    The vibration of sound is powerful medicine. Quantum physics and ancient wisdom agree that the universe was born through sound.

    Musician and Sacred Sound Mentor.

    Tiffany first discovered the healing power of sound through her own journey recovering from eating disorders as a teen. Singing, sound and yoga were more effective in getting to the heart of her wounds than talk therapy.

    She now mentors others to free their natural voice, find home in their own skin, and learn to use the power of embodied sound to transform their lives and the lives of others. Tiffany is the creator of Vocal Liberation – a sacred container to activate your embodied voice and easy, unapologetic expression.  She is also the founder of the Sparrow School of Sound Alchemy and guides others to become Sound Facilitators and to powerfully lead sound healing sessions for groups.

    As for official cred, Tiffany is a certified music counselling therapist (MTA, RCT), sound therapist, ethnomusicologist (MA) and yoga teacher (RYT). She’s studied with many pioneers in sound healing including Jonathan Goldman, Chloe Goodchild and John Stuart Reid as well as spiritual teachers include Sri Sakthi Amma, Shakti Durga and Yogrishi Vishveketu.

    Tiffany is a performing artist and recording artist with albums that include mantras, medicine songs, and original singer-songwriter tunes (available on Spotify and apple music). She’s toured and performed with sacred musicians like Dave Stringer, Jai Uttal, Shimshai and Karnamrita Dasi.

    Tiffany is honoured to serve others in this journey of remembering who we really are.  Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu

     

    For Kevin, music, sound & yoga are an alchemy of expansion.  

    Yoga provides the method, training ground and reality for fully and consciously moving through the world, for encountering all of life’s twists and turns with grace, intelligence, and respect. Music, drumming and the vibrations of the gong elevate that to the next level.

    The mirror of practice is one that will consistently provide the practitioner with a high fidelity reflection of themselves, strengths and weaknesses alike. To be living within the opportunity to develop precision and discrimination as this reflection is observed is an opportunity Kevin intends to make the most of. This opportunity is one that Kevin feels all should have equal potential to put to practice, and is at the root of what drives him to share this inspiration with all who seek.
