I am launching a new chapter of SoundWellness® that expands healing beyond the walls of a studio and into the living, breathing waters of the Bay. I am raising $30,000 to purchase and outfit a boat that will serve as a floating sound wellness studio, a mobile office, and a holistic tour vessel offering sound healing experiences departing from San Francisco and Oakland.
This boat is more than a vessel. It is a bridge that connects my Bay Area community to the land-based retreat space I am building in Berry Creek and creates a sustainable pathway for my business to grow beyond the nonprofit and grant funding that has significantly decreased over the past year.
For three years in Washington, DC, I worked on two educational vessels as a maritime educator, first mate, and education manager. I know how to run safe, meaningful, and culturally grounded programming on the water. I have seen how being held by the water softens people, opens them, and prepares them for deep healing. Bringing sound wellness to the Bay is a natural evolution of my work. The boat will allow me to:
Offer sound healing tours, sunset sessions, and restorative wellness experiences on the water
Host small group healing journeys, private sessions, and community-centered offerings
Create holistic cultural tours that weave together sound, ecology, history, and ancestral connection
Build a sustainable revenue stream that supports my land-based retreat center and educational programs
Work from a dedicated mobile space that reflects the expansiveness of my practice
Train toward my captain’s license with the support of a hired captain
This project creates a new, sustainable model for community-rooted wellness that is not dependent on unstable nonprofit contracts or shrinking grant pools. It allows me to continue offering accessible healing experiences, expand my reach, and build a thriving ecosystem that includes:
Water-based sound healing
Haptic healing and multisensory wellness
Retreats and land stewardship in Berry Creek
Education, training, and community programming
Over the past year, I have also been navigating significant health challenges after being diagnosed with advanced scoliosis that includes multiple spinal curves and severe pelvic misalignment. This condition has limited my physical capacity and required ongoing chiropractic and therapeutic care that is not covered by insurance. The cost of treatment, combined with the reduced ability to work during flare-ups, has used up all of my financial reserves. I have continued to show up for my community and my work, but the truth is that my body is asking for a different kind of support. This boat project is part of my healing plan. It allows me to continue offering my services in a way that is sustainable for my body, while creating a stable foundation for my long-term wellness and the future of my practice.
I'm also offering boat tours to folx who donate $1,000 or more or help me raise $1000 or more. Have them list your name in the note. You can bring up to 3 others and you're welcome to get your money if you want to use it for business by doing private boat concert, massage, chef experience, etc. https://donate.mazloweb.com/donate/holistic-boat-tours

I developed my Haptic Sound Healing practice to make sound healing more accessible for me to administrate and for others to receive. I use haptic equipment developed by Woojer because the design made it accessible to the maximum amount of bodies types. I produce my own sound healing track using my instruments as well as tones and beats tuned using specific tones and frequencies for healing and wellness. The haptic equipment allows us to feel the sound in a way that's similar to playing bowls or weighted tuning forks on the body. It has been an absolute hit in at our community events and I'm delighted to share that I've entered a partnership with Woojer! You can get an additional 10% off with the code: NEKIAWRIGHT
Be sure to schedule a free consultation with me after you receive your gear. I'll give you a rundown on the equipment and get you set up on the SoundWellness App so you can access our healing tracks.
As some of you may know, we purchased 33 acres of property in the small village of Berry Creek/Brush Creek in the Plumas National Forest, northeast of Lake Oroville in Butte County. This is off of the historic Beckwourth Pass which was trailblazed in the mid 1800s by Black mountain man and pioneer James Beckwourth. I am building a wellness center and will be hosting boutique camping experiences, aka glamping this year while I build the cabins and pools...we have a natural mineral spring.
Please schedule a free consultation to learn about our offerings on this sacred land.

It's been like this since at least adolescence. I went to the doctor when I was 19 and they tested a lump on my side for cancer. It wasn't cancer. I asked that they keep testing to find out what it was. They told me it was fat. I asked why it was only on on side. Doctor shrugged and sent me home....
