I’m Jess Pearson, a Holistic Healing Practitioner and founder of Harmony. I’m a Capricorn Sun, Pisces Moon, and Capricorn Rising. My Venus is in Sagittarius, and my Midheaven is in Libra, all of which have deeply shaped my life. I was born in Palawan in the Philippines and started Harmony several years ago in Auckland, New Zealand as a means of bridging ancient healing to the modern world.
Within my community, I serve as a Sound Therapist, Reiki Master, Tea Ceremony Facilitator, and Tarot Reader. I am also training as a Hypnobirthing Practitioner and Birth Educator, supporting women to reclaim birth as a rite of passage. My work is rooted in holistic healing, while drawing on traditions I have explored over the years. I believe that by honouring and preserving these ancient healing systems, we maintain our connection to the earth, the self, and the sacred.
During my sound healing studies, I felt called to research my ancestry and discovered that before the Spanish colonised the Philippines, there existed an ancient tradition of female mystics known as the Babaylans. These women were shamans, bridging the spiritual and material worlds within their communities. Their roles included warrior, healer, priestess, and sage.
I also discovered that music was present in every stage of my ancestors' lives, from birth to death, in blissful or tragic times. This phenomenon explains why so many Filipino women I know are doing holistic healing work, especially within the realm of sound healing, including myself. It’s in our blood. The deeper I embrace sound healing, the more connected to my ancestors I feel.
My studies began in 2021 with in-depth training in crystal singing bowls under Ali Young, followed by a sound healing practitioner certification with Chase Trellert. My Reiki journey started in 2022 with Level 1 training through Sophia Cataldo and progressed to Levels 2 and 3 with Olivia Scott.
In 2025, I completed Level 3B with Sophia Cataldo, qualifying me to teach and attune others as a Reiki Master Teacher. That same year, I also completed an introduction to Cha Dao with Wu De of Global Tea Hut, deepening my connection to tea as a meditative and ceremonial practice.
I am currently completeing my Hypnobirthing Training with Helen Bartrom from Positive Births, supporting mothers to feel prepared, regulated, and empowered during one of life’s most transformative experiences.
My path as a practitioner was shaped by my own experiences with anxiety and depression, which led me to explore holistic healing and spiritual practices. Born with intuitive abilities, I spent many years learning to understand and integrate these gifts. Each experience became a stepping stone, guiding me toward the work I now offer.
Additionally, my mother’s experience of postpartum depression had a significant impact on my upbringing, shaping my understanding of the world, and ultimately guiding me toward supporting women through hypnobirthing.
My passion lies in supporting nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported. Alongside this, I have a deep fascination with astrology, herbalism, archetypes, feminine wisdom, and earth-based spirituality, all of which naturally weave into my offerings.
I am also passionate about caring for the earth, and in my spare time, I volunteer at a local urban farm, learning regenerative organic methods to nurture the land and grow nutrient-rich food.
“A sound bath with Jess is a truly unique, luxurious and spellbinding experience. The entire journey is finely curated, and her attention to detail really sets her apart. I love that she begins each session by carefully explaining the techniques to help me get the most out of the experience. At the end of each session, I always find myself emerging in a state of pure bliss.” — Michael
“I have just had the most incredible sound bath! Not only did Jess provide a calming and welcoming environment, but she also guided us into the journey, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the sounds. I felt as though I was floating above my body, which was a truly amazing experience! I am leaving feeling grounded and calm with a deep sense of relaxation.” — Emily
“I had the most wonderful sound bath last weekend courtesy of Jess. At first, I was very aware of my thoughts flitting through my head, and it was quite difficult to relax and focus on the sounds. Gradually the softness of the music (and the bowls do sing like music) took over, and it was with some disappointment the experience came to a close. I loved it! Count me in for regular sessions. Thank you, Jess!” — Cathy
“Last week's session struck like an ancient gong reverberating through my internal landscape. Most remedial. Prior to your class, I was facilitating a shamanic plant medicine retreat and now wonder at the potential to integrate the two. Stellar work you're doing. Many thanks, Jess.” — James
