BIO

 

Following her auto-immune disease diagnosis in 2004, Lydia launched her dedicated pursuit of self-healing in the U.S. and abroad. Beginning at the Tama-Do Academy, she studied with pioneering leader Fabien Maman, regarded as the founding father of vibrational sound therapy.

Lydia deepened her intuitive work by studying closely with Patricia Janusz to unlock the mystery of color healing and Nicole Bertolucci for natural healing magic.

After solidifying her foundational studies, she teamed up with master chime builder Wolfgang Deinert to hone her professional craft and develop her unique skill set. Her refined comprehension of sound frequencies and resonance can be heard when she plays Deinert’s chimes alongside the monochord table and Tibetan bowls. In 2016, Lydia became certified as an Aura-Soma practitioner; a system of color, plant and crystal energies that illuminate one's true colors and help transformation, attain balance and harmony, happiness, and vitality. In 2021, she finished her herbal apprenticeship at Berkeley Herbal center gaining in depth knowledge of herbal and plant spirit medicine. It is then that she discovered her ability to communicate and channel flowers and became a flower essence practitioner. Her affinity for flowers is so strong that they have become her constant allies and guides in her practice. Since 2021, she has offered many people and dogs with this powerful yet gentle non intrusive modality as a form of effective support and remedy .

Today, she alchemizes mediums of sound and color into a uniquely powerful healing practice called “Color Soul” intuitive readings. Apart from her private healing practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lydia leads color and sound workshops, is a guest teacher at Ratna Ling retreat center offering wellness enhancing sound journeys for private group retreats, co-facilitates yoga and sound events, and flower essences consultation. Musically, she is one of the founding members of Savasana Sound, performing group concerts, sound journeys, and recorded albums.
