In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with my friend and mentor of over a decade, Kanti Freeman from Divine Harmony. We explore Kanti's personal healing journey and how it led her to embrace holistic health through transformative modalities.

Kanti, a Sound Therapist, Gong Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Practitioner, is dedicated to helping individuals tap into their essential nature. Through Sound Baths, Yoga classes, and Reiki sessions, she aims to inspire and provide support, particularly during those transitional life moments that hold the potential for meaningful transformations.
