Maria Lado
Maria is a Filipino-born Australian sound therapy practitioner. After years of navigating the pressure and pace of corporate life, she followed a quieter calling; one rooted in sound, stillness, and community. Her work is an invitation to hold space for people to rest and recalibrate, mindfully guided by both sound and silence.Maria offers sound as a vessel, allowing your own body and mind to find its way back to calm. Her approach blends the grounded and the intuitive, shaped by intuition, science and soul.Her intention is to bridge the gap for the non-believers; that sound therapy doesn't require belief, only a willingness to discover where it takes you.
