​👤 About your Host

​Having left a 13-year career as a psychiatric nurse in 2024 to pursue a blend of holistic spiritual healing through sound and creativity, FolaVeritas ties ancestral teachings with modern approaches that help people heal their past and step into a future full of possibilities. She is a mother, a lover, and a creative, who enjoys long walks in nature, sharing stories through various mediums, and inspiring others to bring their dreams to life.

​As with most things in life, Folawould say that sound healing found her and handed her the precious gift of shifting her intergenerational & personal trauma stories. She hosts soundbath journeys that blend the healing frequencies of crystal singing bowls, the hand drum, gong and voice, while integrating the wisdom of her ancestral lineage.

​Fola is a proponent of self-care & healthy boundary setting. In order to bring your medicine into your communities and for the people you support, it is important that you care for yourself. This is where the soundbath comes in: It is a way to fill your own cup first.
