I’m a Sound Healing Practitioner and Reiki Master, with a background in Kundalini yoga and traditional shamanic practices. My work is devoted to helping people slow down, restore balance, and handle their day-to-day lives with more ease.
My path began long before I ever picked up a crystal singing bowl. I grew up in the world of ballet—a discipline that shaped my way of being. Dance taught me devotion, precision, presence, and the quiet power of listening to the body. I had the opportunity to train with Boston Ballet, which deeply influenced my foundation in movement and awareness.
Hi -I’m Kristine
Hari Shabad
Motherhood—and the challenges of postpartum depression and my son’s epilepsy diagnosis—deepened that calling. In searching for ways to support both of us, I found Kundalini yoga, meditation, and eventually, sound healing.
For over two decades, I’ve studied and integrated a range of healing modalities. I’ve worked with individuals navigating neurological conditions, chronic pain, stress, and emotional burnout—including those facing cancer, Down syndrome, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. My approach brings together traditional practices, sound, and guided awareness to help people slow down, restore balance, and reconnect with their body’s natural ability to heal.
Today, through The Sound Path, I bring together Reiki, sound healing, meditation, and traditional shamanic practices to create experiences that are grounding, spacious, and deeply restorative. Whether in a private session, group setting, or corporate environment, the intention remains the same: to help you feel more settled, more steady, and more connected to yourself.

My work is rooted in one simple belief:
Healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you've always been
Meditation is one of the tools in my toolbox that I wouldn't live without.
When a career-ending injury took me off that path, everything shifted. What felt like an ending became my first real experience with healing. That period led me into teaching, then into injury recovery, Pilates, and Gyrotonic work. I began working alongside rehabilitation specialists, supporting individuals recovering from physical trauma. Without realizing it at the time, I was already on this path.

The Sound Path was born from my deep relationship with sound as both a healing force and a guiding teacher.
Working with crystal singing bowls, I came to understand sound not just as vibration, but as a language of strength, clarity, and truth.
And the word ‘path’ has always symbolized movement, direction, and the purpose that carries us forward.
Together, they reflect my approach: using sound to open, clear, and realign the energetic pathways of the body.
The Sound Path is the journey we take when we harmonize the inner landscape — a return to balance, coherence, and the deeper wisdom within.
Why I Chose the Name “The Sound Path”
In 2006, my Kundalini Yoga teacher gave me the spiritual name Hari Shabad.
In the Sikh and yogic traditions:
Hari refers to the Divine, the One who removes blocks and brings light.
Shabad means sacred sound, the divine vibration, or the song of the soul.
Together, Hari Shabad speaks to the divine sound that clears the way — a name I didn’t realize would one day match the path I walk. At the time, I didn’t connect with it. I tucked the name away and moved on, not realizing how deeply it would weave into my life.
Years later, everything changed the moment I first heard the resonance of crystal singing bowls. Their sound moved through me in a way I couldn’t explain — familiar, ancient, and unmistakably aligned. Only then did the meaning of my spiritual name return to me. And it finally made sense.
Have you ever received a gift you didn’t appreciate at first? Something you set aside, only to rediscover later with gratitude because now you understand its purpose?
That is exactly what my spiritual name has become for me.
A gift I wasn’t ready for then… but deeply honor now.
I am proud to carry the name Hari Shabad, and grateful for the quiet, serendipitous
way it revealed its truth.
