Lotus Sound Bath is a conduit for healing
To connect and allow others to feel comfortable and safe. Nurture through the gift of music, harmony, and sound. Understand the nature of daily life as 'practice' and sharing that with others. Foster health and well-being through mindfulness and balancing mind, body and spirit.
When you feel good, you do good…
I have this gift to share, the energy of love, accepting oneself, and sharing the joy of being present with others. Health, well-being, and kindness are key to a strong foundation.
