Our Story
wondrousound is a holistic platform born from a life in music, law and social justice advocacy that led me deep into mindfulness and the yoga of sound.
In 2016, I received a national award for outstanding advocacy, toured a new album, and burnt out in the same year. I’d spent years pushing beyond my limits to “achieve change” and my body-mind was fried. I began questioning the way we live and work, and found another way through yoga, mindfulness and the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh who said:
“What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply.”
Instinct led me to Plum Village Mindfulness Practice Centre, where I began to let go of old patterns and allow a more authentic way of being to emerge. I began to explore sound more deeply as a practice of meditation and trained with teachers in mindfulness, yoga and sound.
Over time, this became wondrousound: a body of work exploring how we can come back into harmony with ourselves, one another and the world around us. Together, we can create the conditions for a more conscious, connected and collaborative future, discovering new ways of living and working together for the benefit of all.

Mindfulness, Collaboration & Collective Wellbeing
A decade of mindfulness practice in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has profoundly shaped my work. Alongside my own transformation, I have led sound sessions and service-based mindfulness practices at retreats such as Wake Up, Rain Retreats, and Coming Home to Mother Earth. I spent two years living and practising at Plum Village, and later worked alongside monastics for three years, supporting communication and collaboration across our global network. I have also facilitated training and capacity-building initiatives within the community, focusing on safeguarding and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), to support the growth and flourishing of collective wellbeing. In 2025, I was ordained into the Order of Interbeing, taking the Bodhisattva vow as a commitment to mindful, ethical, and engaged living.
