Meet Stephanie Winter, Owner of Singing Waters Nature Retreat
Stephanie Winter’s path to wellness began in 2012 when she first discovered yoga. That practice quickly opened the door to a new passion: sound healing.
“Yoga gave me such a sense of peace, and when I was introduced to sound healing by my sister in Germany, I realized how powerful sound can be for the body and mind,” Stephanie recalls. Her first experience with a “sound tube”—an instrument large enough for the body to rest inside—sparked a lasting curiosity about healing frequencies and their impact on the nervous system.
In addition to yoga and sound work, Stephanie had always been drawn to massage. “Even as a child, I loved giving massages to my siblings,” she says with a smile. What began as a playful pastime eventually led to her becoming a licensed massage therapist, specializing in modalities that support relaxation, emotional release, and energetic balance.
To deepen her knowledge, Stephanie completed a yearlong program with the Sound Healing Academy based in England. Over the last two years, she has focused on vocal toning and the healing power of the human voice, including advanced study with Sing the Body Electric and Healing Sounds Correspondence Course. This work is rooted in creating a safe, embodied, and empowering space for clients to move old patterns, release tension, and restore balance.
Today, Stephanie hosts vocal toning workshops and classes, offers individual vocal toning lessons, and shares her sound healing at Singing Waters Nature Retreat and various other location within Georgia and Florida. Guests experience the gentle resonance of her monochord sound table—imported from Germany—alongside crystal bowls, tuning forks, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and the nurturing practice of voice.
“My mission is to create a safe space where people can feel seen, supported, and empowered,” Stephanie says. “Every session is about honoring your body and your pace, allowing you to relax, reconnect, and restore.”
