Live Drums & RhythmScapes with Stella
Nothing beats the impact of Live Music!
* A captivating Soundscape is created for your event using a buffet of percussion
highlighting the deep primal sounds of tribal drums and other hand drums like the djembe, bongos and tabla for
hypnotic grooves. These can be played slowly in trance-like inducing rhythmic phrases or 'just-wanna-dance' rhythms.
I combine these drums with the mystical 'Hand pan' drum and other melodious percussion such as the toungue drum, kalimba, chimes, finger cymbals, tuning forks, singing bowls and more.

or upbeat and exciting and everything in between!

Senior drumming
Drumming with seniors offers significant benefits, improving cognitive function (memory, focus), emotional well-being (reducing anxiety, depression, stress), and physical health (motor skills, coordination, mobility, light cardio) through accessible, non-verbal, and social rhythmic engagement, fostering community and joy while providing a powerful outlet for expression. It's a fun, inclusive way to boost mood, build confidence, and maintain overall vitality, even for those with cognitive or physical challenges.
MY WHY
I believe that Rhythm is a natural aspect of all existence.
Everyone is a part of that!
Rhythm is in every beating Heart, inhales and exhales, the ebb and flow of tides, the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon, the change of Seasons, the orbits of the planets around the Sun, and on and on...
Rhythm is cycles, repeating patterns and is even ancient technology that was used to communicate, heal the sick and alter consciousness to higher states of awareness.
Science has proven over and over again, the numerous Heath benefits that Drumming can have on our physical and mental health.
Drumming and Rhythm are powerful tools for healing, upliftment, unlocking our Truest Selves- and even radical transformation.
I have experienced the power of Rhythm and the power of the Drum in my own personal life as well as witnessing first-hand the radical transformational experiences of so many others.
My passion to share the Gift of Rhythm with others is equalled by my passion to bring people together and help make our World a better place!

WHY DRUMMING IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE
Here’s why drumming is good for you:
1 Makes you happy. Participate in a drum circle or take a cardio drumming class and you will see how happy it makes you. Drumming releases endorphins, enkephalins and Alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria.
2 Induces deep relaxation. In one study, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones.
3 Helps control chronic pain. Drumming can certainly serve as a distraction from pain. And, it promotes the production of endorphins and endogenous opiates, which are the body’s own morphine-like painkillers.
4 Boosts your immune system. Studies show that drumming circles boost the immune system. Barry Bittman, MD, neurologist and President of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute (http://www.yamahainstitute.org/), has shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells, which help the body combat cancer as well as other viruses, including AIDS.
5 Creates a sense of connectedness. Drumming circles and group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity” in that you connect with your own spirit at a deeper level while also connecting with other like-minded people.
6 Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow.” Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.
7 Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind, body and spirit. They focus on the whole body and then integrate the healing at both the physical and spiritual level by drumming, which connects spiritual forces.
8 Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings. When held, negative emotions can form energy blockages. The physical stimulation of hitting the drums can help remove those blockages. Drumming has even been used therapeutically to help addicts deal with their emotions.
9 Puts you in the present moment. While drumming you are moving your awareness toward the flow of life. When you are flowing with the rhythm of life you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future.
10 Allows for personal transformation. Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group, you not only get to self-express, but you get feedback from the other drummers. It’s the equivalent of talk therapy! Drum circles provide a means of exploring your inner self, and expanding your consciousness while being part of a community.
