Sonic Soul Retrieval
Sonic Soul Retrieval is not something I created overnight, it’s something that grew with me.
It’s the culmination of all my years of wandering, learning, breaking open, rebuilding, studying, teaching, and listening - deeply listening - to life, to people, to energy, to sound, to myself. This work isn’t about escaping pain or pretending everything is love and light. It’s about turning toward what hurts with reverence.
Because the truth is - the wisdom is in the wound.
As you know, I don’t separate darkness from light; I don’t believe in bypassing the hard parts. I do believe in walking with and witnessing them to honor them.
Through Sonic Soul Retrieval, we enter the deeper layers of who you are; the wild, untamed, instinctual parts of you that don’t fit neatly into the roles you’ve been taught to play. This is about returning to your Soul Self… not just performing as your Avatar Self.
A lot of the people I work with are holding a lot - pressure, responsibility, family, work, health, and their creative spirit, all the while navigating the world we live in. It’s hard to juggle all those things when every one of them requires so much focus and attention; a deep exhaustion can start to settle deep in the bones and begin to cloud the mind, and thus the vision and the path forward.
This is where I can help.
These sacred spaces that we co-create become a space to reset your nervous system, recalibrate your energy, and expand your capacity to hold both yourself, your life, and everything else in it.
I weave together everything I’ve studied and mastered - Pranic Healing, Biofield Tuning, Reiki, meditation, trauma-informed movement and breathwork, sound healing - all into something that feels less like a modality and more like a living, breathing experience that shifts as you evolve.
At its core, Sonic Soul Retrieval is rooted in something very simple and very ancient: the intelligence of life itself. Light, sound, breath, the elements, the Four Directions, the celestial weather, and the unseen currents that move through us, and thereby influence the way we move through life. We work with these, not as concepts, but as living forces, to clear what feels stuck, to dissolve what no longer belongs, and bring you back into alignment with your own vitality. Because underneath it all- you already know who you are.
There’s a line I come back to often: There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. I don’t believe in fixing you or ‘healing’ you - there is nothing wrong with you. I believe in meeting you, sitting with you, and guiding you.
I blend Eastern medicine, sound healing, subtle energy, somatics and nervous system regulation practices in order for you to feel embodied and wild, soft and grounded, safe and expanded. These sessions are deeply sensory, connecting all parts and pieces of you. We will breathe together creating a sacred space where magic can enter. We will visualize together, perhaps even walking through the footsteps of lives once lived; we may consult the Oracle using Tarot or crystals or dream interpretation. We’ll work through activating meridians and nadi’s and feel how they influence your spine, organs or full body systems.
We’ll tone together so you can hear your own voice, using your own vibration to calm the nervous system. You’ll experience the effect of different sound waves moving through your body - Koshi chimes tuned to elements, crystal bowls tuned to Chakras, tuning forks humming Solfeggio frequencies, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and pangi chimes bringing wood and an ocean drum offering water … these layers of sound don’t just relax you, they speak to parts of you that words can’t reach, through waveforms that can be experienced.
I’ve spent years bridging the worlds of science and energy - working in research spaces while also walking the path of intuitive and shamanic practice. The science, spirit and shamanic world form a rather beautiful overlap - with us in the center.
At the heart of all of it is a deep devotion to the Divine Feminine and her rage, her wildness and her wisdom. Through this deep connection to my own magic and my devoted connection to yours, we bring your parts and pieces home, inviting shadow into light- allowing for what I call a bothness (because we are never just one thing.)
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. ~ Dr. Carl Jung
Sonic Soul Retrieval exists at the intersection of nervous system science, vibrational medicine, sacred ritual, embodiment, and ancient wisdom traditions. These sessions are a way of welcoming back your most exiled parts, and through loving and integrating them, you become more whole, more aligned, grounded, centered you, in the fact, you become the most you-iest you.

