ABOUT ROBIN KANG
Robin Kang (Tonalmētzli) is an intuitive multimedia shamanic sound healing artist. She is dedicated to helping others – individuals, communities, and corporate clients – heal, expand, and find greater wellbeing through sound and breath. Having spent nearly a decade honing her craft of sound meditation and trauma-informed breathwork facilitation, she is intently focused on supporting the healing, wellbeing, and expansion of humanity. She is an Initiatic student of Maestro Manuel Rufino, an Ollintlahuimētztli Moondancer, sacred song carrier, and a certified Usui & Tibetan Reiki Master that creatively combines her training with shamanic energy work and sound healing to support a complete energy reset to tune your frequency to the place of bliss that is already inside you, the healing place where your body begins to heal itself. Her sessions are catered individually to the needs of the client or group. Her gentle hands-on touch or remote Reiki is amplified with resonant sonic vibrations to heal physical ailments, stress, trauma, and restore overall wellness. Percussive instruments, drums, singing bowls, flutes, overtone-emitting instruments, and sacred songs are used in each session. Sacred instruments used in sound healing help regulate and calm the nervous system, boost energy, let go of energetic blockages, and release emotions in order to facilitate the healing process.
