Hello, Jamie here!
I’m a lover of forests, seashells, Red Wood trees, deep conversations & starry nights. I’m a vocalist and sound healer guiding sound baths, vocal toning & chanting workshops and Yoga Nidra in Portland, Oregon. I’m also a sound bath recording artist for Apple Music’s meditation app <3
Through years of studying, practicing and performing music in various cities, I’ve developed an intuitive approach to guide others through restorative sound healing journeys and meditations. Drawn to the stillness and beauty of the natural world, I get most of my inspiration and wisdom from the forest, and I channel that essence into my practice. There is a world of intuition within us, that we can tap into when we slow down, and soften into stillness.
Pursuing a music career in NYC in my twenties, I discovered the Shambhala Center, where I first accessed the power of mindfulness meditation. I channeled this spiritual experience into my music sessions, songs and collaborations. A move to LA shifted my musical focus and study to therapeutic sound baths, combining crystal singing bowls and ethereal hymns. At this time I also fell in love with the practice of Yoga Nidra, and studied under Jennifer Reis. Through the use of vibrational sound and these transformative meditation techniques I began guiding others. To deepen my 16 years of practice, I completed a 200-Hour Intensive Training at Samyama Mindfulness Center, further exploring all eight limbs of Yoga.
The cosmic pairing of Yoga Nidra and Sound Therapy has been an expanding ritual in my personal life, as a way to regulate emotional, mental and physical discomfort. At the heart of my offerings is a deep desire to share tools that help me rest deeply and cultivate compassion for all living beings.
