Throwing back to last month and a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🏝️🌊

It was still a work thing as I taught two trainings and a couple of events, but somehow this trip was also a acknowledgement of the need for a break. An actual rest. Whisper it - a HOLIDAY.

I had to check my phone photos to remember when I last booked an actual holiday, a trip that involved the intention of pause. For more than a few hours. It was November 2019.

After the work commitments, I managed a sort of 4 day holiday on this trip. At one point I laid by a pool in the middle of the day, and read a book. I had a cry that night as I didn’t know what to do with myself after that. Nervous system crashed when it was told to rest - I holidayed in body, but the mind was still fighting.

Sri Lanka was rich in sound 🎶 time spent growing gorgeous new sound facilitators in my Integrated Sound Training; meeting fellow sound practitioners, visiting retreat and training venues, building wellness network and future collaborations. So much to listen to. Different birds. Ocean waves breaking in a more pleasing barrel than I’m used in Goa, a different kind of tone. Less honking on the roads THANK GOD. Different accents and languages. The bread guy playing Claire de Lune every morning.

Sagittarius energy is all about travel and it feels right to reflect on this trip on today’s full moon - in my own moon sign - a completing cycle of journeying, making space to rise into a very different type of travel tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who made SL XL 🔥

I’m using the phrase SOUND HEALERS because algorithm Daddy wants me to.

What I want to say is Sound Facilitators, Practitioners or Artists.

The truth remains though.

Too many folk are out there clattering bowls and especially gongs with no real shape or structure and I’m just going to say it- intelligent thinking.

Intuition is AWESOME and 100% necessary but in my view you need to understand the context first, then build intuitive play that also weaves in an inherent understanding of the tapestry of frequency, flow, and science. Once the actual knowledge is embedded, you can let your creativity and instinct roam safely.

That’s just my opinion.

But I stand by it and I’m not letting anyone out of my trainings without proper depth of knowledge.

What do YOU think? Is sound healing all intuition?

I’m not here to gatekeep the secrets that have allowed me to grow Silence & Noise. I want other people to have them too. So that they too can make their impact as sound facilitators with confidence, belief, direction and purpose.

In my Rocket Yoga training, the late great Larry Schultz was often quoted as talking about the importance of avoiding the word ‘teach.’ Nobody knows anything anyway, we’re all just figuring it out. He used to say - SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE.

I’m happy to share my secrets, my playbooks, scripts, remixes, software tools, themes, every word of signature meditations, my rubbish jokes, how to pitch corporates, scaling your kit up and down, how to get round the luggage conundrum and still deliver a top dollar event and yes my exact protocol of what I do to get from start to finish in all kinds of session.

So I created ⚡️FIELDWORK⚡️ as a space for me to guide you - and for us all to help each other.

It’s an online monthly membership - a SYMPOSIUM (means gathering of experts).

A way to access advanced, professional level sound facilitation coaching and guidance, but at a manageable price point.

This is for you if you’re out there offering soundwork but could vibe with some support:
🎶a place for the niche questions
🤓specific guidance and practical insights from someone who is further along the same road
👭A place to connect, collaborate and learn in community.
📚A place to keep growing and adding to your skills but without committing to travel and trainings that drain your funds.

Check the slides to explore the huge bucket of advanced resources you receive when you identify as a sound healer into connection rather than competition.

✨

FIELDWORK the online library opens on June 1st.
Join before end of May to receive a free sonic course worth £25.
First live workshop 1st July.

I wrote this post yesterday, but then choosing images for it sent me into a spiral of realisation. How much I miss 2015 me. Looking at the pictures, I felt overwhelming sadness for letting that version of me disappear. Starting right now, I need to take my own advice. This is what I wrote that I’d learned. I hope it helps you too.

____

I was diagnosed with a brain tumour 11 years ago today, at 34 years old

Never stops being a weird thing to write.

The potential side effects - aneurysm, pressure on the brain, Ischemic stroke - were as threatening as the concept of a golf ball wedged between my ear and the temporal lobe (the part of the brain that does memory, speech, spatial perception, facial recognition and hearing).

