Sound Healing Practitioner - Nina Hakamies - Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia

About Nina

Nina grew up with classical music in her native Finland where she played the violin and sang in choirs, starting at a young age. Sound has always accompanied her in her travels around the world, and in 2021 she graduated as a sound healing practitioner from the Sound Healing Academy. Despite being fluent in four languages, sound and music have been the greatest language and bridge that have allowed her to connect with others in the most extraordinary ways. Nina lives permanently in Australia’s Central Victoria where she offers sound healing sessions, yoga & mindfulness classes and nature walks for both individuals and groups. She currently uses singing bowls, gongs, chimes, drums and the voice as part of her main offerings; this will expand to include other instruments in the future, such as the harp and monochord.

Nina is a yoga and mindfulness facilitator and a public & mental health professional, with over 20 years of experience in bringing health and wellbeing tools to individuals, community groups, organisations and businesses. In addition to working with 1:1 clients in sound healing, she specialises in workplace wellbeing and programs for the corporate, academic, public and not-for profit sectors. One of her recent highlights is working with the veteran community members who experienced first-hand the positive effects of sound and vibration in relation to stress and tinnitus.

In her work, Nina incorporates elements of sound, silence, breath, mindfulness, meditation and yoga to awaken our innate ability to heal and transform. Nature is a great source of inspiration and you will often hear Nina say “Silence is golden, speaking is silver” which has a special reference to her Nordic heritage, deeply rooted in nature, mythology and spirituality.
