Testimonials
"Since 2008, my journey with Moi's sound healing has been a profound transformation. It has been my oasis in life's desert, resonating with my soul's depths. These harmonious frequencies have guided me through chaos, offering clarity and a deeper understanding of myself. Moi's sound healing transcends the physical, creating a sacred space for release and reconnection. Grateful for the strength and inspiration it's provided, I encourage anyone considering this journey to take the leap. Let the melodies wash over you, and embrace the infinite possibilities that Moi's sound healing offers." - Xialen A.
"It was so amazing to have a magical and blissful sound bath with all the beautiful instruments. I was brought to relax state then to deep sleep state towards the end of the sound bath. The harmony and the solfeggio frequency activated my throat chakra to tone bringing in more light and intense healing. I was brought to different realms and the most beautiful part where I was immersed in the Universe. I never had such an amazing experience before. Feeling recharged as my cells were being regenerated towards the end of the session. Thank you Moi for the wonderful and blessed sound healing.🙏🏻😘❤️" - Tess W.
"I had been going to Moi for sound healing since 2009. I work as a professor and counselor in the academe for many years and going to her sound healing session is part of my self-care practice. I experience tranquility and positive emotional disposition after each session. The sound frequencies and vibrations, invisible they may seem, has a profound effect on my entire “being”. It is like having a deep “soul massage”. As time went by, I noticed that I was empowered to look into myself with clarity, more respectfully and kindly leading to become more attuned to myself spiritually. To be clear, this is not in a dogmatic and religious way, it’s more of the sound facilitates self discovery of your inner wisdom that brings about confidence in your abilities. I could truly say that Moi healed my soul. I brought my family and friends to experience it as well and their experience was also similar with mine. I am truly grateful for the gift and authenticity of Moi-a master healer indeed! She keeps on top of her healing journey and gets better and better each time." - Tin A.
"My sound healing experience with Maura Francisco (Moi) was surreal and deeply healing on many levels. Guided by her higher wisdom and keen intuition, Moi elegantly flowed from one sound instrument to the next to offer a "sound symphony" that quickly soothed my nervous system and activated the energy centres in my body . At the end of one hour, I felt refreshed and vitalized, and my energy body re-aligned and re-stored to an inner state of harmony. I also have a sense of the muscles tissues being repaired and detoxification quickened in the body. I would highly recommend her unique sound healing modality - supported by an impressive collection of musical instruments and intuitively curated to cater to the healing and expansion needs of each individual". - Amara Tia, Energy Therapist and Channel.
