Serendia Wellness ~ Conscious Wellness with Jessica Barker
This month we put Jessica Barker in the spotlight, one of our great students, who now runs her own company, Serendia Wellness! Read her inspiring story below.
“One of my first memories of sound being integrated into a yoga class (which I attended) was when I lived in Vancouver, Canada – the cello was played next to the teacher teaching.
This was a wonderful experience that stayed with me until I returned to Britain. It was a dream to recreate that here, so I did just that and found a musician who I work with to this day. I saw firsthand how sound would just add a new dimension to healing in my current practices, and opening up so much creativity and possibilities.
I was attracted to the Academy because of their in-depth courses. I wanted time, support, excellent teachers, and a great community, and that’s what I got! I completed the Level 1 Multi Instrument and the Level 2 Diploma for Groups, which I completed in June this year.
As for my businessintroducing another tool into my practice has significantly increased my income, for which I am very grateful. I love how many creative opportunities there are and that I can help more people! I have just worked for myself at Serendía for three yearsmy own company born in Mexico, out of love for feeling, with all the senses. Serendía lives in the present, lives consciously.
I love working for myself, it’s really empowering. I teach weekly Yin Yoga & Sound sessions in a magical Yurt, and I teach monthly blended sessions with breathwork, yoga and sound, as well as sound baths.
I organize retreat days every few months and I host residential retreats half a year, and I also started introducing sound into my massage therapy sessions, which I think helps turn off people’s mental chatter faster!
It’s important to stay connected with other sound practitionersAnT. Working for myself can feel lonely and sometimes overwhelming, so having people I trust to share ideas with, ask questions, and perhaps challenge each other only helps me grow!
In this regard, collaboration is something I strongly believe in and will continue to do so. We all have such unique skills, and when passionate people come together to create something, it’s amazing. We learn so much from each other.
Finally, I think experiencing sound healing for yourself is also an important part of the process!
With over ten years of international experience in the wellness industry, I now combine my knowledge and passions for self-care and preventative holistic health to make a positive impact. My goal is to inspire, educate and motivate people on their holistic, transformative journey.
Looking forward to connecting!”
Fill your cup first: the key to being the best for others this Christmas
The holidays are a time of giving, celebrating and connecting, but it can also bring a whirlwind of demands: family gatherings, gift shopping, receiving and more.
It’s easy to get caught up in doing everything for everyone, leaving little energy for yourself. But here’s the truth: to be the best for others, you must first be the best for yourself.
Think of it this way: you can’t pour from an empty cup. When you take care of yourself, you can show up more fully and with more joy to those around you. This means making self-care a priority, even when it feels like everyone’s needs are calling louder. A powerful way to do SIO is through sound healing.
1. Take time for daily sound meditation
Even just 10 minutes of sound healing can have a profound impact on your mood and energy. Whether it is playing a soothing instrument such as a Native American style flute or simply listening to a calming sound bath, sound healing helps calm the mind, reduce stress and reconnect you with your inner peace.
2. Use tuning forks for energy balance
Do you feel out of alignment? Tuning forks can help realign, ground and balance your energy when life feels chaotic. Just a few minutes of tuning fork therapy can restore harmony to your body and mind.
3. Create a relaxing soundscape
Set the tone for self-care by creating a soundscape in your home. Play relaxing, harmonious music or nature sounds in the background while you perform other activities, such as wrapping presents or cooking. This can help you feel centered and peaceful even as you go about your holiday tasks.
Remember: taking care of yourself doesn’t mean neglecting others, it’s the opposite.
By prioritizing your own well-being, you will be able to give more energy, love and joy to those around you. So, as the holidays unfold, make a point to slow down, breathe, and let sound healing be your guide to balance and inner peace!
