About

Singer-Songwriter-Musician Kataka Gara has sang and played music most of her life and plays over 50 instruments. When Kataka became a Reiki Master Healer, she discovered that she could “funnel” positive energy through her music, while playing various musical instruments. This creates an exquisite and inspirational sound healing and musical experience, which drops audiences deeply into their hearts when they listen to her music.
A native from the San Francisco Bay Area, she founded the award-winning Ecstasy Lounge Women's Safe Sex Club in San Francisco in the early 1990's. She is currently creating a documentary about the historical impact this one-of-a-kind club has had on the empowerment of women and sexuality.
More recently, Kataka founded We Heal University, a Reiki Mastery School, thus creating the healing concepts of the Integrative Reiki Mastery Method, and authoring three books about innovative healing and manifesting concepts that the school currently uses for its curriculum. Reiki Certification courses at We Heal University are attended by students worldwide.
Kataka has a rich, strong Mezzo Soprano 3 octave vocal range, with the ability to sing lead, as well as blend harmonies with other singers.
