Doreen Marcial Poreba

Doreen Poreba began her musical journey as a fourth grade student when she began learning to read music and playing the clarinet. She then started taking piano lessons. She continued playing clarinet in junior high and high school in concert and marching bands, and joined the high school choir. As a senior in college, she took a class in guitar and that’s when her love of songwriting began. She remained a closeted musician until 2008, too shy to perform publicly, until she was inspired to write a song about a friend's passing. She performed that song at his memorial service and shortly after, formed a duo with a friend. In 2010, they recorded their first CD. That duo progressed into the formation of a five-member band called Connected Souls, which continues today. The band recorded their first CD in 2017. In 2014, she completed a three-year program offered by the Creativity Coaching Association and became a Certified Creativity Coach. Then in 2018, she became the co-music director of Unity of Stuart in Florida. That same year, she began studying the principles of sound healing through various trainings. Today she holds multiple certificates and a diploma in Integral Sound Healing from the Sound Healing Academy. Her practice includes working with both individuals and groups. She is the author of two books, "Unlocking Your Creativity" and "Shine Your Light— Your Guide to Creative Inspiration, Inner Wisdom & Happiness."
