Welcome…

My name is Paula, and my aim is to support you in deeper relaxation, better sleep and to share tools for self regulating tensions and managing anxiety for better coping skills with the stresses of modern life.

My love of nature, and the tranquility it offers has been a well I return to time and time again, to find balance and grounding in my life.

The sounds of nature always so soothing and timeless, have inspired me to learn a skill set, and keep studying to facilitate a tranquil environment where clients can restore, be nurtured and feel replenished even indoors in an Urban environment.

I’ve explored many modalities, studied with ground breaking teachers and musicians who are elevating, and expanding on historic modalities in sound, breath work, vocalizing, yoga, meditation and Sufi whirling. 

These studies, and my desire to facilitate tranquility are what inspire me to create soundscapes for meditation, relaxation and daydreaming.
