I’m Daniela — a highly sensitive empath, Human Design Projector, and visionary space holder.
As a Sound Alchemist, yoga teacher, and intuitive singer, I weave sacred sound, presence, ritual, and magic into spaces where healing and remembrance can unfold. Guided by my voice and a growing family of healing instruments — from alchemy bowls and gongs to drum, monolina, flute, and more — I create experiences that open hearts, awaken ancient knowing, and reconnect us to what truly matters.

Although I don’t believe in placing labels on myself, these words offer the closest description of the path I am on. Since childhood, I’ve often been called “too sensitive” — finding my greatest joy in solitude, in nature, and in the spaces between sound and silence.

Even as a teenager, I felt drawn to the unseen. I explored Reiki for the first time in my youth — an intuitive curiosity for energy work that, at the time, I didn’t yet fully understand, but somehow deeply remembered.

My love for singing and dancing blossomed early, though I often felt misunderstood — as if my creative expression was somehow too much or not enough. Over time, I began to question the place of my passions in the world and slowly tucked them away.

I followed the path that felt safe and familiar, shaped by my German upbringing. I earned a Master’s degree in Business, believing — for a time — that this was my way forward.

For over a decade, I worked in the sustainability sector of the travel industry, and later with top-tier corporate clients in the finance and trading world. While this journey offered valuable lessons, it also left me burned out and disconnected from my sensitive essence. Deep down, I knew there was something more — a higher calling, more authentic and meaningful, waiting to be remembered.

Music quietly found its way back. I spent a decade singing in a wedding band, slowly rediscovering the joy and healing power of sound. quietly found its way back.

Still, beneath the surface, I struggled with the quiet companions of depression and anxiety — shadows that had followed me since my teenage years. It was also during this time that I discovered the soothing benefits of yoga, and ever since, I have maintained a regular practice, as it has provided me with relief from both mental and physical tension.

This is where my true path began…

Everything changed when I found myself amidst the magical landscapes of the Sacred Valley in Peru in 2020. It was the first time I experienced the powerful combination of plant medicine, yoga, medicine music, and sound healing. It was there that my true healing began. This union marked also a turning point — the moment when my soul awakened to its purpose and a new path unfolded.

I began learning the guitar, reconnecting with the creative spirit I had once hidden away. Then, in 2023, my sacred guardians appeared — the Alchemy crystal bowls by Crystal Tones. From the moment I heard them singing, something clicked. It was as if they amplified my voice in a way I had never experienced before — as though the bowls and I had become one. In that moment, I remembered what I truly longed to share: the healing power of sound, offered in a ceremonial, heart-centered way. 

Yet, my true spiritual path had begun even earlier — during my first Yoga Teacher Training in Pune, India.
Immersed in daily practice, mantra, silence, and ancient teachings, I experienced a moment of profound awakening. Something inside me shifted — a stillness I had never known before opened up within me. Though I didn’t yet have the words to describe it, I felt a deep remembrance stirring: a connection to something greater, something sacred. That seed quietly planted itself in my heart, and it would begin to blossom years later.

In 2025, a new layer of my path unfolded when I was called to the sacred space of Grotta Sonora in Italy — a life-changing experience that deepened my devotion to sound as medicine.
There, I encountered the gong not only as an instrument, but as a portal — a timeless gateway into the unseen, a mirror of the soul, and a teacher of surrender. The vibrations moved through me like memory, awakening something ancient. It was in those stone chambers that I fully stepped into my embodiment as a Sound Alchemist — not as a title, but as a living frequency of presence, harmony, and listening.

Walking alongside the wisdom of plants

My path with plant medicines has been one of deep remembrance—a return to the heart and the wisdom of the earth. Over the past two years, while living in Amsterdam, I’ve had the honor of guiding individuals and groups through ceremonial experiences with Cacao and Psilocybin Truffles.

From the beginning, I felt Cacao would be part of my offerings—infusing ceremonies with warmth, connection, and a gentle opening of the heart. Her medicine invites us to soften, remember, and reconnect.

These plant allies continue to inspire and support the spaces I hold today.

Part of my journey has also been living in different countries, as I’ve always loved to travel. I spent nearly a decade in Amsterdam and Australia before life’s currents carried me to Saudi Arabia, where I now reside in the coastal town of Yanbu with my Egyptian husband.

During my travels through the ancient temples of Egypt, I received the vision to transform”Followers of the Heart" (founded in early 2023) into “Sounds & Magic”. I believe this shift honors the higher calling I am here to embody. And so, I chose to step through the new portal that had opened for me…

I embody this path as an intuitive guide and sound alchemist, weaving sacred sound, movement, ceremony, voice, and the gentle medicines of the Earth.
My vision is to hold space for inner harmony, deep healing, and heart-connection — creating sacred spaces where we can soften, remember, and return to what is true.

I’m here to share what I’ve lived: that our vulnerability is not a flaw, but a doorway.
A sacred key that opens us to deeper connection, beauty, and the quiet magic of being fully human.

I offer my work across three beloved home bases:

• Cairo, Egypt

• Yanbu, Saudi Arabia

• Regensburg, Germany

From these places — and beyond — I hold in-person sessions, retreats, and ceremonial offerings. Wherever we meet, the intention remains the same: to create sacred spaces for healing, remembrance, and return.
