Founder, Owner, Sound Healer, Reiki Master
Amy Hudson is the founder and owner of The Sound Healing Center of Lexington, a space dedicated to holistic healing in Lexington, KY. With a deep passion for sound healing and reiki, Amy has spent years refining her craft, blending the power of sound with reiki to create an immersive, healing experience.
Her journey into sound healing began in 2018 at a retreat, where a brief yet powerful moment with a crystal tuning fork, guided by practitioner Nicole Casteel, activated her Heart Chakra. This experience opened a spiritual path that led Amy to establish The Sound Healing Center of Lexington.
Driven by the vision of creating a sanctuary for healing, Amy has carefully crafted a space where individuals can rest, recharge, and reconnect with their inner selves. She believes that sound is not just a tool but a gift—a way to meditate, process emotions, and find grounding in life’s challenges. Amy shares this gift with others through her work at the center, offering a space where healing is a right, not a privilege.

Sound Healer, Professional Handpan Player
In the summer of 2017, Pete's heart led him to explore Rav Vast steel tongue drums. He specifically resonated with a drum in the scale of B Celtic Minor. Little did he know at the time, it would prove instrumental in his healing journey after a major health scare that fall.
Post-recovery, Pete's focus shifted towards meditation and embracing the present moment. His first drum played a crucial role in this process. Subsequently, in 2018, while battling depression, he was guided to yet another drum while spending time in the woods. At each juncture since that initial drum, he discovered additional scales tailored to his circumstances, nurturing his outlook on life. These instruments became conduits for mystery, tranquility, introspection, and healing. Pete's dedication to these instruments and their sound healing capabilities is unwavering.
Pete started his journey as a sound healer right around the pandemic and, in 2022, began offering 1-on-1 private sound healing sessions and group sessions with Handpans. With each scale, he provides unique notes and frequencies to awaken calmness, peace, and whatever else needs to come up within you in a safe environment. Pete is also a professional handpan player and partner with Rav Vast.

Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, Sound Healer
Adam Sutherland's journey into mindfulness and meditation began during a pivotal moment in his life. After decades of struggling with depression, he discovered a profound sense of peace by cultivating inner stillness and embracing life's challenges with a beginner’s mind. His exploration into how sound affects the brain and body revealed its power as a meditative focal point, leading him to appreciate the profound role of musical harmony and resonance in promoting balance and well-being.
