About Me
Certified Sound Practitioner
&
Certified Shinrin-Yoku Practitioner
Hi, I’m Latoya.
I’m a sound practitioner, nature guide, and space holder who believes deeply in the body’s wisdom and our innate connection to the natural world. I am devoted to restoring balance through the practice of elemental immersion and vibrational healing.
Soulshine Roots and Resonance was created from a simple truth I’ve come to know again and again:
when we slow down, listen, and reconnect — healing naturally unfolds.
My work is an invitation to return to rhythm, presence, and resonance — within yourself and with nature.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is an ancient practice rooted in the understanding that everything in nature, including the human body, moves in vibration. Long before modern science could measure it, cultures across the world used sound as a way to restore harmony—through drums, chants, bowls, and the voice. Today, we know that sound waves can influence the nervous system, helping slow brainwaves, regulate stress responses, and invite the body into a state of deep rest. In a sound bathing experience, you are simply held by vibration. The tones move through you like gentle ripples, dissolving tension, softening the mind, and reminding the body how to return to its natural rhythm of balance and ease.
What is Forest Bathing
Forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, is both an ancient remembering and a modern medicine. It is the slow, intentional act of being with the living world—breathing with the trees, listening to the subtle language of the forest, and allowing the senses to awaken. Research shows that time spent among trees can calm the nervous system, lower stress hormones, and support immune health, while the wisdom of the Earth does the rest. In forest bathing, there is nothing to accomplish. You are invited to move gently, to be witnessed by the land, and to remember what your body has always known: that nature is not separate from you, but a quiet and faithful companion.
I attended a sound bath session and it was a deeply moving experience. I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that stayed with me long after the session ended.
