"Luisa has such a comforting and calming presence, while being engaging and informational. She is extremely knowledgeable about her areas of expertise, and creates such a safe, mindful, and easy space to learn, relax, and be creative in!"

Honored to have spoken at these districts



Luisa encountered the Handpan for the first time in 2016, an experience that would shape the next decade of her musical path. She has since designed and facilitated over 300+ mindful music programs for school classrooms K-12.  In her workshop she invites participants into the tranquil world of Handpan melodies, capturing the instrument’s imaginative ability to tune into the subtleties of our inner and outer world.

Luisa's dedication to making music accessible to all abilities has lead her to explore music through the lens of sound, deep listening and rhythmic meditation as a pathway to presence. She brings this embodied understanding into her teaching, creating a supportive and inspiring space where students can grow their musical understanding in connection with the natural acoustics of their ecological surroundings.

Luisa believes that everyone is musical, and that learning the Handpan is not only about playing an instrument, but about cultivating presence, sensitivity, and attunement, to ourselves, others and our environment.
