Today we’d like to introduce you to Cindy Incorvaia.
Hi Cindy, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Music has been the language of my soul since I was a child. My father kept cassette tapes in his sporty pickup truck, and I remember playing songs on repeat as it sat in the driveway. My favorite was the 1969 hit by Three Dog Night. “One.” Poetic, moody, stirring. I joined the school band in the 3rd grade as first-chair flute. Little could I have imagined more than sixty years later, my musical journey would expand far beyond traditional instruments leading me into the world of frequency and vibrations. Sound healing instruments are purposed to play gently close to the body to be felt deeply as one lay quietly receiving. I own a chau gong, two drone harps, crystal singing bowls, a clay flute called the innato, a silver flute, two wood flutes from the Indonesian forest, a custom native bass-C lute, and an ngoni – a west aftrican harp, and more. The vibrations of these instruments gently interface with the body’s parasympathetic nervous and endocrine systems inviting deep relaxation, restoration and well-being.
Music wasn’t simply something I listened to or performed as a young girl—it became a pathway to connection, wonder, and healing now expressed in my soulful sound practice. I play at resorts, Yoga centers, women’s circles, and private/semi private groups.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
A major turning point in my life occured in 2019 when I leaned against a wood railing and it gave way 13 feet above ground. I fell backwards onto cement and incurred some horrible injuries including a crushed aorta, collapsed lung, lacerated kidney, and many broken bones. It was an official NDE as my blood pressure plummeted to a very low number and I lay bleeding and unconscious on the ground. In that state I later reflected a feeling deep within of a profound sense of being loved – simply because i existed, and that my life was important (as all lives are important). As part of my healing journey my friend Katia invited me to a sound healing experience and I felt the vibrations of singing crystal bowls for the first time. These frequencies penetrated deep into the fascia of my body leaving me feeling as if I’d had a premier massage. I never looked back as I continued to attend these sound baths slowly acquiring my own set of bowls and other exotic instruments.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Many are answering the call to bring healing through sound. The name that suits me best is Sacred Sound Practitioner. Sacred because these sounds reach deep into the heart and spirit often bringing epiphanies to the receiver. When the intention is set to allow these sounds and vibrations to interface with our human body healing in one form or another often comes – if even reaching a calmer more relaxed state. Being a silver flute player I have added Native wood flutes and South American clay flutes to my collection. I also use the vibrations from stringed instruments such as monoharps and therapy harps to placed on the body, I also play a patatonic stringed instrument called the Ngoni, a West African harp made from a large gourd with a long neck and nylon strings attached. Using my intuitive gift, I orchestrate each soundbath to suit the group or individual listening making it a custom sound experience. Toning with the voice is also applied, and often a spontaneous heart song will emerge. The feedback steers me to continue these songs and flow-style to accommodate any group.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
I work with two other practitioners in a band called Soulful Soundbath who also have their own collection of instruments including a concert harp and a singing crystal harp activated by water on the fingers. I volunteer in my community at a larger soundbath raising funds for Bishwa Seva Foundation helping school children in Nepal. Collaboration among practioners aligns us with the combination of the instruments we play together. A famous African saying, “I Am. Because I am, we are. Therefore I am.” This signifies connection and unity among all humans who share the same planet and find the highest quality of life when working and existing in harmony together.
Pricing:
- $150. for private and small group
- $400 for larger groups requiring 3 practioners
