⏾My Desire

Lowkey…I’m a lovergirl at heart and I curate loving spaces for all of us to experience belonging.

Music, dance, breath, soundscapes are my tools to build worlds that transport us into mystical spaces that erase division. I value high levels of hope, curiosity, and play. I started producing music to deepen the journey of the healing arts experiences I’ve self-produced and led for 10 years so I can help people remember their mystic codes.

I am more established as a healing arts facilitator than a musician, having established my Healing Arts Academy and training over 1500+ students in breath & sound.

In this next wave, I want to share the music and live ritual experiences bigger and wider.
I desire collaboration, community, and co-creation.
I hope we can do that together!
