About Me

Welcome to My Journey of Sound Healing! 

I am Eleonora Marmari, a certified sound practitioner devoted to guiding others towards balance, healing, and inner peace through the transformative power of sound. My practice is inspired by a global journey of discovery, blending ancient wisdom with personal experiences to create a unique and profound healing approach.

​

From Corporate Stress to Global Exploration

After spending eight years in the high-pressure world of corporate life, capped by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I realized I needed a profound change. I left the corporate world behind to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing—a journey that would take me across continents, through cultures, and into the heart of sound.

​

Ikaria: The Beginning of Transformation

My story begins on the serene island of Ikaria, a Blue Zone where people live remarkably long, fulfilling lives. Amid its peaceful mountains, I meditated, seeking answers about our existence and guidance for my next steps. Ikaria’s way of life, free of stress and rich in community, inspired me. There, I saw firsthand how music unites everyone—mayors and rubbish collectors dance together until dawn, celebrating life with live music and wine. The island’s wisdom of simplicity, longevity, and deep social connections set the tone for my journey into sound healing.

​

A Global Journey of Discovery

From Ikaria, my travels took me across Egypt, Europe, Japan, and Tanzania. Each destination deepened my understanding of the profound role music plays in healing and cultural expression:

• In Tanzania, the rhythmic chants and dances of the Maasai tribes revealed the power of sound to connect communities.

• In Kyoto, Japan, I explored how music is used as an emotional outlet, especially among the Geisha women.

​

Nepal: A Life-Changing Transformation

Nepal became a turning point in my journey. It was always my dream to climb the majestic Himalayas, and I combined a trek along the Annapurna mountains at 4,227 meters with what was intended to be a short 10-day course on sound healing. That brief course turned into 42 life-changing days. Immersed in the serenity of the Himalayas, I discovered the profound connection between sound healing and the five universal elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether.

​

India: Deepening the Journey

Eager to expand my understanding, I traveled to India, beginning in Kerala, where the aroma of spices filled the air and inspired a sensory connection to healing. From there, I journeyed to Rishikesh, near the Himalayas once again, where I encountered the gods of music and delved into flute meditations. These sacred practices resonated deeply with me, bringing a sense of homecoming and spiritual awakening.

​

England: Mastering the Gong

My journey continued to England, a place of profound personal significance. The UK had shaped my corporate career, as I graduated with a business degree from the University of Brighton. This time, it became the birthplace of my gong practice.

In the idyllic Cotswolds countryside, I met the legendary Don Conreaux, a 95-year-old master of sound healing. Don’s wisdom and expertise opened doors for me that I could not find elsewhere. Despite my travels through Asia, I had never found a teacher for the gong—until England. I spent my days immersed in the countryside, vibrating with the energy of 30 exquisite gongs crafted by master professionals. The gong became my beloved instrument, a powerful tool in my sound healing practice.

​

Full Circle: Returning to Ikaria

It’s only fitting that my journey ended where it began—on the island of Ikaria. This time, I spent 30 transformative days with Peter Hess and his wife, Emily Hess, two legends in the field of sound healing. To my amazement, their travels mirrored mine, as they too had journeyed through India and Nepal. Their teachings on sound massage, sound journeys, and the concept of basic trust not only enriched my practice but also profoundly shaped my professional path.

Who could have imagined that where I began, having no understanding of sound healing, would become the place where my career was transformed? The Peter Hess Institute has become the foundation of my professional journey, blending my global experiences into a cohesive, transformative practice.

​

The Power of Sound Healing

My travels and teachers have shown me that sound is a universal language—one that transcends boundaries, connects souls, and fosters healing on every level. Through sound healing, I’ve discovered the power to:

• Release emotional blockages.

• Restore balance in mind, body, and spirit.

• Create harmony and alignment with the natural rhythms of the universe.

​

My Philosophy

Guided by my journey across Ikaria, Nepal, India, and England, I offer a practice that blends ancient wisdom with modern techniques. Each session I create is deeply personal, drawing from the cultural insights, spiritual teachings, and transformative experiences I’ve encountered.
