laurette Sebastienne
BIOGRAPHY
My name is Laurette, I have always had a passion for musical arts; from my days performing in youth choirs to punk rock bands in the vibrant live music scene of the 90s in Los Angeles and beyond, musical experimentation and performance art have been a formative part of my life path. As music is so expansively visceral, I dove into the study of the body energy system, becoming a Reiki Master Teacher and rehabilitative massage therapist and bodyworker. As my interests grew and shifted to the visual and healing arts, I formally studied both while earning my bachelors degree at St Catherine University in St Paul and at the Marchutz School of Painting and Drawing in Aix-en-Provence, France and under incredible mentors and teachers.
Ultimately, I was able to merge my artistic expressions with my healing arts work in the somatic healing spaces I create as a holistic health and wellbeing coach. My work involves the use of a range of sound therapy instruments. I use recorded music, tuning forks, bowls, bells, rattles, drums, chimes, and vocals. I currently work as a holistic health coach and intuitive healer in private practice while raising two teens and a very spirited husky.
I met G while we were studying Tibetan Medicine / Ayurveda in Dharamshala, India while working on our graduate degrees at the University of Minnesota. While in classes, and wandering the foothills of the himalayan mountains, we found a shared love of cultural studies, good conversation, natural health care, the healing properties of stones, yoga, music and sound therapy, and of course healing work. We have been working on sound therapy offerings since we were in India testing out Tibetan singing bowls in a tiny shop with Taj, a singing bowl connoisseur and fellow music lover, who sold us our first Tibetan bowls and patiently allowed us to experiment to our hearts’ content.
