Change Your Rhythm, Change Your Life

How does it work? Science has already shown that we are energetic beings vibrating to rhythms on both a cellular and sub-atomic level. Toby employs a unique combination of ancient drumming and “Sound Attunement Therapy” (hot link to “Sound Attunement Therapy), which helps reconfigure your bio-energetic structure promoting healing and restoring energy.

Recent studies acknowledge that therapeutic drumming is effective in dealing with a wide range of mental, physical and emotional issues including: pain and stress relief, immune system function, AIDS, high blood pressure, adrenal failure, cancer, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. But you only need to talk to Toby’s clients to be convinced of the healing power of drumming. Time and time again, people report feeling magically transformed with unbelievable energy after an experience with Toby.

Birth of the Healing Drummer

Toby is a study in contrasts, part rock-drummer, part ancient healer and a bundle of joyous kinetic energy – he has taken a long and amazing journey to find his passion and mission in life. A childhood drumming prodigy, he grew up playing in professional bands and he still brings that boyish energy to his current work. Always religious, he went to Divinity School and became a pastor/evangelist traveling the US and Canada preaching the “Good News.” After becoming disillusioned with the big business of religion, Toby changed his life dramatically. He plunged into business and found success as a Senior Executive for a major corporation and then as an entrepreneur with a successful line of coffee stores.

Throughout all of this, Toby continued to search for a greater meaning in his life. At a retreat he was introduced to the African teacher and drummer, Malidoma Somé. The connection was instantaneous and they drummed together late into the night. Toby immediately knew this was the path he had been searching for. He began intensive study in both Healing Drumming and Shamanism. He traveled to Africa to study with Malidoma and Ritual Master, Sobonfu Somé. He also studied with Native American Traditions and at the foundation for Shamanic Studies. After years of study under these experts and with their blessings, he went out on his own. He has continued to refine his healing method as well as immerse himself in healing traditions that keep his skills finely tuned.

Toby has authored books and articles on the healing powers of sound. He has recorded many CD’s and his performances are energetic, interactive experiences of music, drumming and dancing. He travels extensively throughout the United States and internationally to conduct individual and group healing sessions, drumming circles, classes and workshops.

Sound Attunement Therapy

As a leader in the ever-growing field of healing music, Toby has created a unique form of healing called Sound Attunement Therapy – which employs sound energy from his drums and the focused intention of his client to create an energetic shift or transformation. In this client-focused energetic transformation Toby asks that, “Effortlessly and delightfully the things that no longer serve you fall away, and the things you desire to attract find you more easily.” This innovative combination of the ancient practices and modern science provides the kind of healing change that many have searched for. Let Toby focus the energy of the drum to bring energetic transformation to your life.
