Candace Keach

Candace Keach is a classical flutist and sound therapist. Formal studies were completed at the University of Georgia and at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. She is principal flutist in the Macon Symphony Orchestra and has created the sound healing CD, “as Above so Below”, in which flutes, quartz crystal bowls and synthesizer weave a sonic experience of nature’s elements around scientific principles of sound therapy.

Candace trained with sound therapist, Wayne Perry in Los Angeles, and with the creator of BioSonics, Dr. John Beaulieu, in New York, learning the art of toning, vocal harmonics, voice analysis and scanning, as well as the theory and use of tuning forks, the bija mantras, five element music and voice energetics. With sound pioneer, Jill Purce, in London, England, Candace has experienced sound as a tool for repatterning ancestral programming.

Candace is also an Associate Polarity Practitioner and Karuna/Usui Reiki Master. She facilitates the monthly Atlanta Toning Circle and is director of SOS - Spiral of Sound Crystal Bowl Choir. Candace maintains a busy schedule of lectures and concerts.
