Hi, I’m Diana Egizi…
I offer myself as a soul voice embodiment guide, sacred vocalist, songstress and cacao ceremonialist devoted to awakening transformative Love in service to personal and collective healing.
As a vocal embodiment guide, I primarily help heart-centered women empower their authentic, intuitive soul voice as a sacred, healing instrument.
On our journey of vocal rooting and blossoming, I’m here to support you to confidently embody your unique sound, re-weave your Wholeness and reclaim your Divine Creative Power.
Weaving my background in performance with the mystical and healing arts, my offerings are imbued with the potency of courageous self-exploration, radical self-love and reverence for the sacred within and all around.
A Peek Into My Journey
In my early 20’s, I hit rock bottom due to crippling, self-destructive shame, self-hatred and self-criticism. Even though I had been singing most of my life – with years of voice lessons and theatre training – at that point my voice had seemed to disappear. I did not sing anymore. I felt completely estranged from myself, from my creativity, from joy and from Love.
It took a big initiation of pain and suffering to show me just how much I’d abandoned myself and let critical, self-judging stories shut down my soul song and sense of goodness within. At that time, I entered a 12-step group wherein I finally began to reconnect to my voice and re-discovered my longing to create song. Soon after, I was led to mantra, kirtan, Reiki, and plant medicines, which have all offered powerful initiations and healing for my voice and my soul.
The ways I have come to resurrect love for myself and my voice is central to what I offer in this work. The journey continues to this day as I continue to learn, grow and courageously step into ever-unfolding layers of myself and my path.
as a soul voice guide…
I tend to both the voice and the soul . This means exploring layers of healing through embodiment that goes far beyond “voice lessons”. What we are doing together is both grounded in the physical plane and often taps into mystical, multi-dimensional layers, with attunement to the pace and needs of your ever-unfolding moment.
As a sacred vocalist & songstress…
I offer my voice as an instrument for healing in ceremonial and ritual spaces, kirtans (devotional mantra chanting), as well as through original music. My soul-songs serve as invitations into the heart, prayers for profound healing, and offerings of Ever-Abiding Love.
LINEAGE OF TEACHINGS
I am so grateful for the many ways I have been privileged to learn and grow. I count all of my experiences as valuable, influential gifts that weave into my offerings.
It is humbling to both see all the many experiences in life that are not “certifiable” and yet can lead to great wisdom and skills, while at the same time acknowledging that there are certain trainings, apprenticeships and studies that are transformational and important pillars of our life’s paths.
Here are some of the teachers and teachings that have influenced me, and I hope this will inspire you to consider the value of your own experiences, resources and lineages.
