Free webinar with Hanna Pakkala:
When you're feeling stuck
and don't know what to do with yourself...
...Music Moves You.
Many of us have been there:
Feeling stuck.
You know, those days when you wake up feeling like you've worked all night.The to-do list is long, but you can't even decide which clothes to wear.
(And not everyone can just stay in bed all day, like Charlie.)
Discipline rarely helps.
And yet we often try to just push through. Because staying where we are, stuck knee-deep in the tension between what we think we need to be doing and what we actually feel like, seems even worse.
In this webinar we explore how music and sound can help us stop fighting, tune into what we really need in that moment, and find the way through the door, instead of hitting our heads on the wall for another hour.
Why sound healing?
Music moves us.
You might have a favorite song that always makes you smile or cry.Or sometimes when you feel a bit off and hear a really melancholic tune, you might notice that you suddenly feel lighter afterwards.Music helps us notice our emotions and expresses them on our behalf. Once acknowledged and expressed, sadness or anger can shift, and we have a chance to feel something different.In this webinar, we explore
how different sounds can calm down or stir up our energy
how our bodies can feel what we hear
how that can help us find the next step forward
"This morning I was feeling just like your [sound healing track] intro says: waking up feeling like I'd worked all night, thoughts spinning, sluggish and knowing a walk would help but not moving. All that.I listened to the track again and now I feel so much more motivated. While listening, I could feel the sounds swirling and moving the stagnant energy, until it started to break up. Now I AM actually going to go for a walk. So, thank you!"

My highest intentions are that you
find new ways to relax in the middle of your busy day
notice when the first symptoms of feeling stuck creep in, and learn how to step out of that track
become aware of how the sounds in your environment make you feel, and have some ideas about how to counterbalance that
This webinar is for you, if you
like listening to music, and are curious about how it can support your wellbeing
are tired of words and strategies
crave for a rest of your own thoughts, and need some support with that
It's not for you, if you
are suffering from acute or severe mental illness. This work can be therapeutic, but I'm not a clinically trained therapist. Depending on your situation, I might be able to refer you to someone else.
Monday, October 5th
at 11 am PST / 7 pm BST / 9 pm EET
Live on Zoom - recording available
The 1.5-hour webinar includes
a short presentation of the principles of my work
a practical exercise to awaken our listening capacity
a sound healing demonstration
a chance to ask questions and share your experiences afterwards.
You will have access to a recording of the first three parts of the webinar afterwards, as well as a transcript of the sharing and Q&A.You can choose a topic to feel into during the sound healing demonstration. It could be anything from a small annoyance to a big decision, something that you tend to get stuck on. It is also perfectly fine to just show up and let the moment bring up what is ready to be shifted.Wear comfy clothes, be prepared to sit or lay down comfortably, and if you can, choose a space where you can be undisturbed for 1,5 hours.Set up your best speakers or headphones! We are so used to listening to things from our phone's speakers that we easily forget how much more realistic and complete things sound, even with the small headphones.
"I used to feel panic around unfinished plans: my mind would go into a loop where one fearful thought would trigger the next.Since working with Hanna, I don't have to enter that loop anymore. I am able to stay calm when other people change their plans at the last minute, and often someone else spontaneously reaches out and offers the help I need!Hanna has a phenomenal calming and allowing presence. I can share anything with her and trust that she will not judge it. What astonishes me is that her sessions create access to the vast spaciousness and limitless possibilities, while they also bring me into more direct contact with my own body and mind.This creates not just relaxation, but an ongoing positive shift in the state of my nervous system."K.A.

I'm Hanna,
a recovering perfectionist and a lifelong learner.
I feel closest to my purpose when I can combine music, somatic awareness, and emotional healing.
I spent 15 years working full-time as a musician and reached a lot of typical career goals, like a permanent orchestral job, recordings and a teaching position at a university.I also came close to burnout and an identity crisis, and started to look for new ways of doing what I love.Through a solo recording project, I discovered the healing potential within the sound of my instrument and my voice.I began studying various healing modalities and became a Reiki master and a certified Adrien Blackwell Method energy healer. I also hold Master of Music degrees from universities in Helsinki, Finland, and Weimar, Germany.Other strong influences in my approach are the Alexander Technique and the Feldenkrais Method, which I've been studying since my early twenties.I love creating a safe space for people to feel into their own solutions beyond just analyzing the problems, with intuitive sound improvisations and other healing techniques.My approach has already helped people to overcome sleep issues and anxiety, reduce physical pain and emotional overwhelm, and shift their everyday life experience for the better, permanently.
