Healing with the Sound of Love
Mai Nguyen (Mai Khandro)
Mai Nguyen, founder of Tara Harmony, has always been a lover of the natural world, and deeply invested in the health of others. At a young age, inspired by the way her mother looking after the sick family members she dreamt of becoming a doctor. Although persuing her career in engineering and education, her passion in looking for natural medicines or non-drug treatments to use for her loved ones has never stopped and eventually became an integral part of her life.
Mai was introduced to yoga during an illness. She found yoga helping her so much in self-healing that she decided to sign in a course for yoga instructors. However, it wasn't until one fateful Himalayan singing bowl session though that everything changed for Mai; in that moment, she felt an immediate connection between body, mind, spirit and the sound – something that she had been searching for over the years. From then on, Mai decided to rely on sound healing as opposed to medical treatments – embracing the singing bowls’ ability to connect her and others back to nature.
Mai has since become a qualified practitioner of sound healing and yoga, helping people find the same peace that she discovered in that very first session. She also decided to create Tara Harmony – a healing studio as a way of reminding herself and others of their own journeys towards self-awareness and wellness. Her intention is for Tara Harmony to be a place full of caring, nurturing, healing and uplifting energy; offering support to all those who seek harmony in life.
Mai owes much of her success over the years to her mentors and family members who have been encouraging her on her ever-evolving journey - from aspiration to be a doctor to a dedicated sound healer. Through hard work, dedication and her unique blend of creativity, Mai has managed to find a way to connect on a deep, meaningful level with those around her.
Above all else though, Mai is ever-grateful for the opportunity to make a positive difference in people's lives, through sound and yoga. She inspires people around her with the belief that each person has the healing ability within to gain inner peace and wellness. It is this belief that keeps her motivated and inspired every day.

WHY THE NAME?
The name Tara Harmony is an homage to the Tara, a Tibetan Buddhist deity and symbol of feminine power and compassion. She embodies the unconditional love and protection of a mother. Tara is the first name to come up when Mai wanted to bring Himalayan Singing Bowls to Canada. The name Tara Harmony is Mai's intention to remind her of her mission bringing the benefits from Himalayan singing bowls and yoga to people; creating a sacred space where people can find healing and harmony within themselves through sound.
