Hi 👋 I’m Natalie
My name is Natalie Doose, it is great to virtually meet you! I am a sound healing practitioner based in San Diego, California. I am so grateful that you have found your way to my website and I welcome the opportunity to be able to support you on your healing journey. If sound baths are something new to you I am excited to share this amazing experience with you for the first time!
People always ask me how I became interested in sound healing. I experienced my first sound bath during a particularly challenging point in my life. I was stuck in a toxic relationship, about to lose my job, and I really wasn’t sure what the future was going to hold for me. Honestly, I felt like giving up. I felt helpless watching everything that I had worked so hard to build crumbling before my eyes.
It was at this point that I attended a sound bath. My friend had gone to one and shared her experience with me, I was intrigued so I did what any of us do now-a-days… I googled - Sound Baths near me. I found one and signed up. I was not entirely sure what to expect but I am open to trying new things and was excited to try it out.
The sound of the crystal singing bowls was something I had never heard before and it almost immediately put me into a deep state of relaxation. I was in a dream-like state and I started to have these visions. The first one was me running in a desert, I was chasing something but I wasn’t sure what it was and somehow I knew deep down inside that I would never catch it. In this vision I was hot, sweating profusely, and exhausted. Then all of the sudden, I was transported to Costa Rica. It was drizzling and I was flowing through a yoga sequence on this beautiful outdoor yoga platform in the rainforest. I was surrounded by lush green plants, butterflies, and birds were chirping all around me. I had never felt more at peace.
“Well, that was interesting,” I thought as I left the sound bath. A few days later, I found the strength to do what I had known in my heart I had to do for a while. I packed a suitcase and my dog Mikka and I drove from Orange County to San Diego. I started to rebuild - I found an apartment and filled it with only things that brought me joy. I made it a priority to be active everyday. I took as many yoga classes as I could. I started having really honest conversations with myself about what made me happy and how I wanted my life to look. I was living on my own terms and I was enjoying every second of life!
After moving to San Diego I reconnected with Ben, who I had dated briefly after college. I told him how badly I wanted to go to Costa Rica, and he said, “let’s go!” A month later we landed in San Jose, Costa Rica. It was late at night and raining. We made our way to the first hotel that was on our itinerary, when we arrived I signed us up for a yoga class taking place the next morning. When we arrived for the class it was taking place on an outdoor yoga platform - it was a carbon copy of what I had seen in that sound bath a few months ago. I started to cry, I felt as though I had been led to this place and that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
I started using all of my free time to research sound healing and try out different sound healing experiences. I started learning how much science there was behind sound healing and all the ways that it can help people. I am excited to have the opportunity to share what I have learned with all of you!❤️️
I now live in Carlsbad, California with my fiancé, Ben, and our Scottish Terrier, Watson. I work full time as a sound healing practitioner. I am also in the process of completing my Yoga Teacher Training through CorePower Yoga and I am super excited to be able to offer Yoga + Sound Healing experiences in the near future!
