MY STORY

The Story
Behind
SoulShine

A story of remembrance, relationship,
and return.

Welcome

I'm so glad you’ve found your way here.

If you’ve landed on this page, perhaps you’re searching for something.

 

Maybe it’s rest…or clarity.

 

Maybe it’s simply a place where you can breathe a little more deeply.

Whatever has brought you here, welcome. It is an honor to share this space with you.

I'm Latoya, a sound practitioner, forest bathing guide, and space holder devoted to creating experiences that bring us back into relationship-with ourselves, the Earth, and the wisdom we carry.

​

SoulShine grew from my own remembering: that healing doesn't always ask us to become something new. Sometimes it asks us to slow down long enough to hear what has been there all along.

"I wasn't  searching for a profession.
I was searching for my way back to myself."

My Story

People often ask how I found sound healing and forest bathing.

The truth is, I wasn’t searching for a profession. I was searching for my way back to myself.

 

During one of the most challenging seasons of my life, I found myself longing for something that felt steady, honest, and deeply alive.

 

What I discovered wasn’t a technique. It was a relationship. It was the quiet wisdom of the forest, and the grounding rhythm of the earth beneath my feet. 

 

It was the way sound could move through my body, softening and transforming places words could never reach.

 

Slowly, I began remembering something I believe many of us have forgotten.

That we were never separate from nature and that we have always belonged to it.

What I Believe

I believe healing begins in relationship.

With ourselves, the Earth, our ancestry, our communities, and all life around us.

I believe sound is more than vibration.

I believe the natural world is one of our oldest teachers.

It is a bridge-to memory, regulation, and the wisdom that lives within us.

The elements remind us of our cyclical nature, our resilience, and our belonging.

I believe ceremony begins with presence.

It doesn't ask us to be anything. It simply asks us to show up, listen, and honor what is here.

My Approach

Every Soulshine experience begins with listening.

Before sound is ever played…before we ever step foot on a forest trail…before ceremony begins…

I listen. To your story, your intentions, and to the season of life you are moving through.

Together, we create an experience that honors exactly where you are.

Some journeys may call for the grounding presence of the forest. Others may be supported through sound, elemental practices, quiet reflection, or shared ceremony.

​

Rather than following a fixed formula, I allow each experience to unfold in relationship with the person, the place and the moment itself.

 

Because no two journeys are ever the same.

My Hope

I hope that through this work, you feel a little more at home in your body, a little more connected to Earth, and a little more confident in the wisdom that already lives within you.

 

My hope is not for you to leave one of my experiences believing I healed you, but for you to leave remembering your own capacity for healing.

 

Not to become the place where you escape your life, but to help you discover practices and relationships that continue long after our time together.

 

My hope is that the forest becomes a trusted companion, sound becomes a familiar language, and moments of ceremony begin to find their way into your everyday life.
