Meet Gwen

ABOUT GWEN

Sound healer, best selling author, and keynote speaker, Gwen Alyssa Gaydos, began her professional journey as a pharmacist over two decades ago. Naturally drawn to holistic practices, she became a health and life coach, Reiki Master, yoga teacher, and meditation guide. In 2011, she attended her first soundbath, and found her calling as a Sound Healer.

Gwen is passionate about teaching mindfulness and sound, and coaching her clients to help release stress and stored trauma, rebalance the body, refresh the mind, and connect with the heart. She believes that you are your own greatest healer, and connecting with yourself through your intuition is the key to access vibrant health, happiness and joy! 

Gwen is based on Los Angeles, and currently leads Soundbaths and Sound Healers’ Trainings online and in person worldwide. Gwen has worked with companies such as Google, Universal Music Group, Ogilvy and Mather, Carolina Herrera, Rare Beauty, The Fairmont, Terranea Resort, The Soho House, The International Association of Women, The Olive Tree People, The Wonderful Company, Santa Monica College, and Crossroads School. Gwen has worked with numerous celebrity clients, and can also be found on two prestigious mindfulness apps: Unplug Meditation and The Mindry.

Her vision is to live in a world filled with peace, harmony, and love, where the earth and all beings are happy, peaceful, and free, and are treated respectfully and equally.

Her Mission

My mission is to help raise human consciousness, and open humans up to the possibility that all living beings are equals and deserve to live a healthy, happy, peaceful and free life! I do this by helping raise your frequency through my signature programs, classes, and events. I also help to spread the word about equality and compassion for animals and animal rights through social media, supporting sustainable and cruelty free consumer goods companies, and supporting family farms only that treat animals with respect, quality care (including good food, friends, and exercise) and give them the full, happy lives that they deserve. I do not support factory farming or companies that use animals for entertainment, research, or anything else at the expense of their health or wellbeing. By sharing soundbaths, energy healing, coaching, and mindfulness in fun and inspiring ways, my goal is to reach millions of people and enhance their lives while improving the world for all in which we live.

Personal Journey

Growing up in the 70s and 80s in the Midwest as the daughter of a psychologist and a lover of all nature, I had my first yoga experience at the age of 5 with my mother. This was the beginning of my love for natural, healthy living. During and after college, I searched to find more meaning and purpose in my life, who I really was, and live my life fully and passionately. I wanted to help people live a more healthy life, which led me to a career as a Pharmacist. After a few years behind the counter, I personally started seeing a Naturopath to help me balance my emotions and body while I was going through a very hard time. He helped me heal and strengthen my body, mind, and spirit— all naturally! As I got to know him better, he encouraged me to study Naturopathy, and offered to teach me.  Soon after, I became his protégé sitting in on hundreds of patients over a few years time. Finally, in 2007, after taking a series of Certifications, I opened my own practice as a Holistic Health Counselor. In 2010 I became a Reiki Healer to help heal myself even more. Energy healing was new to me, and pretty unpopular at the time, but it was so powerful, and I loved it. A year later I was a Reiki Master. I wanted to share this Reiki with everyone and teach it to others!  So I did. I kept learning, and a couple years later I became a Certified Life Coach, and then, after almost 2 decades and years of practicing different styles of yoga-  Bikram to Jivamukti to Ashtanga to Vinyasa- I followed my love for yoga and became an instructor. More recently, I studied and became a Mediation Teacher in 2018 and Sound Healer with the Sound Healer’s Academy.

Besides my work, I love travel and adventure, cortados, the ocean, yoga, anything Italian, children, all animals, my two kitties Angelica and Amelia, comedy, learning languages, photography, philosophy, my fabulous friends from all around the globe, my loyal, supportive family, being a free spirit, enjoying the journey, growth and enlightenment, serving others, and, of course, dark chocolate!
