Introduction
I am Wyatt, owner, and founder of Pittsburgh’s Rooted In Sound. We offer a customized wellness experience using coaching, acoustic induced meditation, and life changing experiences. Using the natural environment, bowls, gongs, bells, and more to access your innate inner wisdom, we create an environment that produces real and lasting change. We also infuse Reiki, Nada Yoga, and other energy and meditation techniques to help with relaxation and transformation. To help you become familiar with the journey into sound, read our story below!
Digging in the Dirt by Day, Yoga by night
I’ve always had a connection with sound and nature for as long as I can recall. Growing up on a farm probably had a small impact, but so has my passion for sustainability and the outdoors. Surprisingly I became more aware of my connection with sound by digging in the dirt (not a requirement for sound healing, but I’ll get to that)! In late Summer of 2011, I stumbled upon meditation via a work associate at my sustainable landscaping/gardening business, Gardenalia, and decided to give it a try. After a lot of practice, meditation, and later yoga, had brought an entirely new perspective and understanding of how my body, mind, and soul all work in harmony. After my experience with Yoga, natural healing became a focal point in both my personal and professional life.
The Journey into Sound
One day, while at a local fair, I discovered a sound healing session led by Crown of Eternity. The resonating sounds from the multiple gongs and bowls vibrated through my entire body, right down to my core. To my surprise, I had started meditating and deep breathing as if I was in a yoga class, by just standing there and listening! How could that be?! I was immediately hooked.
Sound Healing
I had signed up and started attending individual sound healing sessions and gong baths. The sense of self, deep peace, and rejuvenation was something I had never experienced before. Since then, I have been studying sound therapy and energy work since 2013. In 2012 I was overweight (weighing 398 lbs) I was working in a career that some aspect of which I loved but others were so stressful that I was using either food or alcohol to self soothe so I could sleep. I started by loosing weight. After a medical procedure I lost 100 lbs, then I needed to reconnect with this new body. I started yoga and in 2013 found a sound therapist. The next 50 lbs came off slowly but surely and I started to be able to quiet my mind to relax. After struggling with many successes and set backs I stopped using alcohol. I would have never had a reason to do this without my new practice. After I quit partaking in the spirits, my spirit found a new level of peace. I started to study sound massage and sound medicine so I could share these practices that made such an impact on my life. The next 50 lbs melted off! In between, I’ve established Rooted In Sound so that others can experience the multiple, positive effects that sound healing can have.
The Next Chapter
During the pandemic I partnered with Harmonic Egg Wellness to bring that technology to the area and started on my health and wellness training with IIN. I felt like there was a component missing in the healing work I was doing. In 2021, I sold Gardenalia to the employees that loved what they did and moved onto my next chapter.
The marriage between coaching and the meditation practices are transforming peoples lives. From physical issues to emotional and spiritual, this combination has helped 100’s of people conquer fear of change and start manifesting the future they want.
The next step was to partner with other providers and healers.
You will notice that some of the services are now provided by other healers. Many that have helped me on my journey are now walking part of that trail with me in providing a more robust menu of services and tools for you to use.
We have chosen to work with only the best!
