Hello and Welcome
I am a down-to-earth, classically trained pianist living in London. I enjoy collaborative work with singers and instrumentalists. My professional work encompasses recitals, private events, recording sessions, cruise ship engagements, interactive therapeutic concerts, and meditative sound concerts.
Most recently, I have been immersed in the world of sound therapy, and I am undertaking a Professional Diploma in Sound Arts Therapy at the British Academy of Sound Therapy. I am also a student of Integral Sound Studies and Practices with SVARAM Center in Auroville, India.

THERAPEUTIC SOUND SESSION - U-shaped Soundscape
14 June 2024, 6-8 PM, Clarendon Hotel Blackheath, SE3 0RW
This U-shaped soundscape will be designed to release tension and to tune our bodies to a calmer and healthier energetic vibration.
We will take some time tuning into the sounds that surround us, and explore what impact they may have on us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We will then explore some wonderful instruments and play, improvise, and explore their sounds. We will also create two soundscapes together in a small group, which we will play at the end.

THERAPEUTIC SOUND SESSION - Literal Soundscape
17 May 2024, 6-8 PM, Clarendon Hotel Blackheath, SE3 0RW
Soundscape is a piece of art in sound. In this session we will work with an abstract piece of art which we will be literally translating into sound. The group will work together and collectively decide on how the soundscape will progress, choose the instruments to express different shapes and colours, write a simple score and then perform the soundscape together at the end. The therapeutic process here is in communication, social interaction, creativity, being in the present moment, and having fun!
