Behind the Act

Hi, I’m Alexandra!

My journey into sound didn’t begin with yoga or meditation. It didn’t even begin with confidence, clarity, or a deep sense of self-love. It actually began in the absence of those things.

For a long time, my attention felt scattered, pulled in every direction, especially in a world that constantly demands it. Beneath that, I carried a quiet lack of confidence and a disconnection from myself. I didn’t feel fully able to meet life, or even my own community, in a grounded and present way. At the core of it, I came to realize it wasn’t just distraction, it was a lack of love within myself.

That awareness changed everything.

What I began to discover is that love isn’t something you chase outward, it’s something you learn to feel within the silence of your own mind. And for me, sound became the bridge back to that place.

Through sound, I learned how to return to my attention. To slow down. To truly listen. In a world where our attention is constantly fragmented by technology and noise, sound became a way for me to recalibrate, to find stillness within vibration, and presence within myself.

As I deepened into this practice, something began to shift. I found a sense of inner steadiness, a quiet confidence, and a deeper connection not only to myself, but to life and the people around me.

Now, sound is not just something I practice, it’s something I share.

Sound is a tool for returning. For remembering. For reconnecting to the parts of ourselves that get lost in the noise.

A meaningful part of my journey in building self-trust, love, and confidence has been guided by a medium I’ve known my whole life, Johanne Rutledge. Her honesty and love helped open doors within me and gave me the courage to continue exploring.

I am a certified Gong Facilitator through Vikrampal, have studied Sound and Ceremony with Bibi Borja, and am certified through the International Sound Therapy Association. Each of these experiences has deepened my relationship with sound as a powerful and sacred tool for transformation.
