Wakes

Wakes is Ada Ketchie and Nathan Getzin, partners in life and in work, who describe themselves as musicians, storytellers, yoga teachers, healers and coaches. They use music, embodiment and mindfulness to guide people through hardship and toward healing.

Their path began in early 2016, when they launched a social business, Northern Flicker, left conventional work, and travelled the world helping tell the stories of change makers, from Costa Rica to Sweden, Japan to South Africa. They sang in every country they visited. Singing is also how they met. Over time they admitted that what they most wanted was to make music and create experiences that help people heal and wake up to their inner worlds. They already knew the power of storytelling through their folk music.

In their music they use their voices in harmony, mantra, and healing instruments from around the world. They offer sound baths, guided meditations, teachings and recorded music, including a debut sound healing album. They also lead retreats built on three pillars: music, mindfulness and movement. Movement comes from their yoga training. Alongside this, they offer soul-centered coaching on matters of the heart, healing, purpose, communication and relationships.
