Welcome to Bliss Shaper — a space where sound becomes sanctuary, and music merges with meditation to guide you into inner stillness.
I grew up in a family of professional musicians, where music wasn’t just entertainment, but a way of life. Surrounded by harmony and rhythm from an early age, I was immersed in the expressive and transformative power of sound. Alongside this musical foundation, I pursued academic studies in ecology, developing a deep appreciation for natural systems, balance, and the quiet intelligence of life.
My path led me to become a guitar teacher, performing musician, and composer. Over the years, I have played at countless venues, written original music across genres, and connected with audiences through melody and emotion. Yet despite the fulfilment music brought me, I found myself seeking a deeper kind of inner clarity and presence.
That search took shape when I spent several formative years within a Buddhist organisation. There, I took on leadership roles and immersed myself in meditation, ethical practice, and self-inquiry. This period transformed me at a fundamental level, laying the foundation for a lifelong journey of personal development. I expanded my practice by exploring a wide spectrum of meditation and growth techniques, from silent retreats and breathwork to guided visualisation and integrative coaching.
These experiences have not only deepened my understanding of the human mind, but also shaped the meditations I now lead. Bliss Shaper brings together my musical roots, spiritual path, and years of teaching into guided meditations, sound journeys, and coaching sessions that support real inner change. Each session is grounded in the belief that relaxing soundtracks, beautiful melodies, and intentional presence can calm the nervous system, unlock clarity, and help us reconnect with what matters most.
I invite you to explore this fusion of music and mindfulness — to experience for yourself how carefully crafted sound can speak to the deeper self, and how one moment of stillness can reshape the day.
