MEET

I, Tina Knight, was born in Tyler, Texas & have always used my love for music as an outlet.  In Junior High School, I played the brass flute, clarinet, alto clarinet & quire / voice.  During the chaos of life & raising two kiddos, my music practice was put to the side.  My husband & I made sure that my son & daughter got to play music & we bought them the the bass guitars they wanted.  Life was GREAT (lots of family concert trips).

On Jan. 2, 2016, at 26 yrs of age, my one & only son took his own life, the very life I gave him.  He was an Army soldier and suffered from / didn't survive PTSD.  A few years before this, my lil sister took her own life as well!  I was pretty positive that I was going to grieve myself to death.  After some time, I absolutely HAD IT with grief!!!  One day, as I was searching for healing tools, I went to my first Gong Meditation event.
​
At a time when I thought I’d NEVER be happy again, the sound & vibrations of the gong snatched my attention & literally calmed me, giving me the peace I needed long enough for me to just BE & breathe. I knew from that very moment, that I absolutely had to learn how to play the gongs & pick back up on my love of playing music so that I could not only continue to heal, but also play (Sound Therapy) for others so we could all heal & de-stress when going through tough times.
 
I cannot believe I’m still here & it’s mainly because of Gong Meditation & Holographic Sound Healing Meditation.  They saved my life.  It is my story of survival, overcoming & never ever giving up.
 
Now, I travel & host healing Retreats with my Sound setups & various healing Certifications.  I play a wide range of healing instruments such as Gongs, Crystal Singing Bowls, Native American Flute, Didgeridoo, drums, rattles & much more.  I have Certifications & Trainings such as Holographic Sound Healing, Tai Chi, Yoga, SUP Yoga, Spiritual Meditation / Prayer, Weddings, Private Events, Private Sessions & much more. Over the past few years I have learned & studied under several Gong Masters & Award Winning Music Artists.
 
This work is my deepest passion & every single sound I make is with great intention!
 
Nothing makes me happier than to look out while I’m performing & see people truly relaxing, snoring, crying, laughing, smiling.... HEALING!!!!
 
I know what it felt like to want to die from grief... and now I am here to help by offering others the sound tools that helped & saved me.  Nothing is more important to me than making sure I help lower the stress levels & suicide numbers in this world & I’m told that it is working!!  We have to teach our kids to just “breath & BE” at a young age NOW, before it’s too late.  
 
I love my life & am absolutely blessed beyond words that I get to help others in this way with the healing certifications that saved my life.  I’m looking forward to sharing with everyone for the rest of yours too!
 
Gong On!!
 
UPDATE…  Little did I know when writing my story for this website (I was sitting here with breast cancer, in year 2020) & I just BEAT THAT TOO!  Never EVER give up!
