Amanda Wilcher
Music has been woven into the fabric of my being for as long as I can remember. My journey with sound began with classical training at age four when I first started learning classical piano and voice. By fourteen, my musical world had expanded to include six instruments: alto saxophone, cello, drums, piano, guitar, and voice. But what began as musical training would eventually transform into something far more profound.
Growing up in challenging circumstances – facing poverty, difficult family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and the loss of my sister to childhood cancer – I discovered music as my sanctuary. In those moments when the world felt overwhelming, I could retreat to my room, close the door, and let the piano keys and my voice carry me to a place of peace. Music wasn't just an escape; it was my lifeline, keeping me anchored through life's storms. I experienced firsthand how sound could create powerful shifts in both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Through my own healing and self-discovery journey, I began to understand something deeper about sound's potential. What I had experienced intuitively as a child – the power of sound to soothe, heal, and transform – I discovered was supported by both scientific evidence and spiritual wisdom. This realization led me to merge my 20 years of musicianship with an intensive study of sound healing, exploring both its scientific foundations and spiritual dimensions.
Founder and Sound Practitioner
As a perpetual student of life, I continue to explore and expand my understanding of sound healing, always learning and growing in my practice. This journey has taught me that healing takes many forms, which is why I've also embraced other paths to wellness. I strive to live in harmony with nature, and enjoy exploring the gentle power of herbal medicine as a novice herbalist. This connection to the natural world deepens my understanding of healing and influences how I approach my sound healing practice.
In my practice, I create carefully curated sound experiences that promote relaxation and renewal. Each session is thoughtfully designed to address specific goals while remaining adaptable to individual needs. Whether working one-on-one or guiding group sessions, I maintain a professional environment where clients can safely explore sound's therapeutic potential.
My mission is to make the benefits of professional sound healing accessible while advancing understanding of its scientific foundations. Through education and experience, I help clients discover how intentional use of sound can support their health and wellness objectives.
