PATHWAY II: THE PRIVATE VIP RETREAT

Nashville Intensives & Global Residencies

For the leader or visionary who requires a deep, rapid transmutation in a private sanctuary. This 2-3 day intensive is designed to move you from the noise of your life and into the clarity of your anthem. While I anchor my work at Southall and in Nashville’s premier studios, I am available for select private residencies and global immersions upon request.

  • The Alchemical Intensive: 48–72 hours of dedicated somatic clearing and song-channeling.

  • The Experience: A hand-crafted itinerary tailored to your location—whether at your private estate or a curated destination.

  • Legacy Production: The option to culminate your retreat in the studio to capture the high-fidelity frequency of your breakthrough.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Individual Soul Song Journey

Life-changing. It reached places in me that years of therapy couldn’t touch.

— Molly Booker, Soul Song Participant, Author


Retreats

The mic-drop moment of our entire retreat… She exceeded expectations.

— Jennifer Grace, Hay House Author and Coach

I am a Sonic Alchemist, Recording Artist, and guide for the high-performing soul.

My work bridges the gap between the clinical and the creative—from leading collective regulation at The National Cathedral and the Nashville Symphony, to hearing my original music on major networks like CBS.

Whether facilitating for 450 people in a symphony concert hall or one leader in a private intensive, the mission is singular:

To clear the static, anchor your frequency, and amplify the authentic voice you were born to lead with.
