Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Kizlinski
Hi Nicole, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey with sound began in the mountains of Colorado, where I was drawn to small Tibetan shops, each one holding a sense of mystery and resonance. I bought my first singing bowl without fully understanding why—it simply felt like a calling. Then, life shifted dramatically. Chaos led me to uproot everything and travel across the country to Florida, arriving with no friends, no family—just my cats and a deep need to start over.
One day, as I sat on the beach, asking the universe for guidance, the name Sunshine Sound Waves came to me like a whisper on the wind. Inspired, I invested in a set of bowls and began sharing sound sessions on the beach. At first, it was just me, playing freely as the waves rolled in, but curiosity grew. People stopped to listen, to feel, to experience. That summer, I offered free sound sessions one to three times a week, and by the end of the season, I had a devoted following.
Encouraged by the connections forming around me, I officially launched Sunshine Sound Waves LLC, created social media pages, and began spreading the word. Over time, I expanded, collaborating with other sound practitioners, an acupuncturist to offer Acu-Sound, massage therapists, and yoga instructors. What started as a solo journey has blossomed into a thriving community—a beautiful mix of familiar faces who have been there since day one and new souls drawn to the experience.
Now, I’m deepening my practice by studying massage therapy, allowing me to create an even more immersive and holistic experience. What began as a single singing bowl in Colorado has transformed into something far greater than I could have imagined, and I’m excited to see where this path continues to lead.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Like any journey, there have been challenges along the way. One of the biggest hurdles was finding balance in the exchange of energy—starting out by offering free sessions created a beautiful sense of community, but it also set certain expectations. When I transitioned to monetizing my work, I had to navigate those shifts with care, ensuring that people understood the value of what I was offering.
That said, the road has felt more like a blossoming flower than a struggle. Every obstacle has been an opportunity to learn and grow, and nothing has ever felt impossible to overcome. The support from my community and the deep connection I feel to this path continue to guide me forward with ease and gratitude.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My work is all about connection—connection to sound, to self, to nature, and to the collective energy that we all share. I offer immersive sound experiences, where vibrations ripple through the body like waves, bringing deep relaxation, clarity, and renewal. My sessions, especially on the beach under the full moon, are designed to guide people into a space where they can simply be—letting go, tuning in, and aligning with the rhythm of the universe.
Sound, to me, is sacred. It’s one of the oldest forms of healing and transformation, shifting stagnant energy, calming the nervous system, and creating harmony within. Through instruments like singing bowls, chimes, and my own intuition, I facilitate experiences that help people reconnect with themselves on a soul level. The beauty of sound is that it speaks to something beyond words—it meets each person exactly where they are and gives them what they need in that moment.
For the most part, I am self-taught, diving deep into books, experimenting, and allowing my intuition to lead the way. I did take an amazing sound training to expand my knowledge, but much of what I share comes from my own exploration—feeling the frequencies, learning through experience, and trusting the wisdom of sound itself.
What I’m most proud of is that I started with nothing, never expecting this to turn into anything more than a personal practice. Now, I have over 50 people gathering with me on the beach for full moon experiences, where we share in something truly magical—sound, energy, community, and the power of the natural world.
What sets me apart? I think it’s the way I weave it all together—the ocean breeze, the pulse of the earth, the cosmic energy above. It’s not just a sound bath; it’s an experience, a journey, a space where people can breathe, feel, and remember their own light.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
First and foremost, my life partner, Jesse Wells, has been my rock. His unwavering support has meant everything—he’s encouraged me every step of the way, attended almost every single sound session, and carried my instruments across the sand more times than I can count. He always makes sure I’m in a good place to hold space for others, and his belief in me has been a steady light on this path.
I also have to give immense gratitude to Nikki Deville, the woman who first introduced me to sound when I was in one of the darkest places of my life. At the time, I had no idea that sound would become my calling, but she shared her light with me, and in doing so, she changed my world.
And, of course, to the beautiful souls who have been with me since day one—my day-one clients, my beach tribe, the ones who kept showing up, who shared their energy, who reminded me that what I was offering mattered. Seeing those familiar faces, knowing we’ve grown together, and witnessing this community flourish has been the most rewarding part of it all.
