Sound healing found me during one of the most challenging times of my life. In 2016, while navigating depression and a mystery illness, I received a sound bath from an alternative medicine practitioner. The experience left an imprint on my heart, a shift that opened a doorway to something deeper. Two years later, a psychic’s guidance led me to purchase my first crystal singing bowl. As its vibrations moved through my body, shifting stagnant energy and guiding me into transcendental states, I felt an undeniable connection, as if something ancient was stirring within me.
In 2021, I answered the call to step fully into this path and become a Sound Therapist. During my studies, I felt a strong pull to research my ancestry and discovered that, before the Spanish colonised the Philippines, there existed an ancient tradition of female mystics called Babaylans. These women were shamans, bridging the spiritual and material worlds within their communities. Their roles included warrior, healer, priestess, and sage. Learning that this ancient lineage flows through my veins deepened my devotion to the work, weaving the threads of my ancestry into each session I hold.
The Babaylan archetype deeply resonates with my role as a Sound Therapist. Like the Babaylans, I create space for others to journey into altered states of consciousness, acting as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. The process of creating sound baths (through vibration, intention, and energy work) reflects ancient healing rituals, reminding me that the work I offer is a continuation of these timeless practices. Sound healing reconnects me to my roots, honouring the wisdom that flows through me and inviting others to tap into their own healing potential.
