from Personal Truth
My path to sound healing didn't begin in a classroom or workshop, it began in a hospital room. In 2019, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer. Then during the COVID-19 pandemic, my partner Chad was hospitalized in critical condition.
"I transformed that hospital room into a healing space, calling upon the saints and angels, playing sacred chants and frequencies 24 hours a day."
Chad was also the one who introduced me to my first singing bowl and encouraged me to create meditation music. That sacred, emotional moment gave birth to what is now Saints & Angels Healing Through Sound.
This work isn't about chasing a cure. It's about creating an environment where the body can relax, regulate, and support its own healing process, rooted in over 30 years of experience as a musician, DJ, and now sound practitioner.
A Sacred Sound Temple
Located in Chicago's Gold Coast / Old Town neighborhood at 1223 N LaSalle Drive, a soundproof sanctuary designed to guide your nervous system from fight-or-flight into deep restoration.
Chicago's Newest Sound Healing Studio
Intentionally built with clouds and angels décor, chakra-colored lighting, and the most comfortable cushions and blankets, a sensory experience that begins working from the moment you enter.
Five Foundations. One Method.
The Musical Foundation
Classical Piano · NYC House MastersClassically trained on piano from a young age and fluent in music theory, Peter went on to work under the masters of house music in New York: Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Paul Oakenfold, and more, learning how to build an emotional arc on a dance floor: tension, release, transcendence. He has been moving rooms with sound for more than 30 years.
The Broadcasts
Heaven’s Lounge · 2006 → Insight Timer TodayIn 2006 Peter created Heaven’s Lounge, a podcast still sought after today for the healing and transcendence of each journey. Then came Running to the Beat and Cycle to the Beat: frequency-driven classes that propelled listeners off the couch and onto the road. Running to the Beat is still on iTunes, and today Peter teaches on Insight Timer. Find Peter on Insight Timer →
The Diagnosis That Became a Study
Soul Remember, London · 2019–2021Diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Peter was handed his first crystal bowl by his partner Chad: look into sound healing. He did. He trained at Soul Remember in London in 2019, then spent two years in deep study: brainwaves, isochronic tones, binaural beats, how sound relaxes the nervous system, why it works, and what it could mean for his own healing.
The Healing Temple
Lived ExperienceWhen Chad was hospitalized in critical condition during the pandemic, Peter turned that hospital room into a healing temple: sacred chants and healing frequencies around the clock. The work stopped being study and became devotion.
Pranic Healing
With Master CoPeter studied Pranic Healing directly with Master Co in a rare three-day intensive, an opportunity the master offers only about once a decade, learning to work with the body’s energy field to clear, balance, and restore.
Every thread, from the theory and the dance floor to the diagnosis, the devotion, and the energy work, laid the foundation for what is now DRIFT™: A Saints & Angels Experience. Once Peter understood every instrument and its possibility, he composed his own methods, proven session after session: DRIFT™, Feel It to Heal It, The Car Wash, and Align & Flow.
Composed, Not Played.
When someone walks into the studio, we want one recognition to land before a single bowl is struck: this is unlike anywhere else. That recognition doesn’t come from luck. It comes from consistency, intention, and artistry.
My role is not simply to play beautiful sounds. It is to guide you through a carefully composed journey: one that begins with grounding, unfolds with intention, and ends in calm, clarity, and renewal.
My work is not about proving that one tuning or healing system is “better” than another. It is about using the musical qualities of every instrument intentionally: sequencing, layering, contrasting, and resolving, until the room moves as one piece of music. I am not presenting frequencies. I am composing a nervous-system journey.
The Orchestra
Think of the bowls as sections of an orchestra, each with a specific role. The foundation, a 37-inch D and a 27-inch C, is not just low notes. Those bowls establish trust, safety, and stillness. When they begin to sing, the room slows down.
Every musical decision answers one question: what experience am I creating in this moment?
My Mother, My Guardian Angel
For years my mother, Nancy, told me the same thing: follow your gift. When she passed, the gift she left me is what finally made Saints and Angels possible. I do not believe she ever left.
She lives in this studio. Rearranging a room was what she loved most in life, and she has never stopped: every piece in that space was placed by her hands or guided by them. Guests feel the care in the room before a single bowl is played. That is her work.
And I am not the only one who feels her. When I first opened, a client was lying down for grounding, the VibraPoint humming before her session had even begun, when she said she felt a woman’s presence in the room. Then she called her by name. Nancy.
She works alongside the saints and angels this studio is named for. She is my guardian angel, and she is in every session.
More Than a Sound Bath —
A Full Body Reset
Multi-Layered Frequencies
Not one-size-fits-all. Every session uses carefully layered tones, instruments, and digital frequencies to create a resonant field around your body, one you don't just hear, you feel.
Brainwave Guidance
Sessions are designed to guide you toward the slower theta and delta range, where deep relaxation, emotional release, and nervous system regulation naturally occur.
Personalized to You
Private sessions begin with a frequency scan to identify energetic imbalances. No two bodies are the same, and no two sessions should be either.
Breathwork Integration
Each session opens with intentional breathwork to regulate the body and prepare it for deep sound immersion, setting the foundation for true nervous system release.
Angelic Invocation
Spiritual depth is woven throughout, calling upon Archangel Michael for protection, Raphael for healing, and Uriel for grounding, creating a sacred container for your journey.
Immersive Environment
Surround sound, chakra lighting, soundproofed walls, and premium comfort materials, every sensory detail is curated to deepen your experience from the moment you arrive.
Every Instrument Is
Intentionally Chosen
An arsenal of 70+ crystal bowls, from pure crystal to yellow aventurine and sapphire, spanning 8″ to 37″ in full 432 Hz and 440 Hz orchestras. A concert-scale collection, like a symphony for the nervous system, anchored by our rare 37″ D-note 440 Hz bowl, nearly impossible to find, it lands deeper than any other large bowl and recalibrates emotional balance.
Healing That Works on
Every Level
Every Body. Every Journey.
Sound healing meets you exactly where you are. Saints & Angels welcomes anyone from ages 7 to 85, whether you're navigating a health challenge, carrying emotional weight, or simply craving stillness.
Nervous System Dysregulation
Living in fight, flight, or freeze? Sessions are specifically designed to guide your body back into rest-and-repair, naturally and without effort.
Anxiety, Insomnia & Chronic Stress
When the mind won't quiet and sleep won't come, sound frequencies create the conditions your nervous system has been waiting for.
Trauma, Grief & Emotional Weight
Stored trauma lives in the body. Vibrational sound therapy offers a gentle, non-verbal path to release what words can't reach.
Chronic Pain & Inflammation
When the body is in a regulated state, it supports its own healing more effectively. Sound baths are a complement to medical care, never a substitute for it.
Burnout, ADD/ADHD & Mental Fog
Deep brainwave states restore clarity, focus, and calm, offering a reset that feels both effortless and profound.
Spiritual Seekers & Those Simply Curious
No prior experience needed. Whether you're deeply spiritual or sound-curious, Saints & Angels holds space for every level of the journey.
