Shara Gardner has been an intrepid explorer in the field of sound and vocal attunement through her work with both individuals and groups. As a sound healer, she initiates a path into the expanded dimensions that are accessed through a deep vocal journey. Inspired by shamanic music, rhythms, movement and wisdom traditions that honor Earth elements, the power of the Four Directions, the unlimited consciousness of water, cosmic connections and the interconnectedness of All Beings, she reveals the appropriate sound paths to aid in healing and transformation. She works to help individuals become harmonically tuned and in-resonance with all life, as they become entrained to natural rhythms. The results are a greater ability to express from authenticity and restored passion, a new sense of creativity and greatly expanded inner vision. She also works to transform physical illness, chronic pain and emotional blocks through her healing practice called Therapeutic Sound Integration™, a protocol she has evolved through research and psychic guidance.
Therapeutic Sound Integration relates to the physical body, emotional conditions, and spiritual awareness. This process is the result of research and study, culminating in a synthesis of teachings from all realms of sound from the scientific to the shamanic, from natural sound to electronica, claiming no adherance to a specific healing tradition or method.
As a sound therapist, Shara's compassionate and gentle manner assure that each person she works with will acquire useful effective tools for transformation and healing through sound, water frequencies and the voice.

The root of the verb "to heal" means "to make whole." Through our re-orientation to the natural world, we can return to wholeness by re-invigorating our sound-print which is relavant and integral in the web of life. When we listen, observe, understand, and exchange our sound energy with wild nature, we realize that all life wisdom has been available to us – hidden in plain sight – in the sounds of the animals, oceans, rivers, forests, deserts, mountains, rocks, the air, the earth, and the sun – all of which are part of us and serve as teachers/healers. I hear the myriad sounds of life around us and channel messages for the benefit of All. Wat, however, is the element that speaks to me the clearest and most frequently. Through the voice of water, an element that runs through all other manifestations of life, I hear the many voices sharing wisdom and guidance that I am able to translate into song and music, as well as channeled written-word contributions. As a spirit muse and communicator, I work with sound and water as the foundation for all the healing work I offer.
Harmony is the source of manifestation, the cause of its existence, and the medium between God and man....
All male and female, beast and bird, vegetable and rock – all classes of things and beings – are linked together and attracted to each other with a chord of harmony. If one being or thing, however apparently useless, were missing in this universe of endless variety, it would be as it were a note missing in a song.
