Background:
Shanice’s journey into sound healing grew naturally from her passion for caring for women, mothers, and families. Through supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and recovery, she witnessed first-hand how deeply our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing are connected. Those experiences inspired her to explore sound healing as another way of supporting people through life’s different seasons.
Her approach is shaped not only by sound, but also by walking alongside people during some of their most vulnerable and transformative moments.
As a mother of two, she understands that life is rarely perfect or predictable. This has taught her to value presence over perfection, and to create spaces where people feel genuinely cared for, accepted, and supported just as they are.
Her hope is that every participant leaves feeling a little lighter, a little more grounded, and gently reminded that wherever they are today is simply one part of their journey
What first drew you to sound therapy, meditation or contemplative practice?
Looking back, I don’t think I was searching for sound healing. I was searching for another way to care for people.
While focused on caring for the physical body, I gradually realised that many people also longed for something less tangible a space where they could simply slow down, breathe, and feel cared for without expectation.
When I experienced sound healing for the first time, something quietly resonated within me. I noticed my emotions softening and my body feeling less tense. More than the sounds themselves, it was the feeling of pausing long enough to reconnect with a version of myself that felt calmer, lighter, and more present.
That experience inspired me to begin learning, and since then, sound healing has become another way for me to support people with the same intention that has always guided my work—to offer gentle care, hold space with compassion, and gently remind people that there is always room for hope.
Why does creating space for rest and awareness feel important today?
I believe creating space for rest and awareness has never been more important because so many of us spend our days caring for others, meeting expectations, and moving from one responsibility to the next. We become so focused on doing that we rarely pause to ask ourselves how we’re really feeling.
Through my work supporting women and families, I’ve seen how even a small moment of genuine rest can make a meaningful difference. When someone feels calmer, more supported, or simply has the opportunity to pause without needing to give anything to anyone else, they often return to their everyday life with greater patience, clarity, and compassion.
To me, rest isn’t about escaping from life or doing nothing. It’s about creating enough space to care for ourselves so that we can continue caring for the people and things that matter most. Sometimes, giving ourselves permission to pause is one of the kindest things we can do not only for ourselves, this small shift can ripple into the lives of the people around us.
What do you invite participants to experience during your sessions?
I hope participants experience something that has become increasingly rare in everyday life—the feeling of being able to simply receive.
For one hour, there is nothing to achieve, no one else to care for, and nothing expected of them. They are invited to breathe, rest, listen, and allow the experience to unfold naturally in their own way.
If they leave feeling a little more connected to themselves, a little more hopeful, or simply knowing they gave themselves permission to pause, then I feel the session has served its purpose.
What does “a space to simply be” mean to you?
For a little while, you can simply breathe, rest, and allow yourself to slow down without feeling guilty for doing so. I believe those moments are precious because they remind us that we don’t have to earn rest, or wait until everything is “better” before we care for ourselves.
How do you cultivate moments of presence or rest in your daily life?
My days are often beautifully unpredictable. I’ve learnt that presence doesn’t always come from perfectly planned routines. More often, it is found in small, intentional moments woven throughout everyday life.
Most mornings begin with speaking words of gratitude over my first glass of water, enjoying a cup of matcha or coffee, or reading for a little while. Other days, it simply means accepting that I need to skip my routine and head straight to a client.
One practice I return to every day is gratitude. Reminding myself that it’s another beautiful day gently shifts my perspective and influences how I show up—for myself, my family, and the people I care for. I believe it’s a lifelong journey learning to find joy in the beautifully imperfect rhythm of everyday life.
