Home / About Us

Our calling at solu is to expand Peace and Healing, everywhere, through sound.

We recognize sound and vibration as vital to all of life. We conceived original structures to bring the healing power of sound directly to you. Our goal is to help relieve your brain and attune your body and being to a more harmonious state, ultimately assisting you to open the doorway into all that you are. 

 All you have to do is listen.

Since our company, and mission, was born, solu has not stopped proving itself as a singular answer to stress—and a doorway to self-growth—that has moved far beyond even our own.

 solu leads from Truth. 

The intention of our very small but driven team is to remain heart first in connect. Then, we trust what comes. We have discovered that this allows for undeniable truth in every interaction, solution found, and decision that we make.

Embedding love and trust from the ground up has given us the insight to learn as we go, with unquestioned integrity, and fosters a connection to the bigger picture as we navigate forward.
