About Adriane

Meet Adriane, a radiant force hailing from the heart of New Jersey. By day, she's a dynamic elementary school educator, shaping young minds with the principles of growth mindset and resilience. As the sun sets, she transforms into a recovery speaker, weaving tales of triumph over personal challenges. Dive deeper into the tapestry of her expertise, and you'll discover a Reiki Master Teacher and Akashic Record Reader, guiding others on the path to divine love. She holds certifications in meditation and gong mastery, offering a symphony of mindfulness to those seeking a harmonious life. 

Adriane's journey has reshaped her life’s narrative of overcoming personal shadows, a testament to her commitment as a Trauma-Informed Practitioner. But that's not all—she taps into the cosmic realms as a gifted psychic medium, specializing in the exploration of past lives. Adriane is more than a practitioner; she's a storyteller, a guide, and a fellow traveler on the path of self-discovery.

But what sets Adriane apart is her commitment to profound inner work. She has fearlessly confronted her ancestral, past life, and childhood traumas through extensive shadow work. This deep exploration has allowed her to break down limiting beliefs that once held her back, emerging as a resilient and empowered practitioner. Through the alchemy of her own transformative journey, Adriane has become a powerful space holder for those who join her in ceremony.

As a Reiki Master Teacher, she has spent years cultivating her connection with divine love. Her expertise extends to certified meditation instruction, ongoing pursuit of a 200hr YTT certification, and mastery of the gong—tools she uses to sprinkle mindfulness magic and build lives worth living. Rooted in her experience with the DBT model, Adriane is committed to trauma-informed practices, guiding individuals to open up to safety and relationships through community and therapy.

In addition to her healing work, Adriane volunteers with Project HEAL, leading the Project HEAL NJ Chapter to spread awareness about eating disorders and lasting recovery. She believes in the possibility of full recovery for everyone and emphasizes the importance of unique life journeys in shaping personal identity.

Beyond her transformative work, Adriane is a gifted psychic medium specializing in past life readings. With a sprinkle of cosmic flair, she collaborates with ancestors and spirit guides to offer insights and guidance that transcend the ordinary.

When not immersed in the spiritual realm, Adriane finds joy in life's simple pleasures—working in the garden with her wife, playing with her pets, and finding color inspiration in art galleries. Her favorite yoga class is yoga nidra, and she has a soft spot for crocheting blankets. Greece and Ireland remain her cherished vacation spots.

Join Adriane on a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth where you’ll experience the power of sound, mindfulness, divine love, and cosmic guidance as she shares the lessons learned from your past lives. She not only creaes a space where transformation is not just possible but inevitable.

About Anita

Meet Anita, a seasoned practitioner in the spiritual realm, offering a unique blend of holistic practices. Much like many others, she's a Reiki Master Teacher, viewing Reiki as a gateway to expanding spiritual practices. As a 200hr certified meditation teacher, Gong Master, and a 200hr YTT candidate, Anita advocates for a balanced approach, integrating spiritual guidance with talk therapy from licensed professionals.

Anita's journey into the spiritual realm began with a profound awakening during her teenage years, navigating through an intense period that sparked her spiritual growth. This transformative experience cultivated resilience and led her to embrace her intuitive gifts, becoming attuned to her five clair abilities. In a playful twist of fate, Anita often jokes that she'd make a terrific candidate as a CIA agent, her intuitive prowess a secret weapon in navigating the hidden dimensions of existence.

Anita has a vast spectrum of human experiences, embodies the Reflector personality. Her journey into self-discovery unfolded as she navigated the delicate balance between being an empath and embracing her role as a Reflector. In her early 20s, Anita harnessed the transformative power of her Reflective nature, mastering the art of adapting to and mirroring the energies around her.

Unlike traditional empaths, Anita, as a Reflector, possesses an unparalleled ability to be everything and anything she desires, serving as a mirror to the world. Stepping into corporate boardrooms, she leaves crowds spellbound, a testament to her adaptability and the magic within her open energy field. Anita's wisdom lies in discerning between toxic and elevating energies, creating boundaries to safeguard her well-being. Her journey reflects a profound understanding that her power emanates from embracing the fluidity of her identity, resisting labels, and gracefully navigating the ever-changing currents of life.

Anita is no stranger to the pitfalls of spiritual communities, having witnessed various forms of gaslighting. With a keen awareness, she is on a mission to bring genuine light into the often toxic space of "light and love" that has permeated spiritual circles for years. Beyond the traditional roles, Anita is your neighborhood plant witch, inviting you to join her during plant-infused ceremonies where the magic of plants and beverages converges.

Delving deeper, Anita connects with dragon energy, fostering a serene and grounded presence. A true "feeler," she gracefully maneuvers through life, guided by the powerful dragon within. If you've experienced her Reiki, you've felt the soothing warmth—a testament to the dragon's healing influence.

Anita approaches sound healing with a scientific perspective, considering it a vital element in her belief system. She guides participants through different states of consciousness, aiming to provide profound relaxation and inner wisdom. Sound healing, for Anita, is not just a modality; it's a guide into profound states of relaxation. She seeks to help participants calm their nervous systems, fostering a steady sense of calm in their personal lives.

Anita's philosophy centers on self-empowerment and the creative potential of the mind. As a Claircognizant and dragon spirit summoner, she shares her energy to guide others on a sonic journey of self-discovery and healing.

Beyond her healing work, Anita finds solace in Celtic Rock and Nordic Folk melodies. Thriving without being handcuffed to our modern digital world, you can find her sitting in stillness, listening to the trees, and being ever-present in her everyday life, cherishing the small moments of joy with her family and pets. Her partnership with Adriane, marked by the gifting of a singing bowl, ignited a transformative journey that continues to resonate.

Building a Better World

Adriane & Anita's ongoing dedication to training and education has blossomed into the creation of a non-profit known as the NJ Sound Healers Collective. Their vision is to foster a community where fellow sound practitioners in New Jersey can unite to share their passion for sound healing, reaching even more people. Beyond seeking community, they aspire to cultivate a harmonious space where individuals can come together as one, extending the transformative power of sound healing to those in need.
