Welcome, Beautiful Soul!
I’m Daniela Hussien — Sound Alchemist, Yoga Teacher, Singer, and Ceremonial Space Holder. I weave sacred sound, movement, ritual, and magic into spaces where healing and remembrance naturally unfold. Guided by my voice and a growing family of healing instruments, I open portals that invite us to reconnect with our hearts, restore harmony, and awaken ancestral knowing.
Childhood & early years
Born in a peaceful Bavarian neighborhood surrounded by forests and lakes, I was often called “too sensitive”—yet I found my greatest joy in solitude, in nature, and in the quiet spaces between sound and silence. My love for singing, dancing, and music blossomed early, though I often felt misunderstood, as if my creative expression was somehow either too much or not enough. Over time, I began to question the place of these passions in the world and, little by little, I tucked them away.
Teenage Years & Education
My teenage years carried me through seasons of anxiety and depression, which also opened doors into the unseen. It was then that I had my first encounter with Reiki — an initiation that set me on a journey into spiritual practices and deeper concepts. At 18, I discovered yoga for the first time. What began as a way to stay physically fit gradually unfolded into a path of healing, self-discovery, and connection that continues to guide me today.
Music eventually found its way back when, through my mother’s belief in my talent, I joined a wedding band. What began as her encouragement grew into more than a decade of singing, lessons, and performing — keeping the spark of music alive within me.
At the same time, I followed the path that felt safe and familiar, shaped by my German upbringing and the heritage of resilience I carry. I earned a Master’s degree in Business Studies from the University of Regensburg, trusting for a time that this was the direction my life was meant to take.
The Paths That Shaped Me
Curiosity soon led me on a two-year journey through Australia and Asia — a time of traveling, self-discovery, and exploration. Travel has always been woven into my path, and during this chapter I realized I would not return to a conventional career in Germany. Instead, I stepped into the sustainability sector in Australia, which soon brought me to Amsterdam, where I built a new life and worked for over seven years.
Altogether, I spent over a decade in the corporate world — from sustainability certification to environmental commodities trading and corporate banking — a high-pressure path that ultimately left me yearning for peace, balance, and stillness.
Finding my Purpose
During my years in Amsterdam, I experienced several profound breakthroughs. The city’s open-minded culture offered countless opportunities for spiritual exploration — from music festivals and retreats to rich cultural programs. My first true awakening came during a Yoga Teacher Training in Goa, India. A journey with a local friend to Pune — home to the Osho ashram and many spiritual lineages — immersed me in synchronicities and a state of deep flow, confirming that something greater was awaiting me. This time also brought me closer to the essence of yoga, and I began weaving many styles into my daily life.
In 2020, I traveled to the Sacred Valley of Peru, where I first encountered the powerful union of Yoga Nidra, medicine music, and sound healing set against the magic of nature. This became a turning point — the moment my inner healing journey deepened and my soul awakened to its true purpose.I began learning the guitar, reconnecting with the creative spirit I had once hidden away.
Answering the Call & Leading Ceremonies
I answered the call in 2022, when I began leading cacao ceremonies, teaching yoga, and offering sound healings in Amsterdam. These first circles marked the beginning of my path as a space-holder — creating sacred containers where people could reconnect with themselves, their hearts, and the healing power of sound and plant wisdom.
In 2023, my sacred guardians appeared: the Alchemy Crystal Bowls by Crystal Tones. From the first moment I heard them sing, something shifted. It was as if they amplified my voice in a way I had never experienced before — as though the bowls and I were one. In that instant, I remembered what I truly longed to share: the healing power of sound, offered in a ceremonial and heart-centered way.
In 2025, a new layer of my path unfolded when I was called to the sacred caves of Grotta Sonora in Italy — a life-changing experience that deepened my devotion to sound as medicine. It was there that I fully stepped into my role as a Sound Alchemist, embracing its deeper meaning and responsibility.
Later, during a journey through the ancient temples of Egypt, I was guided to transform Followers of the Heart (founded in early 2023) into Sounds & Magic — a deeper embodiment of the path I am walking. Since November 2024, I have been living by the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia with my husband, where our shared life continues to inspire and shape my work.
