Arula is a songwriter, sound-healer, embodied movement guide, & electronic music producer who values music & movement as sacred expressions of a universal language; a language that unites and empowers us. She views expression as a path to awakening; a sacred gateway to exploring the different parts of ourselves, the light & the shadow, exploring duality as a path toward unity.

She brings the fluidity of sound & movement into her offerings; often blending ritual dance with intuitive movement and Qigong to free the spirit and deepen the connection to the subtle energy of the body.

She has been taught by many celebrated teachers in the community such as; sound & breath-work under JD (The Power of Conscious Singing,) Amber Field (Free your Voice,) and John Beaulieu (Biosonics). She received her 200hr YTT with Dana Damara in 2016 and has also taken various courses with teachers such as Janet Stone, Ana Forest, Roger Jahnke (Qi Cultivation & Mastery), Michelle Baker (Reiki, Swan River) Abigail Tyler, and studied yoga & meditation in Kerala, India.

She currently resides in between both LA and San Francisco where she shares her love of music, facilitates events, and offers individualized sessions utilizing sound & energy medicine.

I received the Reiki/Soundbath treatment with Arula. Instantly I felt very welcomed and at ease in her studio. I had a few moments to sit in her garden under the sun and ground before our session. I loved that thoughtful touch. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able fall into such a deep relaxed state, as it is not always easy for me with new providers, but Arula was amazing at setting the energy and helping me to feel safe under her guidance. I felt very protected and you can feel how knowledgeable she is in creating this healing environment. I booked another session and am looking forward to going back regularly.

The sound and reiki healing that Arula provided me was really amazing and needed. The space was very comfortable and calm. The combination of different instruments, voice, aromas, verbal messages and energy work helped me to feel and release stress and grief that I had been carrying. I felt nurished and ready to move forward after our time together. Thank you so much for your healing!

I recently received a reiki/sound healing session with Arula. Pure nourishment. She has such a calming presence, creates a relaxing and safe container, and is deeply attuned to what is needed in each moment. She is a talented guide and pulls from her unique array of modalities to anchor you back to body and source. The downloads came streaming in, what needed to be released was, and I walked out of our session with feelings of knowing, trust, and safety. Thank you for sharing your gifts with this world Arula. I appreciate you and will most certainly return!
