Philosophy:
The didgeridoo, also known to the Aboriginal people of Australia as the yidaki, is one of the world’s oldest instruments, used to channel the sound vibrations of the Earth, nature, and the cosmos. I deeply believe the application of these sacred sounds and vibrations can open us up for alignment to life force flow. Time and time again, I have experienced the positive effects that sound healing brings. My path is to share the medicine of sound with you so that you can apply it to your own path of personal development. Restoring ourselves enables us to bring greater love and light into all we do, and to realize our highest potential. As the great sage, Mohandas Gandhi taught, “Be the change that you want to see in the world”.
