In the hot Costa Rican weather, I spend many hours in my workshop, it's a love that goes right back to childhood. My grandfather was a carpenter, and as a young boy I spent many hours in his workshop, watching him work. That time has stayed important to me ever since. Today I make drums, marimbas, balafons, flutes, didgeridoos, and mango heart seed maracas, always trying to improve on the last one I made. It's not a production line. Some pieces, like a Marimba or a Balafon, can take two weeks to finish, while other weeks I might create four or five drums in a few days. When the rains come, I'll often spend my nights on the balcony shaping maracas. What I create depends on my mood, and on what I need for my own healing sound journeys, since playing the instruments I make in ceremony has always mattered to me. It is my art. Because of this, I always have instruments lying around, and I only ever play a few of them myself and every instrument I create and present here is for sale.

If you're moving through something after ceremony and need to talk it through, reach out, and we'll see what's needed together.

If ancestor work feels unfamiliar or confusing, I can help you understand what it means and how it moves through a life.

If something from ceremony feels unresolved, my initiation as a Sangoma may offer a way through it.
