Misa first became interested in the healing properties of the human voice when a friend reported an accelerated recovery from pneumonia through listening to a recording of her singing. While studying singing in her undergraduate years, she experienced how self-criticism distorted her process of expression and shied away from singing for some years. Since then, a series of dreams - in which her heart was crying in pain from the lack of singing - has reminded and guided her to explore ways to serve with her voice. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from Westminster Choir College and a Master of Arts in Integrative Health Studies with a focus in Sound Voice Healing from California Institute of Integral Studies. Her extensive experience with children include infants, children with autism, and deaf and heard of hearing children. Her singing has helped people cry and move through grief, find inspiration, and feel nourished. She hopes to encourage more singing and interconnection among people through demonstrating the simplicity and nourishing nature of lullabies. |

Misa's singing touched my heart in a very profound way. It had a primal sound to it. I felt that in those few minutes she went straight to where the buried pain was, that I didn't even know I had...dug it up and healed it. The whole experience sounded and felt like a mother wiping away her child's tears & telling them that she loved them & that everything would be ok... The healing I got from it was amazing. Thank you Misa. You truly have a gift that you must share with the world. Rebecca Sophia http://www.rebeccasophia.com/ As someone who is familiar with classical training (but having received none myself), I knew your voice would be beautiful. But the tenderness, the nurturing, the sheer power of the song itself and of how your voice drew me- and everyone else- into the moment, was completely unexpected. Megan Kopp Hearttreewellness.weebly.com I have been blessed to be surrounded and embraced by the healing magic in Misa's singing. Her voice vibrates with the rhythm of the Universe, in the highest levels of love and compassion. Daniel Hawk, intuitive astrologer http://www.danielhawk.com Her singing is like the soft caresses of loving hands.
Like the tight embrace of a mother’s eternal spiral of love, with every breath she so freely releases Tanate Aria Misa, I would like to let you know just how much an effect your songs have. Just before I had hit 'play' on your 'Meandering toward calmness', our big boy had crawled up onto the top of our bookshelves where he has a tendency to clumsily knock over our photo frames. I was just about to get up to take him off when he suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to look towards where the sounds were coming from, and then ever so slowly started tip-toeing over to where my laptop was. He then plunked himself down, curled up next to me, nuzzled his head against me and fell into a glorious cat nap. I mean, cats are amazingly sensitive animals in everything from their physical sensitivity (their skin, hair and whiskers) to their emotional intelligence to their acute sensitivity to sound. This is no small thing. My cat simply does not do acts of courtesy. Sara Bobkoff http://littlebigmouth.net/ The power of Misa’s singing is derived from her wish to express the beauty and healing power of music, and she brings such joy in her deliverance. She is a gifted musician, and her rich tones reflect her deep compassion for humanity as well as her ethereal and spiritual nature. Sara N. singer, arts administrator |
