Check out my recent podcast feature on healing the collective wounds of the masculine and the feminine through sound and vibration!
Today many of us are listening to the call to turn inwards – to realign, reflect, and respond – in order to restore our deep sense of belonging to ourselves, our communities, and the planet.
This journey requires us to restore the fundamental connection between the psyche, soma, and heart – so that we may fully embody each of these through our conscious awareness.
It is a journey of courage, compassion, and curiosity – as we traverse the biological, ancestral, and collective energies that have shaped our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us.
As we bring conscious embodiment to the psyche, soma, and heart, we come to know our true essence, our purpose, and our contribution to the planet.

Embodying Our Authenticity
Balancing the Psyche, Soma, and Heart: Using Sound, Vibration, and Movement
Acoustic Sound Journeys
Acoustic Sound Journeys provide a combination of somatic, energetic, psychological, and physiological support to gently engage the internal mechanisms so that we can safely embody ourselves, connect to our inner wisdom, and live from a more authentic place. This transformative process brings us into engagement with our protective strategies (ego) and inherited wounds that keep us out of alignment with our hearts. In this journey we are also invited back to our natural rhythm and inter-dependent relationship with the natural world.
Individual Acoustic Sound Journey: $200 per session
Acoustic Sound Journey Workshop: see workshops for details and pricing for 6 or 12 week format
BIOFIELD TUNING
Biofield Tuning is a contemporary approach to sound healing that uses the vibration from tuning forks to induce targeted relaxation and to recalibrate our vibrational rhythms from stressors that regularly deplete us.
Paula’s unique approach to Biofield Tuning supports individuals in attending to the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic blocks that prevent us from accessing our fully expression of the authentic self. This gentle and elegant approach often results in deep sustained changes as it brings the psyche, soma, and heart into a state of greater coherence and flow.
Biofield Tuning: 90 minute session $225
