Our associates

Monica has been following sound all of her life. Whether just listening to music, dancing or playing the ukulele it has been a source of joy for her. But it wasn’t until after striking her first singing bowl in December 2019 that she felt a calling. Monica was magnetized to the enveloping sound and she began following the soundwaves like a path. 

Through a series of magical events she acquired more bowls, started practicing on people and began training under sound therapy practitioner/teacher, Lana Ryder, in Lancaster in 2020. Monica eventually completed a private one-on-one 6 month sound practitioner certification course with Lana in March 2022. Lana introduced her to Alexandre Tannous’ teachings which expanded her understanding of sound. In October of 2020, Monica booked a private session with Tannous in New York City to experience his sound meditation first hand, which resulted in an invitation to a 100 hour sound ceremony facilitator training in March of 2021 with Alexandre, David Shamesh and Christiane Karam. Monica continues to expand her knowledge of sound, as it is an unending topic, which enriches her sessions as she incorporates her findings as she learns.
