WHO WE ARE
Justin Crawmer is a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, sound practitioner, reiki master, and has been a drummer and musician for over 30 years. He discovered his passion and distinct medicine with sound through his own healing journey that led him to the magic of tongue drums, handpans, and dozens of sound healing instruments.
As a passionate researcher, Justin has dove deep through years of study on the therapeutic and esoteric properties of sound from a variety of traditions and perspectives. This has helped him to gain a deeper understanding of how, and to what extent, sound has been used to affect human consciousness and vibrational healing.
Following his obsession with sound wave frequencies, harmonics and overtones, energy and vibrations, he has spent nearly a decade working extensively with medicine ceremonies from multiple lineages, leading sound meditations, facilitating reiki-infused private sound healing sessions, and weaving live music with a variety of musicians, yoga and breathwork teachers for groups ranging from intimate gatherings to 50 or more participants.
Why Maloca Sound?
The name Maloca Sound is inspired by the traditional communal longhouses known as malocas, sacred spaces used by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon—especially in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru—for ceremony, healing, and intentional gathering.
In these traditions, entering the maloca is an act of reverence. You take off your shoes. You soften your voice. You move with presence. Every breath, every sound, every gesture becomes intentional. That spirit of awareness and respect touched something deep within me—and it became a metaphor for how I now aim to live:
Life is a maloca. Life is a ceremony.
This work began with my own healing journey—after a period of deep personal loss and transformation, I was guided toward plant medicine, somatic therapies, and the study of sound. Over the last seven years, I’ve had the honor of working with teachers and traditions from the Shipibo, Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, and Native American lineages, and many others. While I am not of these cultures and do not claim to represent them, they’ve shaped me in powerful ways that I carry with humility and respect.
As a lifelong drummer and musician, I began to discover myself not just as a performer, but as a sound weaver—someone who channels frequency as a form of medicine. Through the sacred technologies of rhythm, tone, breath, and silence, I help others drop into presence and reconnect to the truth that healing already lives inside them.
Maloca Sound is a container for that work. It’s a space for remembrance, restoration, and resonance. A place where we bring sacredness to sound, and sound to the sacred.
A portion of proceeds from Maloca Sound offerings goes toward Indigenous-led organizations working to preserve ancestral lands, language, and cultural traditions.
This is my offering, rooted in gratitude, guided by reverence.
