For the gathering that deserves
more than a playlist.
There are moments that need to be held. That need to open something, mark something, close something. A playlist can fill a room. Sound — live, intentional, played by someone who knows how to hold a container — does something entirely different.
Joann creates custom sound experiences for gatherings of all kinds — intimate or expansive, celebratory or contemplative. She brings the same reverence to a backyard gathering of twelve as she does to a full retreat of sixty.
Sound finds its place in every kind of gathering.
Here's where Joann shows up.
Every event is shaped by what the moment actually needs — not a formula, not a fixed set list. Joann reads the room, the occasion, and the people in it, and plays accordingly.
Sound to open a ceremony, mark a vow, or close the evening in a way that lingers. Live sound at a wedding creates an atmosphere no DJ or playlist can replicate — because it's present, responsive, and completely alive to what's happening in the room.
Joann can play during the processional, hold the ceremony space, or close the celebration with a sound journey for the couple and their guests. Every wedding is one of a kind — the sound should be too.
The closing ritual that actually closes something. The opening that drops the room into the body before words are even spoken. Sound is the fastest way to shift a group from their heads to their bodies — which is exactly where a retreat needs people to be.
Joann is available as a featured session within a multi-day retreat, as an opener or closer for a single-day immersion, or as a recurring thread woven throughout a longer program. She travels for retreat settings.
A birthday that marks a real passage deserves more than cake and a playlist. A sound journey for you and the people who love you most is a gift that goes somewhere no dinner reservation can.
Not a party favor. A real experience. A sound bath for a bride and her closest people is the kind of bachelorette activity that nobody forgets — and that actually prepares her for one of the biggest days of her life.
The dinner party that becomes a memory. The gathering that opens with intention instead of small talk. Sound gives a private event a center of gravity that stays with people long after they leave.
A signature sound bath experience for your studio, wellness brand, or community. Joann partners with yoga studios, spas, wellness centers, and community organizations for one-off events and ongoing programming.
Every event starts with a conversation.
Everything else follows from there.
Fill out the inquiry form below. Tell her what the gathering is, what you want the room to feel like, what needs to happen in the space. The more she knows, the more precisely she can shape the sound.
Joann responds to every event inquiry personally. She'll ask the questions that help her understand what the moment actually needs — and share what's possible within your context and budget.
Once Joann understands your event, she puts together a custom proposal — what she'll play, how long, what the experience will look like, and what it costs. No surprises, no guessing.
She arrives early, sets up, and holds the space from the moment guests walk in. What happens in the room is responsive, live, and completely present to your people and your moment.

We had Joann close our retreat and I genuinely don't have words for what she did in that room. Two days of work, and in sixty minutes of sound she wove it all together into something people are still talking about three months later.
We hired Joann for our wedding ceremony and it completely changed the energy of the room. Guests who had never experienced sound healing before said it was the most beautiful part of the whole day. So did we.
I booked Joann for my 50th birthday. Twelve of my closest people, in my living room, for an hour of sound. It was exactly what I wanted — intimate, sacred, and genuinely celebratory all at once.
