About Us
Vision
To create a world where emotional clarity is cultivated like a practice, not treated like a problem—and where sound becomes a path to self-awareness, empowerment, and healing.
Mission
To offer a culturally grounded, sound-based approach to emotional wellness— supporting individuals in building emotional awareness, resilience, and expression through intentional listening and ancient Sikh sound practices.
Values
Listening as Empowerment- We hold listening as a courageous and liberating act. By tuning inward with compassion, individuals reclaim agency over their emotional experiences.
Sound as a Tool, Not a Treatment- We use sound and voice intentionally—not as therapy, but as a self-led practice to help emotions move, settle, and make themselves known.
You Are Already Whole- Our approach affirms that people are not broken or in need of fixing. We offer support—not solutions—so individuals can grow at their own pace, on their own terms.
Who we are
-
At The Listening Mind, we believe true strength begins within.
Just as the physical body requires movement to stay healthy, the emotional and mental body also needs intentional care and training. Our work is rooted in the proactive development of listening—a practice of turning inward with compassion to notice, understand, and express what lives inside you. This act of listening is both courageous and liberating—it is how we reclaim agency over our emotional experience.
We draw from the ancient wisdom of Naad Yoga and the timeless teachings of Guru Nanak, offering a culturally grounded, sound-based approach to emotional well-being. Here, sound is not a treatment—it is a companion. We use voice and vibration intentionally, as tools to help emotions move, settle, and become known.
At The Listening Mind, we don’t diagnose or heal—we empower. We believe you are already whole. Rather than fixing, we support. Our guidance creates space for self-awareness, emotional resilience, and authentic expression to unfold—on your terms, at your pace.
Through deep listening and sound, we help cultivate a supportive internal environment—one where your emotional and mental bodies are exercised, strengthened, and balanced. Our vision is a world where emotional clarity is practiced, not pathologized—and where people reclaim their voice, rhythm, and emotional sovereignty.
This is your space to listen, feel, and grow—one vibration at a time.

At The Listening Mind, we offer a range of sound-based and self-inquiry practices to support your emotional and mental well-being.
We begin with a free 30-minute consultation—a space to explore whether this approach aligns with your needs and goals. From there, you can choose from a variety of one-on-one sessions designed to meet you where you are:
Emotional Coaching
Grounded in the wisdom of ancient India, our emotional coaching sessions take a holistic approach to understanding your inner world. Through self-inquiry, reflective dialogue, and timeless perspectives on human emotion, you'll learn to build emotional clarity, resilience, and expression. This is not therapy—it’s a guided path to reconnect with your own inner knowing.Sound Healing
An immersive, experience-based session where sound becomes a mirror for your emotions. These sessions help you listen to your inner world, navigate through what arises, and express it through vocal or instrumental sound. You don’t need to learn techniques—just come as you are and let the experience guide you.Naad Yoga Practices
Similar to sound healing, these sessions also invite deep listening and vocal expression—but with a slower, more intentional pace. You’ll explore foundational Naad Yoga exercises and receive tools to gradually develop your own self-led practice. The goal is to help you build confidence and autonomy in using sacred sound as a pathway to emotional strength and inner clarity.
All offerings are flexible and can be tailored to your rhythm and readiness. Whether you're just beginning or deepening your journey, this is a space where your emotional sovereignty is honored.
We also offer a Naad Yoga Teacher Training Program—available both online and in person—for those ready to deepen their relationship with sound and guide others along the path.
Come as you are. Leave with tools to listen more deeply, express more fully, and live more freely.

At The Listening Mind, we bring over 20 years of combined experience in Sikh music, Naad Yoga, teaching, and emotional coaching. Our work is rooted in both lived wisdom and academic training—bridging tradition and contemporary understanding.
With a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Applied Research, I integrate a deep awareness of the emotional self with the ancient art and science of Naad Yoga. My approach draws from the original yogic traditions of sound—passed down through intuitive, experiential learning—not the Westernized or colonized interpretations that have become common today.
While I am not a licensed counselor or therapist, I am a Naad Yogi, trained in the sacred practice of listening, vibration, and sound-based emotional expression. My work is grounded in the timeless wisdom of Sikh philosophy, offering a unique space where the emotional body can be heard, honored, and supported through sound.
At The Listening Mind, we don’t treat symptoms—we cultivate presence, agency, and inner strength through listening.

