Lana is creator of ReikiSound™, ReikiVoice™, Soundwise Voice and Introduction to the Fundamentals for Beginning to Use Sound, Voice and Music in the Healing Arts, as well as the student manuals for each. Both ReikiSound and ReikiVoice came from her original curriculum and manuals introducing bodyworkers, healthcare providers and energy practitioners to sound therapy beginning in 2001.  This later evolved into VoiceSpeak and then ReikiSound and ReikiVoice. Because of Lana's commitment to her own education, both the manuals and curriculum are updated continually. Bringing 25 years of training and education in the allopathic health care field into her holistic practice benefits her students and clients in offering them the best of both worlds. She is an active sound practitioner since 2001 and has been blessed to study with some of the most respected, well-known teachers in the field over the past 20 years.