Biofield Tuning
We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
Biofield Tuning
I started my journey with Biofield Tuning in 2014 after meeting the creator, Eileen Day McKusick, at a conference at the California Institute for Human Science. We were both presenting and were equally enthralled by each other’s presentation. We became fast friends and due to my vast experience in the medical/health and research field + my many years teaching alternative therapies + teaching energy healing classes already, Eileen personally asked me to become one of the first Biofield Tuning Teachers, and soon after I was promoted to the International Lead Teacher, Research Assistant and Nonprofit Outreach until 2021.
Biofield Tuning is a sound healing modality that helps to relieve mental, emotional and physical stress, it is a targeted therapeutic system that uses tuning forks to help restore balance via the nervous system.
Physical matter is music solidified ~ Pythagoras
We are electrical beings: the energy that powers our brain, heart, muscles, fascia, and bone is electricity. Anything that is electrical produces a magnetic field perpendicular to it, which is measurable and has been studied in detail by the HeartMath Institute; they have measured the field of the brain and heart up to several feet away from the body.
What this means is that anything that is alive (electrical) produces a magnetic field (or bio-field) around itself. Both are measurable and scientifically proven.
Tuning forks produce coherent waveforms which are able to locate dissonance in the bio-field around the body. The coherent waveform from the tuning fork will find dissonance in the field and then recalibrate that dissonance back into harmony.
Dr. Bruce Lipton and I in India - post BT session
What does this mean?
By slowly working through the field using physics (resonance to find and entrainment to harmonize) the body will come back to equilibrium and homeostasis and thus, health. An easy way to understand this is - if you have a guitar that is in tune and mine is out of tune, if you keep playing an ‘A’ I will listen to your ‘A’ (resonance) and eventually I can tune my guitar to match your ‘A’ (entrainment).
This physics-based medicine allows the body's nervous system to move away from the sympathetic fight or flight response and relax into a parasympathetic rest and digest response; this is where healing can occur most efficiently. What we have found through thousands and thousands of clients is that the dissonance the tuning forks can find in the field can be directly linked to memories and emotions.
Simply put, Biofield Tuning is a way to use sound medicinally.
In our view, the biofield is the blueprint that the body follows, this contradicts what we were taught when we were younger, but withhold disbelief for an moment - this is entirely possible since to this day science has been unable to locate where memories are stored in the brain. So what if?
Time and time again, we have found that circumstances in life cause an emotional response and these are recorded in the biofield - you can think of them as a disturbance in the force, these areas have mass and a different density from the air, and because of this the practitioner and the client can hear the change in tone, pitch, timber and sometimes even volume. This takes the subjectivity out of the session as you are an active participant.
I like to think of this process as you coming home to yourself: I wrote a blog called Returning your Sparkle, Your Childlike Essence that you can refer to for a greater description of this process.
It’s a pretty simple concept when you think about it.
Remember third grade science class when we were told everything in the universe vibrates? We do, tables do, the air around us does… By treating the body (a vibrating particle) for an illness, disease or other issue (a vibrational imbalance) with coherent vibration (harmony), the body is able to recalibrate itself.
What’s the coolest thing about this? A state change is noticeable to the client regardless if they are in-person or if the session is done over a distance.
I trained under the creator of Biofield Tuning herself, Eileen Day McKusick, who was not only my mentor but my very best friend. Under her guidance I became an Advanced Certified Practitioner and then she personally asked me to become one of her first Biofield Tuning Teachers due to my extensive background in energy healing, vast knowledge of the health/medical field, prior years of teaching alternative therapies to medical professionals, and teaching energy healing classes across the US.
Eileen and I have traveled all over the world teaching together and speaking at conferences including Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) several years in a row, The Science of Consciousness Conference in San Diego in 2017, The Science and Nonduality Conference (SANDS) in San Jose in 2019, the Sound Healing Conference in Malvern, England in 2019 and the Advanced Medicine Conference in South Dakota in 2021.
