When Stress, Overwhelm, and Disconnection Become Part of Everyday Life, Well-Being Stops Being a Luxury and Becomes a Necessity
That is why we create experiences that allow people to pause, reconnect, and remember the balance that already exists within.
Our Story
Intentional Sounds was founded in 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Gianni Bardaro (Italy) and Paola Suárez Durán (Colombia), during the period in which both lived in Denmark for more than a decade.
The long Nordic winters, silent darkness, and a profound existential inquiry led them on a journey of introspection where meditation, spirituality, and the search for life’s deeper meaning became both guidance and refuge. Along this path, they discovered the transformative power of sound and its ability to touch the unseen—the emotions, memory, and soul.
This is how Intentional Sounds was born: a shared vision that integrates science, spirituality, and consciousness, evolving into a unique methodology within the fields of sound therapy and holistic well-being.
Since then, they have shared their work across diverse international settings, promoting a profound approach to healing, reconnection, and the expansion of consciousness through vibration and intentional sound.
"Sound is the fundamental resonance that organizes life, regulates our body and mind, and opens spaces where consciousness and healing meet." — Gianni Bardaro
What We Do
We design wellness experiences that help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, enhance creativity, and strengthen the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Through sound therapy, conscious breathing, and guided visualization, we facilitate access to expanded states of awareness, clarity, and deep calm.
- Sound neuroscience