My academic foundation allows me to bridge traditional psychology with the transformative power of sound to support emotional well-being.
Beyond formal education, my deepest learning has come through a traditional Guru-Shishya apprenticeship under Yogi Professor Surinder Singh, a master of Naad Yoga. Through this rigorous training in Sikh sacred music and sound therapy, I’ve developed an embodied understanding of how sound can guide emotional awareness, expression, and healing—reaching far beyond the limits of conventional psychology.

FAQs
-
The Listening Mind offers coaching and sound-based services rooted in emotional awareness and Naad Yoga. These sessions are not therapy and do not replace psychological, psychiatric, or medical care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed professional or emergency services.
-
Traditional therapy and counseling often focus on diagnosing issues, processing past experiences, or developing cognitive strategies for coping. These approaches can be incredibly helpful—and for many people, they provide essential support. But The Listening Mind offers something different.
We don’t approach you as someone who needs to be fixed or analyzed. Instead, we see you as already whole—perhaps just in need of reconnection, clarity, or emotional alignment. Our work is not about labeling or resolving symptoms. It’s about helping you build a meaningful relationship with your emotions, using sound and intentional inner listening as the primary tools.
Rather than only analyzing your experience, we invite you to feel it, express it, and move with it. The approach draws from Sikh sound wisdom and the practice of Naad Yoga—not simply as inspiration, but as living, functional systems that have been used for generations to support emotional and spiritual well-being.
Think of it as a gym for your emotional body. Just as physical strength is built through movement and care, emotional strength is built through practice, presence, and sound-based awareness. Over time, you begin to develop:
Emotional clarity and confidence
Greater resilience and self-trust
A deeper connection with your intuitive voice
Tools to express and regulate emotion with ease and grace
What makes this path unique is that it honors the emotional and spiritual dimensions of your experience—not separate from your growth, but central to it.
The Listening Mind isn’t about healing you from the outside in. It’s about helping you build real, usable emotional tools—ones that you can return to in your everyday life when things feel overwhelming, unclear, or stuck. You’ll learn how to work with your emotions through sound, breath, and intentional reflection—so that over time, you’re not just reacting to life, but responding with clarity, steadiness, and self-trust.

The Listening Mind is for anyone seeking to:
Build emotional intelligence and self-awareness
Navigate transitions, stress, or inner restlessness
Learn how to express and regulate emotions in a healthy way
Deepen their spiritual or meditative practice through sound

Emotional coaching at The Listening Mind is a transformative journey—it's not about managing symptoms or fixing problems, but about learning to listen deeply to your emotions as intelligent, powerful signals.
Rather than labeling emotions as “good” or “bad,” we help you build a respectful, compassionate relationship with them. Through guided inquiry, sound-based practices, and reflective dialogue, you’ll learn to:
Understand the root of emotional patterns
Express what’s often left unspoken
Regulate your emotional energy without suppression
Strengthen your emotional boundaries and clarity
What sets this apart is that it’s not a passive process—you’re not being told what to do or how to feel. You’re learning how to become your own guide, to navigate life’s waves with steadiness, self-trust, and inner wisdom.
This kind of coaching doesn't give you temporary tools. It gives you a path back to your voice, your rhythm, and your emotional power.

