

This isn’t just something I’ve thrown together. A lot has gone into this behind the scenes.

Every piece of music has been produced by me.
Every word has been carefully written with intention to help reprogram the subconscious and settle your nervous system.

I’ve made it to be simple, powerful, and easy to actually drop into your life.

7 days.
Guided sound sessions.
A real chance to reset.

If you’ve been thinking about needing a reset for a while, take that as your sign.

Get yourself on the waitlist.

Sol loves anything sound related. He is curious about all of it. Not just the sound something makes, but how it works. He is always turning things over, looking at the top and the bottom, figuring out what happens when he taps here or hits there.

That is why having a little mini tongue drum like this is such a beautiful thing. He gets to explore, play, and make sound in his own way without me worrying every time he goes full power on my bigger handpans or singing bowls.

As he is getting bigger, he is definitely hitting harder too, so this feels like a very good idea all round. A little instrument for little hands, and a lot more peace of mind for me.

Thank you for creating instruments that can meet that curiosity so early. 🙏🏼✨

Starting with solo sessions in my living room of my old apartment with my cousin Leah and my good friend Maureen, that was the testing ground.

For at least my first five sound baths, I could feel my heart beating through my chest the moment I started playing the bowls. I felt the nerves. I felt the weight of holding space for people. I cared deeply and I wanted to give people something real.

Back then, I was stepping into it.

Now, it feels like second nature. I walk into a room with alignment, calm, and grounded authority, knowing exactly what I’m there to deliver.

From my living room, to my first ever session at Space at the Mill, to Manchester Cathedral, so much has changed.

What started in a small room with 1 person has grown into holding space for hundreds in a session.

A reminder that most things do not begin polished. They begin with the courage to start before you feel fully ready.

So whatever idea has been sitting on your heart, this is your reminder.

Start that thing today.

If you’d like to join me at an upcoming Life Is Sound session, the next dates are live via the link in my bio.

There is always a moment I come back to the drum. Our truest nature. The heartbeat. Our first teacher of rhythm and sound.

Last week at one of our Helios sound baths, I spoke with a lovely lady who had discovered Life Is Sound through our online sessions. She had travelled to Manchester to experience a session in person, and after the session she came over to say hello.

She told me she had joined one of our virtual sessions before, and now that she had experienced Life Is Sound in person, she wanted to let me know just how well the session translated online.

That feedback means a lot to me.

The online sessions are technical to create and hold well, so to know they are truly landing, and truly being felt, really warms my heart.

Our next online session is Thursday 9th April at 8PM GMT.

If you’d like to join us, comment “Virtual” below and I’ll send you the invite to book your place.
