Who are we? | Soundala Therapy

Soundala Therapy was founded in 2016 by Psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Sound Healing Therapist Rida Kıraşı.

At Soundala, we create sound and art projects, offer individual voice and meditation sessions within a somatic experiencing framework, organize sound bath events, release sound meditation albums, and hold workshops on mindfulness and sound meditation.

In 2017, musician and composer Can Dedeoğlu joined the team. He also facilitates sound baths in silence and leads both online and in person group sessions. With the participation of those who have attended Rida’s “Walking the Path of Mindfulness” group, which she has been offering each year since 2015, Soundala has continued to grow and evolve into a tribe.

The Soundala tribe includes people who have completed the “Walking the Path of Mindfulness” program, as well as sound bath practitioners, intuitive nutrition specialists, musicians, yoga teachers, clinical psychologists, academics, Chi Gong teachers and astrologers who offer different practices. Our tribe combines what they have learned in this program with their own authentic tools to hold space for those in need in various ways.