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. ~ Plato
Because of my deep and insatiable love for travelling the world and visiting sacred spaces, I was able to expand Biofield Tuning globally and was promoted to the International Class Coordinator and Lead International Teacher. I was the Lead Team for Tuners without Borders, which was Biofield Tuning’s non-profit side to help those less fortunate. I have been on several missions to Jamaica and during Covid I began my virtual outreach to the Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation to support them with Biofield Tuning during Covid-time. I have a recorded session available on my video page.

It was my greatest pleasure teaching alongside Eileen for many years and teaching Biofield Tuning around the world to hundreds of students. It was an honor expanding and growing Biofield Tuning to all corners of the world, and touching the lives of so many different people in so many different places.
In 2021 I started to focus on my Masterclass on Illumination: The Wildish Wolfish Way. I have tuned hundreds of people trying to get unstuck, find their path, heal and return to themselves. I have hosted events and performed remote sessions all over the world - literally - and now serve the San Francisco / Bay Area where I continue to tune and host large sound healing events.

I have known and been good friends with Jess since meeting her in 2014 at the Subtle Energy Conference in San Diego, and I have had the good fortune to travel, work and teach alongside her all around the world. Jess has a very comprehensive understanding of the biofield and of Biofield Tuning, and provides brilliant and insightful feedback as a practitioner. She has a vast background in performing and teaching about a variety of alternative therapies and healing modalities. I have given and received many tune ups with and from her and I would highly recommend Jess as a practitioner. ~ Eileen Day McKusick
I would love to tune you and bring you back into balance with yourself and your environment! Please let me know how I can support you on your healing journey <3

Anam Cara and the Isle of Skye
I met my friend Craig Dickson at the Sound Healing Conference in Malvern, England many years ago because Eileen and I were teaching a Biofield Tuning class and she was the Keynote speaker at this conference once class was finished.
Malvern was one of our favorite places to visit because there is a ley line that runs right through the Malvern Hills of Outstanding Beauty and right into a crystal shop - how synchronous! It was just as synchronous meeting Craig because I had always wanted to go to Scotland, but at that point I hadn’t. Craig said that he worked and lived on a retreat center in the highlands of Inverness called Anam Cara - which translates to Soul Friend.
After some back and forth I was able to solidify the very first Biofield Tuning Foundations class in Scotland and my co-teacher and I flew out to teach these amazing humans how to use tuning forks on this sacred land. We had such an amazing class and as usual it was so hard saying goodbye to our students, who had become our friends and even extended family.
Not surprisingly I fell in love with Scotland and promised to be back one day, and that day finally happened during the summer of 2023 when I hosted another weekend event to help the Foundations students there be able to practice Biofield Tuning, ask questions, get help with whatever holes were in their memory and learn some more new things that I had brought them.
We set up these days so that everyone could share something they wanted too and it ended up being an absolutely gorgeous skill-share and meet up from all the corners of the country!
After our meet-up Craig, his daughter and I went to the Fairy Pools and the Isle of Skye to see the Old Man of Storr. As you all know by now I love sacred spaces especially where the veil is thin and there is much to be seen and discovered. I read a book about the Isle of Skye when I was little and it was written as fiction - because the author said it had to be - and that all the magical things in the book that he wrote about were actually true (and I believe him!)
The Isle of Skye is considered magical for quite a few reasons but one of the main ones that you’ll hear a lot is that its a place where the veil (between this world and the next) is the thinnest. The rocks are said to be alive and the weather isn’t just weather, but spirits passing or the breath of ancient beings.
The story of Old Man of Storr is that he was a giant who died and collapsed on the land and his fingers became the spires of rock and his face became the cliff side - the “old Man” is the thumb or largest spiral still standing.
When you’re there you feel like you are watching and observing this shifts in weather and temperature and presence, but you also feel like you are being observed right back. It’s an extremely transformative and hugely magical place and I feel so lucky I was able to spend time there.
I am so grateful to Craig and Anam Cara for being such lovely hosts and I can’t wait to return again one day!
