Nessi Gomes is a musician, an international performing artist, and group facilitator with a bachelor’s degree in creative expressive therapies in music, and a certified Holistic Voice Therapist with The British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) in group voice therapy.
Born on the tiny island of Guernsey (UK), singing and music became Nessi’s way of dealing with challenging life circumstances. From a young age, she discovered the ability to transform discomforts and unspoken emotions by exploring sound with her voice and has continued to root herself more in the therapeutic value of vocal expression.
Nessi’s creative turning point took place 12 years ago upon settling in the community of PachaMama in Costa Rica. The nature of the place has reshaped and deepened her approach toward music, therapy, and self-healing.
In the past 10 years, Nessi has shared her music and voice retreats internationally. In October 2016 she released her debut album Diamonds & Demons.
“Using my voice has helped me on so many levels, nourishing my spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. For 20 years, working with my voice has revealed so much about who I am. It has particularly helped me to connect to the more difficult emotions and give them a channel, allowing this energy to shift and transform. Sound can act as a bridge so that we are able to connect to the joy of our unique expression and to unleash it in its complete beauty safely.”
