    What if sound could become a doorway—not just to relaxation, but to full-body restoration, emotional balance, and deep spiritual coherence?

    On this week’s episode of Voice Rising, Kara Johnstad welcomes music therapist, composer, and sound practitioner Andrea Cortez, founder of the Mind Body Music Center in Austin, Texas. With a deep background in clinical therapy and a lifelong passion for music, Andrea has developed a unique sound healing approach that integrates harp, voice, and frequency medicine to support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and spiritual integration.

    Together, they explore:

    ● How sound affects the brain and body at a physiological level

    ● Why the harp is such a powerful healing instrument

    ● The relationship between voice, vibration, and emotion

    ● What it means to create music as medicine

    ● How ancient sound practices are returning in modern form

    Whether you’re a healer, an artist, or a seeker of inner coherence, this is a conversation that will open your ears to the sacred intelligence of sound.

    Tune in and discover the architecture of healing that lives inside every note.
