Some things can't be held in a group container.

There are moments that ask for something made entirely for you — for your practice, your home, your ceremony, the threshold you're standing at. This is where that work lives.

Twenty-four years of teaching, spiritual guidance, and sacred ceremony — available to you privately, online and in person.

1:1 Mantra & Spiritual Guidance.

Direct, sustained accompaniment for your practice — scoped entirely around you.

Some practitioners reach a point where the group container is no longer the right fit. Their practice has developed specificity. Their questions have become personal. What they need is not another course or cohort but someone who knows the tradition deeply, who can track their individual practice over time, and who can meet them precisely where they are.

That's what 1:1 work with me offers.

We might work together on a specific mantra or mantra sequence that's calling to you. On building or deepening a daily practice that actually holds. On the embodiment dimension — how mantra lives in the body, how it moves through breath and sensation, not just in recitation.

I also work with practitioners navigating significant life transitions — loss, illness, major change — who want sacred sound and embodied practice as a companion through that terrain.

Every engagement is scoped in an initial conversation. There are no fixed packages. Length, frequency, and focus are determined by what the work actually asks for.

Private Sound Bath Experiences.

A sound bath made for one person, one couple, one small gathering — held in your home, your space, or a location we choose together.

Private sound baths are right for you if you want the depth of a live sound experience without a group container, if you have a specific intention you want to hold at the center of the session, or if you're creating a meaningful experience for people you love.

Common occasions: birthday or life milestone celebrations, pre-wedding or wedding day ceremonies, postpartum welcomings, grief and loss, a simply quiet evening of deep listening. There is no wrong reason to gather around sound.

Sessions are held in person in the San Francisco Bay Area and Rangeley, Maine, and occasionally in other locations by arrangement. Each one is scoped in conversation — duration, setting, intention, and any ceremonial elements you want woven in.

Custom Ritual Design.

A ceremony that actually holds what it's meant to hold.

The threshold moments of a life — a wedding, a baby's arrival, a death, a home blessing, a divorce, a season of grief, a crossing into something new — deserve more than a generic script. They deserve sound, intention, and the kind of precision that comes from 24 years of working with sacred practice.

As an ordained minister and experienced ceremony leader, I work from a simple conviction: a ceremony should hold the people in it, not the other way around. Whatever elements of sound, breath, prayer, silence, and sacred practice serve that — that's what we use. Every ceremony is built from scratch for the specific occasion, the specific people, and the specific land it's held on.

Weddings.

A ceremony rooted in the sacred rather than the sentimental — though there will be both. We begin months in advance, in conversation about what you want this occasion to carry, what you want it to open, what you want the people in that room to feel and remember. The sound, the words, the structure, and any sacred elements we choose together are all built around that.

Celebrations of Life.

Grief asks for ceremony the way fire asks for air. A celebration of life designed with intention — with the right sounds, the right words, the right silences — can hold loss in a way that generic memorial services rarely do. I bring mantra, live sound, and deep care to these.

Baby Welcoming.

The arrival of a child is one of the most sonically alive moments in a family's life. A baby welcoming ceremony calls in protection, abundance, and the full force of the lineage on behalf of this new being. Often includes the Sri Sukta, and a blessing for the mother and her body.

House Blessings.

A home holds the energy of everyone who has lived in it. A house blessing clears that field and consecrates the space with intention — with mantra, with fire or smoke, with sound, with specific prayers for protection and prosperity. A powerful practice whether you're moving into a new home or reclaiming the one you're in.

Other Thresholds.

If you're marking a moment that doesn't fit neatly into a category above — a significant birthday, a business opening, a season of transition, a ritual of release — reach out. If ceremony is what it's asking for, we'll find the right shape for it together.

Tell me what you're working with.

Use this form for any of the offerings above — private sound bath, 1:1 spiritual guidance, or ceremony design. Tell me as much or as little as you know right now. I read every inquiry personally and respond within a few days.

  • Private and ceremonial work is offered in limited quantity — I take on what I can hold with full attention. If you have a date in mind, especially for ceremony design, reaching out early gives us the most room to work with.

    I'm based between the San Francisco Bay Area and Rangeley, Maine, and travel for the right engagements. If you're elsewhere, tell me — we'll see what's possible.
