Shirley is a sound healer and teacher with YogaRenew. Her path into sound healing began through music and a personal interest in deepening her meditation practice. After discovering that crystal bowls helped her feel immediately more relaxed and calmer in daily life, she became curious about how sound impacts the body, what happens to the brain when listening to specific frequencies, and how to guide others into the healing benefits of sound.
Her teaching emphasizes that sound healing is an inclusive modality with roots in every culture, encouraging students to draw on their own cultural history as they develop their practice. She leads YogaRenew’s Sound Healing course, covering the history, science, ethics, and core instruments of the practice, alongside guided sound baths.
