Paulette Pipe, using her distinctive soothing and mesmerizing voice to gently draw listeners to a bliss-spot of stillness within. Paulette also demonstrates mindfulness techniques, designed to create present-moment breathing space. You’ll hear episode-themed songs, be captivated by inspiring meditation music, and may even get chills from the energizing affirmative prayers so powerfully spoken they raise the roof!

I have been a participant with you, Rev Paulette for 10 years now. So glad you are back with insight, encouragement and “romance”!
