Serenity
Lab
Hi, I’m Ourah!
Glad to meet you.
I teach relaxation and focus as refinable skills using therapeutic sound and movement.
What does that mean, exactly?
Well, I believe that anyone can get better at relaxing, and it’s actually really important to develop and hone that ability, just as you would any skill.
Most of us constantly practice activation of our physical body, mind and emotions. We’ve been taught to value action and doing, and we become hooked on emotional intensity, especially those sticky negative loops.
Do you crave relief from tension?
I’m here to encourage balance through decompression and ease. I’ll help you free up energy and space within yourself, which naturally leads to more peace and clarity during the day and better sleep at night.
With my professional backgrounds in Chinese medicine and the arts, we’ve got lots of tools and methods to choose from, including taiji quan, qigong, dance, breathwork, guided meditation, self-massage and therapeutic sound.

What makes you feel free?
Sometimes people are afraid to let go of tension, because if we’re not efforting or suffering, we are judged as lazy (by others and perhaps especially by ourselves).
Finding ease is not about giving up your power or becoming inert. Rather, it’s about being able to choose the way you experience the present moment, regardless of your external circumstances.
That, to me, is the ultimate freedom.
Want to join me?
With every session and client, my goal is to help you:
Keep asking questions and learning, infuse your approach to the world with appreciation and delight, and always remain open to awe.
Spark wonder
Reconnect internally to your mind and body, walk in harmony with your world and cultivate positive synergies with your external environment.
Nurture connection
Absorb the world with beauty-seeking senses, in whatever form beauty resonates with you, to nourish a foundational sense of serenity and fulfillment

Testimonials

I just wanted to say how grateful I am [for] classes such as the Sound Baths and Intro to Soundscapes taught by Ourah. These have been so valuable for my physical and mental health, I really look forward to each one. Ourah does a great job of planning the content and connecting with the students. I am planning to bring a couple of friends to the next Sound Bath.

My core strength, endurance and balance has improved, and perhaps most important a sense of tranquility experienced during and after the class. I have not previously attended a class whereby the emotional and physical benefits are so apparent. I go to great lengths to attend. No matter how tired I may feel beforehand, I always feel the benefit of having participated. Ourah is knowledgeable, patient, and has a sense of humor.

Not only is Ourah an incredibly skilled and agile teacher, able to think on her feet and manage both small and large groups, but how she delivers information and the teachings that she offers is so beautiful, so unique and so needed. I have felt her authentic care for students and love for teaching and her art since the very first class I took with her.
