Rooted in Personal Experience
​
Rasa's own healing journey began in childhood, where music became his refuge from an abusive home. As he delved into spirituality, he realized the powerful connection between music and inner healing. With degrees in healthcare, Rasa observed the influence of thoughts and perspective on overall wellness, leading him to explore meditation, spirituality, and music for spiritual cultivation.
​
Healing Journey
​
Rasa's desire for service led him into healthcare where he earned degrees in respiratory therapy and nursing. As a healthcare worker, he discovered the relationship between wellness and internal conflict. He noticed how much perspective and thoughts influence body chemistry. Rasa was often frustrated with the superficial approach and limitations of western medicine. "In western medicine we mostly treat symptoms. Rarely do we address the root causes of suffering", Rasa explains. Searching for answers, both professionally and personally, Rasa journeyed to India where he stayed in temples, studying meditation, spirituality, and music related to spiritual cultivation. Rasa's interest in spirituality and music continued and he created a kirtan (chanting) band, Jivatma, and ended up playing mostly for small gigs and festivals. After many years, Rasa left the healthcare industry and devoted himself fully to his life long dream of music and healing.
​
Embarking on a Lifelong Dream
​
Driven by his passion for music and healing, Rasa left the healthcare industry and dedicated himself fully to his lifelong dream. Drawing from shamanic initiations, ancient wisdom, and his intuitive gifts, he now offers private sound healing sessions, shamanic (shadow work) sessions, and retreats on the enchanting island of Maui.

Sound Healer & Somatic Therapist
Sara Thom
Sarah is a trauma-informed Sound Healing Practitioner and somatic recovery coach based in Makawao, Maui. She is the co-owner of Maui Sound Healing, where she offers immersive sound experiences designed to support emotional release, energetic realignment, and nervous system regulation. Her sound journeys—featuring Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and vocal toning—are deeply informed by her understanding of the body, trauma, and sensory processing.
​
Sarah is also the founder of Mana Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching, where she specializes in supporting individuals on their path to healing from eating disorders, body image struggles, and developmental trauma. Her coaching is deeply rooted in nervous system science—using Somatic Experiencing techniques, Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and sensory integration to gently guide clients toward safety, embodiment, and self-trust.
Sound is a powerful ally in Sarah’s work—not just as a healing modality on its own, but as a tool that complements somatic therapy. She skillfully uses sound to support sensory regulation, restore vagal tone, and help clients access preverbal states of healing that talk therapy alone cannot reach. Whether through rhythm, vibration, or tone, sound becomes a bridge between the body and the unconscious, helping to unlock stuck patterns and invite deep rest and repair.
With a background in nursing and over a decade in the healing arts, Sarah brings clinical insight, intuitive care, and embodied presence to every session. Her work honors the intelligence of the body and the sacredness of each person’s healing path.
​
She is passionate about helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom, regulate their nervous systems, and rediscover a sense of peace, safety, and wholeness—through sound, through sensation, and through compassion.
