I've never done this kind of work. Can I still begin?

Yes. Willingness to give twenty minutes of stillness a real chance is enough. You do not need meditation experience or a spiritual vocabulary.

Is a journey a vacation or an initiation?

Initiation. Sacred immersions with sound as the through-line — not sightseeing packaged as wellness. If you want a tour, this is not it.

How do I choose Sessions, The Return, or a Journey?

Start with what your body is asking for now. Need regulation close to home — begin with Sessions. Ready for an ongoing practice — The Return. Called to sacred land — Journeys (Egypt is open for Winter Solstice 2026). Unsure — book an inquiry call.

Are sessions in person or online?

Both. Many offerings are available in person and at a distance. We choose the format on the call.

How do I inquire about Egypt?

Use Inquire about Egypt to leave a few details, or book a call. Spaces are limited; early inquiry is wise. Deposit and logistics are confirmed after Tolo follows up.

Testimonial 01

Pull quote: She takes you deep with grace and lightness.
Name: Lisa May
Role: Sound bath · Self Love Coach
Body: Before Tolo's sound bath, I was carrying a lot in my body — stressed, ruminating, mind cluttered and tense. The moment the gong began, I felt enveloped. My surroundings softened and a deep calm moved through me. The shift was subtle but powerful — she takes you deep with grace and lightness. It was a transformational sonic journey I didn't know I needed. I left tuned to my natural rhythms, back in my wholeness.

Manifesto

Safety is a physiological state. / It can be practised.

Healing begins when the nervous system finally registers safety. Twenty minutes of stillness, deep enough that the body believes it. Depth beats duration. Sound, breath, and ceremony are how we get there — not by managing symptoms, but by practising safety until the body stops bracing.

Three Doors

Three doors. Pick the one your body is already leaning toward.

Door 01 — Sessions

Title: A practice that meets your body where it is
Body: One-to-one and group sessions for women who need their nervous system to register safety again — sound, stillness, and somatic work. In person and online.

Door 02 — The Return

Title: A retreat ends. The nervous system does not.
Body: An ongoing container between journeys — for women ready to practise safety, not only visit it. Arrive. Attune. Embody.

Door 03 — Journeys

Title: Sacred pilgrimage
Body: Egypt Winter Solstice 2026 — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile, and optional Siwa Integration Edition. Karnak, the Sanctuary of Sekhmet, and the Temple of Isis. Intimate group. Not a tour bus.

The Return

A path you can / live inside of.

Twelve sessions, each building on the last — a return to essence, guided personally at your own pace. Deep rest in the body. Manifestation may follow; the return is the point.

Arrive (01): Come out of survival mode. Learn what safety feels like in your body.
Attune (02): Twelve sessions in deep rest — twenty minutes, twice a day, building session by session.
Return (03): Essence comes back. Live from regulation so journeys and ceremony land.

Resonance Circle Feature

Sundays at six. / One room, all year.

The Resonance Circle — a live online meditation every Sunday. Free weekly Attunements aligned with the sky; Gates and Portals at the turning points. Sound, stillness, and when it fits, a short teaching on how we live.

Sacred Journeys

Ancient land. Living sound.

Resonance is the gateway to remembrance. — Edgar Cayce

Egypt · Winter Solstice 2026

Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile, and optional Siwa Integration Edition. Private openings at Karnak, the Sanctuary of Sekhmet, and the Temple of Isis. Intimate group. Initiation, not a tour.

Peru · Sacred Valley & Lake Titicaca

Two movements across the Andes — Sacred Valley grounding and Lake Titicaca reflection. Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, and the living wisdom of the Inca tradition. Sound, ceremony, and land that remembers.

Your Guide

Hi, I'm Tolo.

For thirteen years, I supported surgeries, providing guidance, instruction, and education to surgeons. Then my own body stopped responding — burnout, autoimmune volatility, a nervous system that had forgotten what safety felt like.
Sound, ceremony, and Yoga Nidra gave me back my body. They showed me how to teach others to do the same: below the neck, in the nervous system, in the felt sense of being alive.
I am a seasoned Vipassana practitioner and certified meditation teacher, initiated in Andean cosmology through lineage-based maestro training. I hold Egyptian Ma'at and Buddhist Dharma as one conversation — truth, balance, reciprocity.
If your body has started keeping score — sleep, flares, bracing you can't think your way out of — this is the work. Twenty minutes at a time, until the body believes it is safe.