Naad Yoga is the ancient yogic science of sound—a practice that uses vibration, breath, and intentional listening to bring the mind, body, and emotions into harmony. It’s not just music or chanting; it’s a deeply somatic, meditative experience that opens new pathways for emotional clarity and inner regulation.
At The Listening Mind, Naad Yoga is used as a transformational tool—not for performance, but for deep personal exploration and empowerment. Through guided sound-based practices, you’ll learn to:
Release stored emotional tension
Shift emotional states through resonance
Tune in to subtle emotional and energetic cues
Cultivate focus, calm, and groundedness
Connect to a deeper sense of self and purpose
What makes this approach truly powerful is that it leverages the analytical mind rather than bypassing it. Instead of quieting your thoughts by force, Naad Yoga helps you listen to the emotional information within your thinking patterns—inviting awareness, insight, and integration.
Whether you're processing complex emotions, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or simply seeking a more embodied relationship with your inner world, Naad Yoga gives you a way to understand and move through it—not just talk about it.
No prior singing, musical, or yogic experience is needed—just a willingness to listen.
-
Each session is designed to be a spacious, grounded experience that meets you exactly where you are—emotionally, mentally, and energetically. There’s no rigid formula. Instead, sessions are responsive and intuitive, shaped by your needs, goals, and what’s emerging in the moment.
Depending on what feels most aligned, a session may include:
Reflective conversation or emotional coaching
Guided listening or vocal resonance practices
Breathwork and stillness
Sound-based exercises rooted in Naad Yoga
Inquiry-based practices to deepen awareness
Integration and reflection to close
You won’t be asked to perform or do anything that feels unnatural. Instead, we co-create the space with care and intention—so that over time, you build the confidence to meet yourself more fully and honestly.
What sets these sessions apart is that they aren’t just about “feeling better.” They’re about developing a relationship with your emotional life that is courageous, sustainable, and liberating. You’ll leave with insights you can carry, practices you can return to, and a deeper connection to your inner voice.
-
All sessions are currently held virtually via Zoom, allowing you to access this work from the comfort and privacy of your own space—no matter where you are in the world. Virtual sessions are just as impactful, and many clients find it easier to drop into themselves without the logistics or pressure of traveling.
That said, if you feel that an in-person session is truly needed, we’re open to exploring it on a case-by-case basis. These are offered by special request only and depend on availability, location, and alignment. If this feels important for your journey, feel free to reach out and we can discuss what’s possible.
Whether online or in-person, the intention remains the same: to create a sacred, safe, and grounded space where you can listen to yourself more clearly and move forward with confidence and emotional clarity.
-
That’s completely normal—and actually quite common. Many people arrive at The Listening Mind feeling uncertain, self-conscious, or even disconnected from their voice. The beauty of this work is that it meets you right there—with gentleness, patience, and zero pressure to “sound a certain way.”
This isn’t about singing well or performing. It’s about learning to listen to and trust the sound of your inner world—and your voice just happens to be one of the most powerful tools you already carry.
Over time, as you engage in these practices, you may begin to:
Feel more comfortable expressing yourself
Build confidence in how you speak, ask, or assert
Access emotions that words alone can’t reach
Reclaim your voice as a sacred tool of healing and power
We go at your pace. You’re never asked to do anything that feels too vulnerable or unsafe. And often, those who begin with hesitation find that their voice becomes one of their most beloved guides.
So if you feel shy or unsure, that’s okay. You’re already in the perfect place to begin.
-
This work is rooted in spiritual traditions—particularly from ancient Yogic and Sikh sound wisdom—but it’s offered in a way that is inclusive, decolonized, and personal to you. You don’t need to follow a particular religion or belief system to engage with it.
While the roots of this work are sacred, the practice itself meets you where you are. Some experience it as a deeply spiritual path—a way to connect with something greater. Others connect to it as a grounding, emotional toolkit that helps them navigate life with more clarity, expression, and ease. Both are welcome, and both are valid.
This isn’t about dogma or doctrine—it’s about your direct relationship with sound, presence, and your emotional truth. It’s a space that honors your unique inner journey, invites your full humanity, and supports you in listening inward with honesty and care.
-
Not quite. While music therapy is a respected clinical field that uses music to support healing and therapeutic goals, The Listening Path offers something profoundly different—a sound-based emotional coaching practice rooted in ancient wisdom, not clinical frameworks.
This work draws from Naad Yoga and Sikh sound traditions—a lineage of sound that has gone through over 200 years of public practice, refinement, and lived application. It was developed through deep listening, emotional insight, and spiritual awareness—not in labs or universities, but through generations of human experience. This sound system was used intentionally to tune the human psyche, foster resilience, and elevate consciousness—and continues to serve those seeking real inner transformation.
While modern music therapy offers valuable tools, it is often shaped by Western frameworks that can unintentionally overlook or minimize non-Western sound systems. These approaches, though not always recognized or researched in academic circles, are no less valid or effective. The lack of Western research does not diminish their power—it simply reflects a limited lens of what has been studied, not what has been lived.
The Listening Path gently fills this gap by offering a trauma-aware, culturally grounded, and spiritually respectful practice that uses sound not just to soothe, but to awaken. This isn’t about performance or diagnosis. It’s about listening inward—using vibration, voice, and presence to reconnect with your emotional and intuitive self in ways that words alone often cannot reach.
-
The best way to begin is by booking a Free 30-minute Consultation. It’s a no-pressure space to talk about what’s coming up for you, explore whether this approach resonates, and ask any questions you might have.
This is a chance to connect—not commit. You’ll be met with warmth, honesty, and a genuine intention to serve—not a sales pitch.
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll move forward with an intake session. And if it doesn’t, that’s okay too. The Listening Mind only works when you’re ready and it feels right. We honor that deeply.
-
The Listening Mind weaves together timeless sound wisdom, emotional coaching, and a trauma-aware, decolonized lens to create something truly different. It’s not therapy. It’s not yoga class. It’s not performance.
It’s a return to your own emotional clarity through sound.
What makes it powerful is that it:
Treats you as whole—not broken
Uses sound to help you feel rather than just talk
Builds skills you can carry into real life
Helps you develop an emotional compass, not dependency
Respects your cultural, spiritual, and personal identity
It’s rare to find something that is ancient, intuitive, and practical all at once. The Listening Mind is exactly that—a space where emotion, sound, and self-awareness come together to help you remember who you are, reclaim your voice, and re-align your life.
-
No. This work doesn’t require belief in any specific philosophy, religion, or energy system. What it does require is a willingness to listen—to your emotions, your breath, your body, and the vibrations that move through you. Whether you’re deeply spiritual or simply curious, the work meets you where you are.
-
The Listening Mind is a non-clinical emotional coaching practice. It is not a substitute for licensed therapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. We do not diagnose, treat, or offer clinical interventions for mental health conditions.
That said, many people who are working with therapists or other providers find that The Listening Mind offers a powerful complement to their care. The sound-based practices and emotional coaching offered here can help individuals build greater emotional awareness, connect to their inner voice, and develop tools for self-regulation—within the scope of a supportive, non-clinical space.
We approach this work with trauma-awareness and compassion, and create a safe, grounded environment where you are always in control of your process. If any emotional material arises during a session that feels overwhelming or outside the scope of this work, we will pause, ground, and refer you to appropriate resources.
If you are currently under the care of a licensed mental health professional or have a history of complex trauma, we encourage you to:
Let your provider know about your interest in this work
Use The Listening Mind alongside, not instead of, your clinical support
Reach out to us if you’d like to discuss whether this is a good fit for your current needs
We hold this space with integrity and care, and are always happy to collaborate within the boundaries of your support system.

