About Harmony Michaela

MY STORY

My name is Michaela Forrest, and through Harmony Michaela I offer wellbeing programmes and sound meditation sessions combining gongs and somatic practices, with a focus on relieving stress and restoring energy.

My own journey of personal development deepened significantly after my father passed away in 2009. This period brought a profound inner transformation, including periods of depression, and led me to reflect more deeply on the meaning of life. When my brother passed away in 2016, I reached another important turning point in my life and my priorities changed. This led me to explore new approaches to personal development and alternative wellbeing practices.

I first experienced the transformative effects of sound in 2017, when I began working with a shamanic drum and my own voice as part of shamanic training. I later experienced a sound bath for the first time and immediately knew it would not be my last. After several more experiences, I began to feel how fulfilling it could be to create and share similar experiences with others.

It took another two years before I began exploring this path more deeply. I started playing other traditional and contemporary harmonic instruments, including the didgeridoo and crystal singing bowls. I then completed several sound-based training courses, where I learned to work with a wider range of instruments to support physical and emotional wellbeing.

From 2021, I began assisting with sound and gong baths, which allowed me to deepen my experience and understanding of the positive effects of sound. In 2022, I started facilitating my own group sound meditation sessions, and in 2024 I completed professional Group Sound Healing training with the Sound Healing Academy.

Through my own positive experiences with body-based and breathing practices, and the way they can deepen the experience of sound, I began developing my group sessions further by incorporating somatic practices.

In 2026, after many years of living in the UK, I returned to the Czech Republic and created a range of wellbeing programmes under the Harmony Michaela brand.

In my sessions, I combine body-based practices, conscious breathing, sound and mindful awareness to support deep relaxation, restoration and a greater sense of balance.

My aim is to create a safe, respectful and supportive space for people who feel physically and emotionally exhausted and would like to reconnect with their inner calm and vitality.

I seek to create a space where participants can develop a deeper connection with themselves and a greater sense of inner harmony. This can help them rest more deeply, feel calmer, improve their focus and experience greater mental clarity.

You too can give yourself permission to switch off from the outside world for a while, slow down, and give your body and mind the space to truly rest. :)

I look forward to meeting you soon! :D
