with frequency we are Being
the end of longing is Being
book an experience
The experience that I offer you is sound, frequency, and vibration from instruments with intention and love. Can be combined with a Voice Analysis Harmony.
Instruments include crystal glass singing bowls, buffalo drum, rattle, gong, theta chimes, a vibration table, and a few more.
Sound can help ground our nervous system. Sound delivered with intention and love can have a calming influence upon your brain, your body, and your spirit. It may offer a journey for you to take, or not, depending upon what calls you.
The invitation is to recharge, to refocus on what matters to you most. The sound, vibration, and frequency experience is an opportunity for you to be in a more harmonic state in which the expression of your light isn’t distorted.
Allow about 90 minutes for the experience. About 60 minutes is for sound practice itself, preceded by some meditative time and followed by some coming back time.
No two sound experiences are the same. The instruments and you have a lot to say about how they contribute. Sometimes instruments talk with each other in beautiful harmonics. Intuition carries us through.

saging, tuning forks, ceremonial cacao, herbal tea, essential oil, incense

meet Paul
Paul is a widower who, after experiencing profound personal loss, embarked on a transformative journey into the world of sound healing. With training in the science and art of sound therapy, Paul has integrated this powerful modality into his practice, helping himself and others tap into their inner healing potential through the resonance of sound.
With a compassionate and intentional approach, Paul integrates sound healing into his practice, guiding clients into physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. He believes that sound has the capacity to heal not only the body but also the mind and spirit, offering a path to a deeper sense of peace and balance.
Why sound?
Sound healing is grounded in the principle that everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including the human body. Research in vibrational medicine shows that every cell, organ, and tissue has its own natural frequency. When these frequencies become out of harmony—due to stress, illness, or emotional trauma—sound can be used as a tool to restore balance and stimulate the body’s innate healing abilities.
The practice of sound healing employs various instruments, including tuning forks, gongs, singing bowls, drums, and voice, to create vibrations that help to realign and harmonize the body’s frequencies. These vibrations penetrate the body on a cellular level, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and activating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system.
The health benefits of sound healing are vast and supported by both anecdotal evidence and scientific research. Some of the most recognized benefits include:
Stress Reduction: Sound healing promotes deep relaxation by lowering cortisol levels, which can help reduce chronic stress and anxiety.
Pain Relief: By stimulating the nervous system, sound therapy can release endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers, providing relief from both acute and chronic pain.
Improved Sleep: Sound therapy can help balance brainwave activity, promoting deeper, restorative sleep and addressing insomnia.
Emotional Healing: The vibrational frequencies used in sound healing can help release trapped emotions, leading to greater emotional resilience and mental clarity.
Enhanced Immune Function: Regular exposure to healing sound can boost the immune system by improving cellular function and reducing inflammation.

kind words
Paul is a kind and thoughtful being. He radiates gentle and compassionate love-presence, and brings that into his practice beautifully. Arriving at the space I was kindly greeted and shown around to drop into the experience comfortably knowing the space more and also anything that might be helpful (bathroom, water, etc). We checked in prior to starting which felt helpful. He has a thoughtful, trauma-informed and consent-mindful approach that makes me feel at ease from the beginning, knowing that my preferences and boundaries are asked about and respected. Paul has a depth of experience that goes beyond the years he has put into the practice already. He has a deep intuitive knowing that is palpable during the session. The wisdom of timing, tone, and textures is really helpful to dropping in more deeply to presence, which in turn provides an opportunity to be with what is in the body and mind more effectively. Being held by soothing sounds and caring presence while going inwards is greatly helpful when one has internal knots to be with - meeting any tightness with more ease. The softening I experienced from being able to be present while being held in this space of sound, vibration and care allowed me to more deeply relax and be with what came up for me. The shift in my mind+body+spirit to ground more deeply and relax to deeper states of presence and acceptance of what came up for me was tangibly felt and followed me after the session, creating a peaceful marinade that I am still soaking in. It is evident the care and intention Paul brings into his practice, into sharing his gifts, and co-creating the container with you to feel safe and sound. I highly recommend Paul and the work he does.

All I could say after my first session with Paul was "WOW!" His healing work is simply beyond words.
I've been deeply steeped in energy healing for nearly 12 years, and I work full time as a Shamanic Practitioner, so I've experienced a lot of potent healing. I knew going into the session that Paul was newer to his craft, so I didn't really know what to expect.
I was astonished to experience such a powerful healing. If I didn't know better, I would have assumed Paul had been doing this for years. I left that experience feeling a deep, peaceful, joyful shift inside myself.
I've since had two more beautiful healings with Paul, one at Indian Lake, which was astounding not only for the healing I received, but also to witness the way the trees and plants responded to him as he played his instruments. It felt almost psychedelic at times. My third healing with Paul was when he played for a group fire ceremony that I facilitated. It was an incredible experience, and many participants shared how much they loved that addition to the ceremony afterwards.
Paul's loving heart and pure energy is palpable. He is truly a league of his own as far as sound and vibration healing is concerned. It's clear to me that Paul has found his calling.

I experienced a therapeutic sound experience with Paul Donahue over a year ago and immediately wanted to include him in my sphere of influence. His soothing and approachable nature helped me feel comforted and welcomed into the session. I found him to be quite intuitive as he glided along with the magical instruments - knowing precisely where to take me during my transformative session. I was given visions of creative expression and deep understandings which propelled me forward on my healing journey. I left feeling deeply relaxed while simultaneously inspired!

Paul's sessions are absolutely life-changing! Paul is incredibly talented and compassionate and he provides a unique experience that has been very helpful in reducing stress and increasing my sense of being more grounded and more connected to the world. I've done many sessions with Paul and after each one I feel calmer, more hopeful, and a sense of peace that I've never felt before.

Really good hour of sound. Beautiful time and had a powerful experience. Thank you, Paul!

As someone who’s actively healing from traumatic events, I felt nervous to experience my first sound bath. My nervous system was afraid of being overwhelmed and feeling out of control. Paul made me feel more at ease right away. He embodies a deeply consent-based practice that became apparent as soon as he was describing what to expect. This level of consent is not something I often experience outside of the home. It is so appreciated. My time on the table was quite enjoyable, and I left feeling much better than when I entered. It is clear he’s offering this from a heart-centered place.
- Ryan, Madison, WI
In my personal experience sound baths have helped me in the physical aspect to reduce the level of pain due to ovarian cyst and fibroids and other health issues that doctors haven't been able to pin for years. In the mental aspect the sound baths brings a sense of relaxation and release of stress helping the body to heal and feel more energized and full of vital energy. If you feel ready to start on this amazing experience come with an open heart and mind and you probably will end up releasing energetic attachments that you didn't know you have been carrying for so long and end up feeling like a battery fully charge or light as a feather at the end of the sessions. I would recommend it to anyone who is tired and burned out.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share in a sound journey with Paul. From the moment I arrived, Paul’s care and level of intention was clear, which helped me feel safe to let go into the sound. I feel like the sound healing re-arranged me, I felt a significant shift in my body and mind. One word that keeps coming up is “peace” - this was one of the most peaceful experiences I can remember. I have been practicing anchoring the peace I experienced into my everyday life. I have not experienced sound and music quite the same since. I am so thankful for Paul sharing this magic!

Ecstatic dance, sound bath, and art integration at Wil-Mar…
It was an excellent event. The hosts (Vortasia, Paul, Andrea & Casey) created an amazingly warm, welcoming and sacred space. It was a pleasure to share this event with everyone present. I’m looking forward to more of their co-creations.
It was a well-developed concept with great vibes. Thanks again and, happy new year to everyone.