No. While voice and sound expression are part of some of the services we offer, not all sessions include vocal work, and it will always depend on the specific service and the needs of each individual client.
When voice is used, it’s never about singing in the traditional sense. We are not creating musicians or performers. The way we work with voice is very intentional—it’s about vibration, emotional access, and resonance, not about pitch, melody, or performance.
Some clients may use their voice more, others less. It all unfolds based on what’s supportive for you in the moment. There’s no pressure, no judgment, and no aimless chanting. Everything we offer is purposeful, intuitive, and guided by experience.
Trust the process. Your voice, when used, becomes a tool for inner listening and emotional connection—not something to get “right.” Just come as you are.
-
It can be either. Some people come for one or two sessions to move through a specific emotional block or gain clarity. Others engage over months to develop emotional literacy, deepen their connection to sound, and integrate the practice into their lives. There’s no set timeline—just your path, at your pace.
-
Not at all. All you need is a quiet space, an internet connection, and an open heart. You’re welcome to bring headphones, water, a journal, or anything that helps you feel comfortable. We’ll let you know if anything specific is needed for a session.
-
If you’ve landed here, chances are something within you is already curious. Maybe you’ve tried traditional approaches to emotional well-being and still feel like something’s missing. Maybe you’re searching for a deeper connection with yourself—or a way to move through stuck emotions without constantly analyzing or fixing them. Or maybe you just feel drawn to sound, even if you don’t know why.
The Listening Mind may be right for you if:
You’re ready to explore your emotions in a new, embodied way
You want to build emotional strength and clarity without judgment
You’ve felt overwhelmed, shut down, or creatively blocked
You long for a practice that is culturally grounded, intentional, and soulful
You want to reclaim your voice—not for performance, but for healing
You’ve been carrying something silently, and you’re ready to let it move
This path is not about quick fixes or passive advice—it’s for those ready to be gently guided back to themselves. You don’t need to have the right language, the perfect mindset, or any prior experience. All you need is openness, curiosity, and a willingness to listen.
Still unsure? That’s okay. We encourage you to book a free 30-minute consultation—no pressure, no commitment, just a chance to connect and feel it out. If it resonates, we’ll take the next step together. And if not, we’ll part with clarity and respect.
Your emotional life is sacred. You deserve support that honors that.
