About Julia
As a sound artist and meditation instructor, I weave voice, acoustic instruments, and electronic production into immersive journeys for healing and transformation.
Music has been my medicine for as long as I can remember, but as a young adult, chronic anxiety and stage fright kept me from pursuing it as a career. After graduating from Fordham University in NYC with a bachelor’s in Psychology, I spent years working in the mindfulness and meditation field, supporting teachers and immersing myself in Buddhist philosophies and other contemplative practices. The tools I learned were invaluable in unwinding my own anxieties — and since earning my meditation instructor certification in 2019, I’ve been able to support others on their healing path as well.
Naturally, my journey through the mindfulness world eventually led me to the study of sound healing — a practice that quickly became my heart’s joy. My work weaves together a deep love of music, sound, and mindfulness with years of study of subtle energetics, as well as Northern European shamanic pathways that are rooted in earth-honoring wisdom. Through this integration, I create immersive sonic landscapes that invite the body’s innate healing intelligence to awaken and unfold.
My work has been featured on the Sports Illustrated Swim platform, the Maloka virtual reality mindfulness game, and beyond.
It’s my deepest honor to support you, wherever you are on your path.
About Sound Healing
Sound is not just something we hear — it’s something we feel. It moves through us, shifts our chemistry, and has the power to bring us back to ourselves.
Just like an upbeat song can energize you or a nostalgic melody can make you tear up, specific tones and frequencies can support the body in downshifting from stress into calm. Sound healing works by using vibrational instruments — such as crystal and metal singing bowls, chimes, and gong — to entrain the body and brain into more harmonious states. These tones can be deeply regulating to the nervous system.
When you experience a sound bath, it can be more than a relaxing experience — you can activate innate healing systems within. The instruments emit frequencies that can influence your brainwaves, gently guiding them from active beta states (associated with problem-solving or stress) into slower, restorative rhythms like alpha (relaxed), theta (meditative), and even delta states (deep healing and sleep). This process, known as brainwave entrainment, allows you to access states of consciousness that are often only reached in deep meditation or sleep.
On a physical level, sound waves create patterns — a phenomenon known as cymatics — and those patterns directly interact with your tissues, fluids, and energetic body. These frequencies have been shown to increase coherence in the brain, stimulate the vagus nerve (a key player in emotional regulation and parasympathetic activation, AKA the “rest and digest” state), and improve markers of immune function and inflammation.
In a time when overstimulation, burnout, and chronic stress are considered normal, sound healing offers a gentle, immersive invitation to slow down and reconnect. It doesn’t require any effort — just an openness to receive.
What does the research say?
While music and sound have long been known to be healing, modern science is beginning to catch up. Here are just a handful of studies exploring the psychological and physiological effects of sound and music:
☆ Frontiers in Psychiatry – Auditory beat stimulation and its effects on cognition and mood states
☆ National Institutes of Health – Coping with stress: the effectiveness of different types of music
☆ Frontiers in Psychology – The impact of music on human development and well-being
☆ National Institutes of Health – Music and emotions: from enchantment to entrainment
Benefits of sound healing can include:
♡ Reduced anxiety and depression
♡ Lowered blood pressure and heart rate
♡ Improved sleep quality
♡ Support with pain management
♡ Enhanced mental clarity
♡ Emotional release and trauma resolution
♡ Vagus nerve stimulation and parasympathetic activation
♡ A shift from reactive to responsive states
♡ A deeper connection to your inner world
A note on my various offerings:
It may be helpful to distinguish between the sound healing experiences I facilitate and the music and songs I create — while they share a common thread, their purpose and format are different.
Many people use the terms sound journey, sound bath, and sound meditation interchangeably. While they all fall under the umbrella of sound healing experiences, I personally differentiate between them based on subtle nuances in approach and intention. Overall, these offerings are immersive listening experiences designed to guide you into deep rest, presence, and nervous system regulation. They are longer-form sessions that I lead using crystal singing bowls, chimes, vocal tones, and other resonant instruments to support brainwave shifts, emotional release, and whole-body attunement. These sessions are spacious and meditative invitations to receive — typically experienced lying down with the eyes closed. They are a practice, not a performance. Unlike a concert, which engages the thinking mind, sound healing invites you into deep listening and embodied presence. There’s no melody to follow, no lyrics to interpret — just vibration, intention, and spaciousness to let go.
On the other hand, the songs and music pieces I create are more structured and intentionally crafted for daily integration. Many of them include healing instruments like bowls, drones, nature sounds, and vocals, but they’re designed for moments when you need a quick energetic reset, a pocket of calm, or a gentle background for yoga, breathwork, creative work, or ritual. These tracks are meant to live with you throughout your day.
Both are healing in their own ways — one invites you inward for deeper exploration, while the other offers support in motion. Together, I hope they form for you a spectrum of sonic care, meeting you wherever you are. ♡
