Hello! I'm Willow,
and I'm not just a passionate traveler, artist, immersive sound experience producer, and a dedicated sound healing practitioner passionate about helping creatives to reclaim their inner artist. Over the past 10 years, I've embarked on a transformative journey across the globe, driven by my love for music and psychology. Along the way, I've explored the intricacies of the human psyche, immersing myself in the rich tapestry of shamanic practices, ceremonies, and wisdom shared by the tribes and elders I've encountered.
My exposure to a diversity of cultures has deepened my understanding of the profound connection between sound and healing. These experiences have become the foundation of my work, infusing my sound healing sessions with a depth of wisdom and authenticity that resonates with those seeking profound transformation.
With my expertise in music production, acoustics, herbology, and psychology, I craft unique sound baths. My sessions seamlessly blend electronic music production with ancestral instruments, offering a holistic mind-body-spirit experience. This synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern techniques creates a sacred space for deep introspection, rest, and restoration. I am also honored to guide individuals in awakening their inner artist and reclaiming their true expression through my online course.
Join me in this transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery.
My story.
I have always had a busy mind. Since my childhood true relaxation or the ability to disconnect from the internal chaos have been a foreign practice. I was under the impression that my sleep was good, mainly because I was sleeping lots of hours a night, but somehow waking up still tired. At the time I just thought that my body was exhausted from the busy life I had, that I needed more sleep; constantly looking for this place where I could just rest and recover.
The tiredness contributed to my body’s inability to cope with the world. My immune system was weak which resulted in constant infections, flus and brain fog. Doctors’ appointment became frequent where the prescribed medicine heavily damaged my gut. All this brought up allergies and barriers that prevented me from experiencing life in its brightest colours.
I have been intrigued by eastern teachings since I was a child. I remember trying to meditate when I was 12 years old. Lying in my bed like a plank of wood, concentrating hard to stop my thoughts. It obviously didn’t work, but only frustrated me and brought more questions about the nature of one’s mind.
I then decided to pursue psychology at school and delve deeper into the mysteries of our psyche. It for sure give me a valuable foundation of understanding how and why I could not find a way to rest and recover, however the knowledge is useless when you don’t know how to apply it. I could understand why but still not find a way to how.
All this chaos and internal need for more brought me to leave. I then left to travel. Throughout those years I strengthen my relationship with people from all over the world. I understood that our psychological and genetic tendencies are strongly influenced by our culture and life circumstances. Those experiences provided me with a unique outlook on the human struggle.
During those years I had the opportunity to be re-introduced to sound in a rare way. Spending time in ceremony and having sounds introduced one by one were used to guide us into rhythm; instead of distracting from feeling, guiding into the root of feeling. Simple strokes on the medicine drum were able to make my mind stop the chatter and just experience. No talking, just feeling. My mind still and calm. Entering the deserts of my stories. Unbothered. There, but not attacking. Available but not confronting.
Sound became a gateway into meditation and purification of my mind. This is when I discovered singing bowls. The power of sound at it’s best. The frequencies transported me into parts of my brain I could not locate. A dream like state I like to call it. I immediately fell in love with them. After experiencing it myself, I decided to deepen my practice.
I was lucky to meet an amazing teacher. He brought me into the world of singing bowls and their application straight on the body. I followed a detailed course and got my first set of bronze bowls. For a couple years I used them only on my self and close friends. The more I used them, the more I knew I needed to share their beauty and make it my main practice. All my bowls are sourced from the school in India.
Today, thanks to those experiences, all that knowledge and all the diagnoses I received from doctors; I know that rest is not just about sleep. Rest is about tuning down the chaos in our mind. This practice is not only important for our mental health but also for our physical health. When our minds are too busy and stay too long in trauma or better knows as “fight or flight“ mode our physical bodies do not have the opportunity to repair and heal. Lack of rest is responsible for most of our daily challenged and can be a cause of stress, depression, minor and major illnesses and conditions.
Using nature as building blocks I managed to strengthen my body. My passion for herbology give me answers and a structure to care better for myself. Giving your body what it needs to be strong on its own. Preventions is the best key to a balanced health. Being conscious of the steps that need to be taken and developing a discipline to be committed to your wellbeing is the most important component.
