The things that break us don’t actually break us. They crack us open.

When my life drastically changed in 2023, it felt like the end of something. Like the version of me I’d built was gone, and I didn’t know who was supposed to take his place. I grieved it. I resisted it. For a long time, I just tried to survive it.

But in that breaking, a question showed up that I never would have asked if everything had stayed the same: why?

Why was I holding on so tightly? Why did I feel safer staying small? Why did I believe that losing something meant losing myself?

Those questions weren’t comfortable. But they led me deeper than I’d ever let myself go. And what I found underneath wasn’t something broken. It was something waiting to be discovered.

That’s the part no one tells you. The breaking isn’t the end of the story. It’s the opening. It’s the invitation to dig deep, find your why, and come back to yourself more whole than before.

If you’re in the middle of your own breaking right now, hold on. taken in Wichita, Kansas by @derekddav

I’ve been sitting with something I didn’t want to admit.

When I lost my last business, I told myself I’d moved on. I rebuilt. I kept showing up. But somewhere along the way, I started quietly holding myself back. Every time something began to grow, in my business, in my relationships, in me, a part of me braced for impact. If I didn’t grow too big, I couldn’t lose too much.

I didn’t see it as fear. I called it being careful. Being realistic. Waiting for the right time.

Recently I finally named it: I’ve been storing the fear of growth in my body, carrying the grief of that loss into every new beginning.

So I’m doing the work. Through energy work, I’m giving myself permission to feel what I avoided, and to release what no longer belongs to me. It isn’t a quick fix. Some days it’s heavy. But for the first time in a long time, I feel space where the fear used to be.

If you've ever held yourself back to protect yourself from losing again, I see you. You're not broken. You're guarding something that was hurt. And it can heal. taken in Wichita, Kansas by @derekddav

How To START HEALING

First admit that you are unhappy.
Then admit why.
Then understand you need to let go.
Allow yourself a moment.
Breathe in the moment deeply.
Then the healing will begin.

During a sound bath with me, there are 5 phases I lead you through.

1) The Arrival - this starts the grounding process and helps create safety and presence.

2) The Descent - this second experience allows for the facilitation of emotional release while also encouraging the energy in your body to soften and unwind.

3) Depth- in this phase, we create stillness and start to create entertainment for the brain waves. This is also the phase where the deepest rest occurs during a sound bath.

4) Expansion - we switch things up a bit during this phase. During Expansion, we’re integrating the frequencies and uplifting the energy in the body. We also work to restore coherence.

5) The Return - in this last phase we finalize the experience with grounding energy. This is where we close out the sound bath experiment.

I have two opportunities to experience a sound bath. Both on September 19th. Ticket sales are live in my bio. taken in Wichita, Kansas by @derekddav

Healing is not something you do to yourself — it’s something you uncover. It’s already in you. The work is tapping in, getting quiet enough to hear what’s actually going on, and trusting what comes up even when it doesn’t follow a straight line.

Some days you’ll feel like you’re moving forward. Some days it’ll feel like you’re back at square one. Both are part of it. taken in Wichita, Kansas by @derekddav

What actually happens to your body during a sound bath 

THE BEGINNING 
Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between “safe space” and “still on guard” — until the first bowl strikes. Heart rate begins to sync with the vibration (entrainment). Cortisol starts its slow descent. You’re still holding tension in the jaw, shoulders, spine.

THE MIDDLE 
This is where the shift happens. Brainwaves drop from beta (alert, thinking) into alpha and theta — the same states you hit right before sleep or deep meditation. Blood pressure lowers. Breathing slows and deepens on its own. Fascia and muscle tissue respond to low-frequency vibration by literally releasing held tension. This is the part people describe as “floating.”

THE END 
Parasympathetic nervous system fully online — rest, digest, repair mode. Lymphatic flow increases. Inflammation markers drop. You surface not just relaxed, but recalibrated — like your whole biofield got retuned along with your body.

The frequency doesn’t just soothe you. It restructures you.

Join us September 19th from 2pm-4pm for a special Cacao Ceremony + Sound Bath or from 6pm-7:30pm for a Sound Bath.

Something is coming to Wichita that does not exist anywhere else.

Embodied Sound Alchemy is a full-spectrum healing experience that goes far beyond a traditional sound bath. A live collective tarot reading opens the space, tuning the room to its emotional truth and shifting your relationship with what you carried in. Then the sound begins.

Channeled vocals. Sacred chanting. Crystal bowls and sacred instruments woven into a fully immersive live sound journey that moves through your body at a cellular level. A Reiki master moves through the room offering hands-on energetic healing to individuals as the sound carries them deeper. And when the room reaches its deepest point of meditation, a guided subconscious visualization takes you beneath the surface of everything you tell yourself, to where your limited beliefs live, and breaks them open.

We are offering two versions of this experience.

The first includes ceremonial cacao, a pure, unprocessed plant medicine used for thousands of years as a heart opener, dissolving what we hold too tightly and creating a deeper emotional entry point into everything that follows.

The second is the full sound and energy experience without cacao, equally powerful, differently felt.

Both are limited in space. Both will change you.
