A session lasts for 90 minutes. It begins with a short guided meditation based on vipassana (breath awareness) techniques, and segues into a half-hour chant segment that is improvised live. After the meditation, I facilitate a concluding conversation with participants to collectively process observations and insights.
I offer sessions both remotely (over Zoom) and in person. Based on feedback from over 100 private sessions, my remote sessions are just as impactful and effective as the in-person ones. While the medium of reception is important, I find that the listener’s capacity and willingness for receptivity is more critical in determining the outcome of the session. I reflect more on this matter here.
Please note that sessions are audio-recorded for documentation purposes.
Q — What is your current availability and pricing for private sessions?
I am currently taking bookings for the last quarter of 2023. To book your session please complete the following steps:
- Send me a message to set a schedule.

For onsite sessions: I will confirm the schedule once we have agreed (verbally or in writing) on your chosen session fee amount. I accept payments after the session is concluded. Please note that there are additional fees for transportation and equipment/venue rental, where applicable.
All 90-minute live sessions are inclusive of a pre-session consult and an .mp3 recording.
Q — What is your policy for cancellations and rescheduling?
- If you wish to reschedule your session, contact me at least 24 hours before your original slot. You are entitled to one (1) reschedule.
- Once the session starts, I will wait for a maximum of 15 minutes only for latecomers.
- The session fee will not be refunded for late cancellations and no-shows.
Q — How do I prepare for a Zoom session?
The optimal set-up for a sound journey on Zoom is a quiet, private room with a steady internet connection where you can lie down, sit, and/or move comfortably with your eyes closed for the duration of the 90 minutes. Choose whether you would like to use speakers or headphones, and set these up beforehand.
Q — What is your background?
My practice is informed by over thirty years of vocal performance and exploration (solo/choral singing, sound art) and seven years of training experiences in somatic, meditative, and contemplative traditions (yoga, Ignatian spirituality, vipassana, ayahuasca). My professional academic training as a PhD in humanities/social sciences and my study of depth psychology underpin my effort to make sense of mystical experiences within an ethnographic, decolonial, and phenomenological framework.
