Our Story: Finding Wholeness Through Sound
We are Daniel and Elysia. Our paths to becoming healers began not from a place of mastery, but from a shared need for profound healing.
For Daniel, it was a lingering weight—emotions like fear and grief that even deep energy work couldn't fully shift. That changed at his first sound healing. As the vibrations moved through him, they reached a place words could not, allowing locked-away feelings to finally release. In that moment, he learned that healing could be a surrender to resonance, a lesson that now guides every session he facilitates.
For Elysia, it was a "Dark Night of the Soul"—a landscape of grief where words and logic failed. Sound became her translator. Mantras gave her a sonic spine. Wordless music narrated her inner world. Medicine songs made her feel accompanied in her pain. Vibration by vibration, sound re-membered her, transforming isolation into deep connection and showing her that our wounds can become the very frequency that tunes us into others.
Our paths converged through this understanding: that sound is a loyal friend in the dark and a direct path to the self. We are two healers who were made whole by vibration, and we created Tirakuna to offer that same possibility to you.
In our sessions, we don't just play instruments; we hold a sacred, nurturing space. We combine the grounding power of Reiki with the transformative resonance of sound and the heart-opening grace of ceremonial cacao. Our approach, rooted in both Peruvian and European traditions, is designed to help you release what is heavy, remember what is beautiful, and reconnect to your own inner peace.
We invite you to join us, to surrender to the journey, and to discover the profound healing that awaits when you allow yourself to resonate.
Elysia
Elysia is a holistic healer whose work arises from the alchemy of profound personal healing and dedicated training. She is a qualified Reiki healer, Masseuse, SoulNar Practitioner and initiated in the sacred arts of the Dieta traditions under the Asháninka lineage of the Peruvian Amazon. Her approach is further informed by years of experience in music development—through choir and singing lessons—and shaped by her personal experience as the wounded healer working with vibration, somatics, and plants.
Her deep, personal journey through sound and ceremony—from mantra to medicine music—transformed her own isolation into connection, forming the compassionate core of her work. This lived wisdom, integrated with her extensive background as a mental health social worker, allows her to create uniquely safe and transformative spaces where ancient traditions meet modern therapeutic understanding for true holistic restoration.
Daniel
Daniel is a dedicated healer whose path is shaped by both deep training and profound personal discovery. He is a qualified Reiki Master, an accredited SoulNar Practitione and an initiated practitioner in the sacred arts of the Dieta traditions under the Asháninka lineage of the Peruvian Amazon. His approach is further informed by his years as a certified trainer, which he skillfully integrates to create clear, empowering workshops. For Daniel, true mastery comes from the synergy of ancient wisdom and lived experience, allowing him to guide others with grounded presence and intuitive clarity on their journeys to wholeness.
