When Stress Becomes the Norm, Well-Being Becomes Essential
When stress, overwhelm, and disconnection become part of everyday life, well-being is no longer a luxury, it becomes a necessity.
That’s why we create immersive experiences that invite people to pause, reconnect, and rediscover the balance that already exists within.
Our Story
Intentional Sounds was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2012 by Gianni Bardaro (Italy) and Paola Suárez Durán (Colombia) while both were living there for more than a decade.
The long Nordic winters, the profound silence, and a shared search for meaning inspired a journey of meditation, spirituality, and self-discovery. Along that path, they experienced the transformative power of sound and its remarkable ability to reach what words often cannot—the emotions, memory, and the deeper dimensions of human consciousness.
From that experience, Intentional Sounds was born: a shared vision that brings together science, ancient wisdom, and conscious awareness through a distinctive approach to sound therapy and holistic well-being.
Since then, they have shared their work internationally, guiding individuals and communities through experiences that encourage healing, inner balance, and expanded awareness through therapeutic sound and intentional vibration.
"Sound is the fundamental resonance that brings order to life, regulates the body and mind, and creates spaces where consciousness and healing naturally meet." — Gianni Bardaro
What We Do
We design immersive well-being experiences that help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, inspire creativity, and strengthen the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Through sound therapy, conscious breathing, guided visualisation, and mindful practices, we support access to deeper states of relaxation, clarity, emotional balance, and expanded awareness.
Our work integrates:
- Neuroscience of Sound
- Ancient Vibrational Healing Practices
- Psychoacoustics & Neurosensory Stimulation
- Conscious Breathing, Mindful Movement & Intuitive Art
"We don't create wellness experiences simply to help people relax. We create them to awaken inner wisdom, restore balance, and support meaningful transformation." — Paola Suárez Durán

Today...
Intentional Sounds has grown into an international wellness movement dedicated to exploring the transformative power of therapeutic sound.
For more than a decade, our work has been welcomed by hospitals, businesses, universities, festivals, and retreat centres around the world.
Every experience is guided by deep listening, intentional presence, and the belief that lasting transformation begins from within.
The results are tangible felt in the body, experienced emotionally, and carried into daily life.
Today, Intentional Sounds continues to create spaces where sound restores balance, inspires connection, and helps people rediscover the wisdom that already lives within them.
