Sally has been involved with music and singing for most of her life. She originally studied ethnomusicology with a special interest in Indian dance and vocal music and Indonesian music.
After many years of teaching and managerial roles in the education sector, several years ago she trained as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher and became fascinated with the ability of the gong to induce a deep state of relaxation that she had never experienced before, as well as the transformative effect of mantra from the Sikh tradition. She became involved in the Shanti Mission Harmony Centre for many years and visited Śrī Śaktī Amma Nārāyaṇī’s ashram in India where she learned more about the chanting of Sanskrit mantra in the Hindu tradition.
Sally is passionate about using meditation and sound for healing both on the physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
She has also completed Nāda Yoga teacher training in India with Anandra George, an expert on Sanskrit mantra and Vedic chant, practitioner level Biofield Tuning with Eileen McKusick, Master Gong Practitioner Training with Mehtab Benton, Mongolian overtone chanting with Jill Purse and Tibetan mantra and bowls with Lama Tendar.
Several years ago, Sally trained as a Sound Healing Practitioner with the Sound Healing Academy UK and went on to become an associate teacher with the Academy. She delivers their courses in Melbourne and regional Victoria, Australia as well as her own courses specialising in Nāda Yoga (the yoga of sound).
