What People Have to Say About Barbara Dametto's Offerings:
I experienced Shaluha-Ka with Barbara for the first time, not knowing much about it … and I loved it! Barbara told me what to expect and what this session was about, and helped me write an intention to carry through the 90 minutes. We enjoyed the delicious cacao she had prepared for us, and I selected two totem animal cards whose energy would be part of my intention. As my session progressed, I felt very calm and at peace, as Barbara laid gemstones on select points of my body. I had flashes of insight with some and just felt quietly empowered with others. I was grateful for Barbara’s soothing voice throughout, and when we were done, I felt very grounded. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to experience all the beautiful tools Barbara uses (which also include sound therapy).

Barbara`s Shaluha-Ka healing and meditation session is pure magic. She has carefully crafted this ceremony to include practices that drop you into your heart and open you up so you can receive all the healing goodies she offers. Under her powerful yet gentle guidance, I was taken on a journey that began with delicious cacao and spirit animals, made its way to gemstone placements on the body connected to the Tree of Life, and was followed by a beautiful cleansing of the Elements. All of this links you to the intention set at the beginning of the practice. Barbara`s ability to create a safe, comfortable and truly caring container allows you to sink into the journey. My heart was open and truly touched throughout; I was brought to a peaceful, blissful space with the meditation and this relaxation allowed me to connect with my intention deeply. I am beyond grateful for this.

If you are considering taking the Sound Healing Practitioners Course, follow that thought and do it! This course is much more than you can expect to learn and experience in one weekend. Barbara is inspiring, full of knowledge, wise in her words and her silence, warm, and generous. I travelled from Prince Edward Island to join this course and will come again in a heartbeat!

Participating in the Sound Healing Practitioners Course provided a great overview of creating a sound journey. We were introduced to many of the instruments that one can use in combination. Gaining interesting insights into the science of sound was a bonus. Barbara is passionate, articulate, and educated through her rich experiences. She brings forward her teachings in an inclusive, experiential, and clear way.

Barbara has studied and practised various expressive arts disciplines for decades. I deeply respect how Barbara’s life experiences inform her work and undergird how she facilitates sessions. Whether guiding a yoga class, leading a dance session, facilitating an explorative art session, or making therapeutic sound for others, her sessions are enlivened and ensouled with compassion, kindness, and encouragement to explore boldly or mindfully. As I know from personal experience, Barbara is also a conscientious and dynamic collaborator.

I received a sound healing session with Barbara where she used her gongs and crystal bowls. The session took me to a very deep state of relaxation/sleep. It took a while to get back into my body and get off the floor. Once I got home, I realized I needed to rest. The rest expanded into 16 hours of sleep! Thanks, Barbara for this session that helped me realize the level of exhaustion that I needed to surrender to. That stretch of rest allowed healing to occur.

I attended a sound healing and also received one-on-one instruction from Barbara. She has a deep understanding of alternative healing modalities and she shares this in a fun, easy-going way that can be appreciated and understood by anyone. It was my first sound healing and Barbara's session felt sacred and magical. Everything in me was vibrating peacefully with everything around me. With the private instruction, Barbara listened to what I was looking for and she crafted the classes to fit my needs. I could see how much thought and planning went into each session before I arrived. This, along with her vast experience, allowed for the sessions to unfold smoothly and with precision. In addition to her vast knowledge and being a master of her craft, Barbara has soft human qualities that make the experience easy and fun. She's laid back, humble, and a good listener. It's about you and the knowledge, not about her. You can see how important it is to her that you are learning and growing. Barbara, thanks so much for your help and your teachings. You have blessed and enriched my life and I look forward to seeing you and learning from you again

She has a refined intuitive ability to know what soundings have the greatest healing effect on participants. I highly recommend her sessions.

All of Barbara Dametto shows up as she delivers yoga lessons that never fail to engage students in an in-depth journey through yoga tradition and philosophy. In 20 years as a yoga student, I have rarely encountered a teacher who is so inspired by the very spirit of yoga! Her class is an experience that is both deeply personal and universal. Truly a life-affirming experience!

I had the pleasure of working with Barbara through her six-week program: Creating and Living from Wholeness. Each class explored a different modality (yoga, breath, sound, meditation, and mask making) tailored to my unique goals and needs. The classes were thoughtful, well-put-together, fun, and meaningful. Barbara provided a warm, safe space for me to experience profound growth and healing! I am a different woman from having taken this course. I would highly recommend any of Barbara's offerings!

​
Barbara's sound healing of many instruments felt thoroughly restful, rejuvenating, and nourishing. I felt myself, traveling with the sound waves inward to feel a deep sense of peace and tranquillity, also facilitating more awareness of myself in vibrational ways. They also took me outward to experience an expansive sense of space and possibility.

I am greatly benefiting from Barbara’s yoga classes both privately and on Zoom. Her years of experience in yoga, breathwork, dance, and the study of movement, give her the keen ability to adapt the poses to support my particular physical challenges. Through her classes, I am regaining my physical strength and learning how to trust the wisdom in my own body.

Barbara Dametto's sound journeys are amazing! I would highly recommend going to one. Switch up your self-care practice this month and let her take you on a journey!
Sonja DenElzen
​
My daughter and I together recently received one of Barbara's sound healings. We each lay comfortably cocooned in a cozy blanket and were bathed in the sound vibrations of many musical instruments. It was a deeply relaxing, meditative, sonic journey, which I highly recommend. I have also witnessed Barbara in action as a co-presenter at a meditation retreat. I found her to be engaging, caring, and able to create and hold space skillfully.
Robin Grant

I did a Mala workshop in Barbara's studio and it was a wonderful experience. Barbara's space is inviting and calm. She's so creative and gives so much thought and wisdom to what she teaches.
Michelle Whittaker
​
Although I was a little unsure of what to expect from Barbara's sound healing experience, I was completely delighted and amazed by the journey. We began by discussing the significance of the Chakras, and then I spent the next hour immersed in the most relaxing experience of my life. As she played different instruments, I went into a deep sleep where I experienced a dream state that offered complete peace. I've returned to do it again and I highly recommend it as a gift to yourself or someone else.
Crista Renner
​
I had a restorative and nurturing sound healing session with Barbara. She took the time to hear where I was at and inform me of what to expect in the process. I felt safe and supported by her presence. I was soon wrapped in a sound cocoon as she played beautiful music to support my restoration.
Angela Herzog
​
Barbara is an amazing yoga instructor. I have enjoyed her classes very much. I really like the way she combines yoga with sound healing and meditation. It is a unique and very powerful session. Also, I did a shamanic sound journey, a chakra numerology reading, and an essential oil perfume workshop with Barbara and they were all great experiences!
Marcella Riveros
​
I felt very relaxed and at peace the day after my sound healing session. I've been sleeping well and finding it hard to get out of bed (I normally don't feel this way). My body and mind are finally relaxed after being in a state of constant anxiety for so long. Highly recommend this amazing experience. Be open to it and you will receive wonderful, healing benefits.
