Hey there, I’m Syd:
a musician, songwriter, & sound bath practitioner with a lifelong love of music and meaningful connection.
For over a decade, I traveled the world as a professional touring artist, using my voice and musical abilities to connect with thousands of people. But behind the scenes, music was also what helped me reconnect with myself. Through my own journey with mental health and healing, I discovered how sound could quiet the noise in my mind and bring me back into my body.
My journey to sound healing:
While listening to a guided meditation, I heard an instrument that stopped me in my tracks. As someone who has been around and performed on many instruments my entire life, I was shocked I didn't know what it was. I had felt something different and I knew I wanted to experience that feeling again. I later discovered it was a sound bowl. This experience sparked a journey of discovery about sound, vibration, & the connection between music, mindfulness, and the body.
The more I explored, the more naturally everything came together. Sound healing felt like an extension of the relationship I'd always had with music, but with a new intention - creating space to slow down, turn inward, and connect with myself.
What began as a personal practice has become something I feel deeply called to share with others.
The SAGE Method:
A LITTLE WORKOUT FOR YOUR MIND.
Along my own healing journey, I found myself returning to four simple practices that, when woven together, became the SAGE Method — a flowing daily ritual I would come back to time and time again.
Just as we make time to strengthen our bodies, we can make time to strengthen our minds. The SAGE Method brings together four intentional practices designed to deepen self-awareness, nurture emotional well-being, and create a stronger connection between mind, body, and spirit.

More than just what we are hearing.
Sound has always been my way of connecting with myself and the world around me. Whether it was singing to a crowd or listening to a truly moving song.
Through playing sound bowls, I've discovered a deeper connection between music, mindfulness, and the body. Each bowl corresponds to a musical note and is also associated with one of the seven chakras (energy centers in the body). Sound is the foundation of the SAGE Method, inviting us to slow down, tune inward, and begin listening to ourselves.
-
Change your thoughts. Change your outlook on life.
Not every thought we think is true. Affirmations give us an opportunity to challenge old beliefs, create new patterns of thinking, and become more aware of the stories we are telling ourselves. By intentionally choosing the words we repeat, in our minds or out loud, we begin to reshape our thgouhts and open ourselves to a whole new perspective on life.
-
Feel it before you see it.
Gratitude is more than just recognizing the good in our lives - it's about truly feeling it. By pairing gratitude with an affirmation, we practice connecting to the emotion behind what we're inviting into our lives - whether that's peace, confidence, love, joy or whatever else our bodies might need. The more we practice gratitude, the quicker our frequency rises.
-
Put mindfulness into practice.
Just as we exercise our bodies, or follow a fitness routine, we can also exercise our minds.
Through the continuous practice of the SAGE method, we can strengthen the connection between our mind, body, & spirit and build the muscle until it in time becomes second nature to truly feel differently.
EVERY PHASE HAS A PURPOSE
Like the moon, I've moved through many phases of light and dark, growth and change. Along the way, I've learned that healing isn't always about fixing what we feel, but learning to sit with it, honor it, and allow ourselves to simply be.
I have learned to hold space for every version of myself.
Now, I would love to help hold space for you.
You are whole // Through every phase
