Judea is medium, intuitive energy healer, and sound therapist living on the island of Kauai. She has been working with and continuously deepening her study of the healing power of sound for nearly 20 years. Much of her intuitive work is focused around addressing pathways of flow in the soul matrix and helping those who work with her to dispel, transform, move, and integrate energies for deeper healing. She has had a talent for playing and composing music since childhood, and shares insights and messages from spirit through song. Her sound journeys create a supportive container for exploring aspects of self with non-judgment, compassion, and clarity, and gently carry one back home to their grounded center, with a new found sense of completion, alignment, wisdom, and wellbeing.