The tumour responded brilliantly to the web of alternative therapies & gamma knife radiosurgery I chose, and although I have some long term issues, basically I got a giant SECOND CHANCE, before one of the those scary side effects kicked in.

So here’s some pictures of bits of life that could easily have disappeared, memories that I am lucky I got to make. If nothing else to remind myself - you only get one life in this skin. In THIS consciousness.

Stuck in cycles of s**t you hate, being with the wrong person or in the wrong place, living a life you don’t love, is not a worthy response to the privilege of being in a time and place where this condition was caught and treated in time.

Being on borrowed time is a reminder that when things are misaligned, you should always JUST CHANGE SOMETHING.

I’ve had a lot of people level commentary about ‘running away’ at me over the years.

Leaving what doesn’t serve you? Especially when you’ve been handed a big reminder that life is short and precious?

It’s not running away.

It’s running TOWARDS your own life. Something chosen not accepted.

Lately, life has been a little tough. Every year this peculiar anniversary lands at just the right moment to give me well-timed slap.

Again, I find myself grateful for the curious journey that started in Whitechapel on May 13th 2015.

The lesson: don’t wait to make the change you know you need.

Completing a sound training is just the very first step to becoming a bona fide practitioner.

Just like driving, you don’t really learn anything until you’re out there in traffic, hitting the occasional lamppost.

Which is why continuing to study, explore and learn AFTER your first training is so key. Mentorship, workshops and advanced/CPD (that’s continuous professional development) courses are the juice that will keep you expanding as a practitioner, moving beyond standardised systems and protocols and and leaning more deeply into the individual sound artist that YOU are.

And then you start to figure out your aptitudes, shape your own style, and explore a new identity as a facilitator. Some instruments you just don’t like fall away from your practice, others grow and evolve with you, and some slam dunk into your kit and pivot your sound in a whole new way.

Over a decade into professional practice I’m still constantly learning, adapting and changing what and how I play. Instruments move in and out of my setup constantly - the vibe slaloms in flow with my own experiences, and also responds to the currents of the collective.

Lately I’ve been picking up the handpan again, after a long hiatus partly due to being turned off by the overexposure the instrument in the wellness world, and mostly due to the fact it spotlights my arthritic left hand in a way that makes me feel old and decrepit!

I’ve had to re-learn a different strike style that doesn’t hurt my tender joints, and it’s been both rewarding and frustrating. But now I’m rather enjoying the dulcet tones and ding once again, and am softly starting to think it’s time to bring the hang back for a bit of a melodic segue.

If you’re also a practitioner curious to explore your next steps in sound work, you’re invited to ELEVATE - a workshop I made to address the question of WHAT NEXT. Check the usual place for info.

Moving instruments around the world isn’t easy, but I’m making it happen to bring this, my most accessibly priced training, home to the UK 🇬🇧

Admittedly with slightly less photogenic skies… this carousel is from the same training a couple of weeks ago in Sri Lanka. Can’t buy that blue 💙

BUT we are going to be in a VERY photogenic, gorgeous new space in luscious Sussex - . Made for sound healers by a sound healer (and all round mega yogi, chef and retreat host so you know it’s gonna be INCREDIBLE) the incomparable . She’s even going to cook for us 🍽️

THE INTEGRATED SOUND HEALER is the portal, the entry point. The doorway for when you want to get out of the blocks, get a feel for the sounds, get your hands on the bowls, and intuit your way into what’s next.

After this, you’re ready to show up in the soundspace, a freshly birthed sound sorcerer/ess. All the gear (you need less than you think you do) and all the ideas, support, insight and skill.

20 accredited hours to get you adding sound to your yoga class, reiki sessions, breathwork offerings, classrooms, kitchens, whatever you’re into.

This is your sonic launchpad.

Limited spots, and this will be the ONLY training I teach in the UK in 2026.

DM for details, info in all the usual places.
