Our Biographies
Claudia Van Buren
I have been a Professional Vocalist for most of my adult life. I travelled the world rocking people’s hearts, while having a lot of amazing experiences. My touring life came to a halt when serious illness stopped me in my tracks. It took time to recover, because I had to go through a major psycho-emotional shift to bring me back into balance. Part of my healing process involved using my voice/sound as a therapy to adjust to my new way of being. When I get asked "How's your voice after cancer?" I reply, "It's ok, an octave lower. I am grateful to be alive"
My lightbulb moment concerning voice/sound therapy occurred at a crucial point in my rehabilitation process, and I discovered that Voice/Sound affects us in many ways. My mindful, non judgemental approach to using the voice and sound as healing resources subtly activates a process of rebalancing in your life, which is powerful and highly transformative. My Sound/Voice workshops are dynamic, fun, challenging, enlightening, and life changing.

Heather H. Berse
Having worked in top advertising agencies in New York City and Los Angeles, I understand the madness of the workplace, how the unquiet mind can interfere with strategic problem solving, creativity and team functioning. Believe me, I’ve lived all this at first hand and it has led me to develop and adopt techniques to calm the restless mind and thrive in all aspects of life.
A few years ago, I told my husband that I was going to die early due to stress, and I was serious. I knew I had to make a change. My trip to India was a turning point in my life, and my eyes were opened. I felt empowered to live life with greater ease because I decided that I was ready to shift. I am proud to share the tools that I used to help me move through my rapid transformation. Yes, rapid because I was able to make my biggest shifts all in under one year. And believe that you can too! Time is on your side.
I’m certified as an advanced teacher in Meditation and Yogic Lifestyle with Yoga Alliance, and also as a teacher of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. My meditation studies have led me to India, Italy, New York and Los Angeles. People tell me that they find me supportive and encouraging and that working with me has helped them deal with stress, anxiety and negative thinking.

Dirish Shaktidas
Working in Fashion and Design was one of the most stressful times of my life. The only thing I turned to help me was drugs, and even that the soul damaging stress. This caused to loose hair and become heavily stressed in my body.
I had to take three months off to return back to feeling myself again. It was through my discovery yoga, meditation and nutrition that helped to me to alter my lifestyle so I could back out into the world with a new, vibrant attitude.
Through my yoga journey of transformation, I empower my clients to deal head on with stress and anxiety as there is always a way through every block. This has created opportunities which has allowed me to share my wealth of knowledge through my international retreats throughout the United Kingdom, India, Bali and Greece.
