My name is Vanisha Mistry. I am a Performer, Vocal Improv Artist, Songwriter and
Expression Coach. I work with Sound and Energy Healing and share my talents in
the Creative Arts. I strive to work in a way that creates a bridge between the
modern day mainstream and the more alternative worlds. I have always been a
creative. And since a young age I have had a deep connection with nature and the
wider sense of the world. In recent years I have come to discover the deep
connection between art and spirituality, and the crossover between these worlds.
I take inspiration from the ancient practise of Shamanism, which draw great
wisdom from the energies of the earth and embodied practises; in our modern day
much of this medicine is lost. However the Arts, whether dance, music or
painting, do touch on this deeper connection to something beyond ourselves, and
I believe this need for artistic Self-Expression is in-fact a tapping into this
ancient medicine and a grand creative force - That which makes our reality
exist. In all my work I strive to uncover this deep creative essence in each
individual. I am professionally trained as a Landscape Architect, qualifying in
2015. My work in this profession didn't sit with me and my mental health took a
hit, as is common with many office based Creatives. After this, I promised
myself that I would not submit myself to mindless work, but discover a truly
sustainable way of living. After several years of travel, exploration and
studies, I have now transitioned into the practise of Sound Therapy and Vocal
Coaching. My travels took me through Europe, to the Spanish Canary Islands,
Australia, South East Asia and India. In each of these places I found that it
was the Music and the Natural environment that brought me alive, however my
background in Music was little to none. In 2017 a knee injury took me away from
dancing and into the path of singing. From close to no experience, I quickly
found this my natural talent. I was on stage performing within 1 year and
improvising live sets with various artists after 2 years. My exploration of Yoga
and Sound Healing developed profoundly in India where I finally understood the
link between sound vibration and the body and was able to apply it myself to my
own healing practise. This long journey has lead me to Today, where I am a
Singer/Song-writer, Vocal Empowerment Coach, Sound Healer and Performer. I am
currently studying Music Therapy to be certified as a recognised Music
Therapist. Life has transformed quickly because I followed my true voice and my
deeper creative calling. Now, I strive to share this process with as many people
as possible; and unlocking the power of the voice is the first step to this
freedom. I am on a mission now to spread this work further, and to build
creative communities; this means working with more people, further a field. I
aim to connect wider networks to work intuitively with energy of the body,
engaging the Voice, Breath and Movement so that more of us can sit truly in our
most authentic Self-Expression. I am a firm believer in joyful practises paving
the way towards a more sustainable, meaningful and wholesome way of living - and
together we will create a more meaningful, fair and joyful world.
