Working with Mikala for my breathwork and cello experience was nothing short of extraordinary. She listened to every instruction with such care and presence, and you could genuinely feel her intention woven into each note she played.
Her music carried the room into deeper states of embodiment, emotion, and release. I received so much feedback from participants about how moving and immersive her music was and I completely agree. She played beautifully, intuitively, and with such soul.
I couldn’t have asked for a better musical partner. Her professionalism, warmth, and willingness to truly understand the vision made the entire experience seamless and deeply impactful. I’m so grateful for her artistry and cannot recommend her enough.
