Mari's Bio:

Mari has been a sound healing practitioner since 1991. She apprenticed with Sound Healer K. Bach for more than 14 years, has written for one of the members of the Cirque du Soleil's solo show in Las Vegas, as well as sung harmonic vocals on CD "Book of Alchemy," featured in Keyboard Magazine, and the soundtrack for an MTV Animation Festival. Mari has also performed with Eva Stokes in Kaliuga, the Ideals, Sabrina Sayed, and with one of the members from the band, "The Residents." She also worked for a year or two with Aretha Franklin's backup singer, Geraldine.

Mari has an extensive background in Alternative Medicine. She has served as the medical Intuitive for Dr. Daniel Reeves, D.C., N. D., D.D., Phd. for 9 plus years where she helped to diagnose patients in his practice as well as treat them. She also has studied Energy Medicine Modalities: Total Body Modification (Energetic Chiropractic) and Matrix Energetics 1, 2, & 3. She has Certification in all of these modalities. Mari has a Certification to teach Kunlun Nei Gung or the Kunlun System, Taoist Internal Alchemy, and has been accredited to instruct Taoist Internal Meditation Techniques since 2011.

She has been working with Sacred Sound & Healing for 25+ years.

Originally gifted a spontaneous form of movement meditation that came to her after attending a traditional indigenous "ghost dance" in 1992, she plunged into her own in-depth internal study of these mysteries, and her own moon cycle following a spontaneous Kundalini awakening. She spent many years developing a relationship to this work in private. In 2008, she had a Spiritual Awakening and is currently deepening the embodiment of that awakening.

She currently teaches meditation and provides Sacred Therapeutic Sound for transformation, health and stress relief.  She is also a circle co-facilitator for the Indigenous Women of Europe / Four Worlds Europe and part of the Pre-Council of Indigenous Elders.  Four Worlds Europe fosters Indigenous Wisdom, peace and harmony among all nations and peoples, and is dedicated to care-taking the Earth and the generations to come for the good of all.
