handpan - a special instrument that i want to tell you about

instrument from which began my way to sound healing 

Hang, also known as Handpan

How did I acquaint myself with this instrument?

I fell in love with that magical instrument from the very first sound. That happened a couple of years ago on one esoteric festival in Ukraine. I heard that instrument sound and asked to try it. The owner of the instrument gave me, showed how to make sounds and left. I was sitting in the shadow of the tree, making sounds. I have fully submerged into its vibrations and that magic sound took me into other reality. When the owner of the instrument came back, I was continuing sitting under the tree and playing my own music. I had a feeling like passed only 5 minutes time since he left, but it's appeared that he was away for 2 hours! Since that time I realized that I need that instrument and on the next birthday I made a present for myself.

Once the war began, the only thing I took was my lovely instrument and small suitcase. Here in Portugal I met my teacher, who initiated my development to Sound Healer. His name is Igor, he is also from Ukraine. We knew each other before, but never been close friends. Here in Portugal he opened his Handpan school and our love to handpans joined us.  Igor has found local producers of the Handpans and settled good relationships with them. So, if you're interested in acquiring or playing a handpan, you can contact him directly (contacts are in the section below under his photo).

As the original Hang was produced in limited quantities by PANArt, and acquiring one could be challenging, various other manufacturers and builders have created similar instruments inspired by its design, expanding the availability of handpans. There are now many handpan instruments available in different scales and tunings. Now there are different instrument makers all around the world, including Ukraine and Portugal. My Handpan was made by Ukrainian master. To hear the sound of that, you can click the video below:

Benefits of Sound Healing:

   🌀 Stress and anxiety reduction
Sound vibrations calm the nervous system, creating an immediate sense of peace and well-being.

   💤  Improved sleep quality
Deep relaxation induced by sound helps regulate sleep cycles, supporting more restful nights.

   🧠 Mental clarity and focus
 Sound clears the “noise” of the mind, enhancing mindfulness and expanding awareness.

   💓 Emotional balance
 Many people report relief from heavy emotions such as sadness or fear after sound healing sessions.

   🧬  Energetic alignment
 Frequencies resonate with the body’s energy centers (chakras), promoting flow, vitality, and spiritual reconnection.

Harmony for the body, clarity for the mind, and nourishment for the soul.

More than just a technique, Sound Healing is a transformative experience — a space for deep listening, where we don't just hear sound, but feel truly heard by it. It's an invitation to feel, to release, and simply to be.

If you're feeling the call for a life with more lightness, presence, and meaning, sound might just be your way home.

about us and our mission

We are Artur and Lúcia, a couple who met in Portugal — two souls from different continents brought together by the beautiful twists of life. Our journey has not been without challenges: one of us left a country devastated by war, and the other set out in search of a new beginning. Stepping out of our comfort zones opened doors to new opportunities, new perspectives, and a shared vision.

Both of us have spent many years exploring practices such as yoga, medicine singing, massage, meditation, fasting, and sound healing. These experiences continuously guide us on a path of awakening our divine essence and manifesting a greater purpose — to serve the world with what we believe in.

Our vision is to offer an uplifting alternative — a way for people to reconnect with themselves, to find balance, and to experience harmony through natural and healing sounds. We combined Sound Healing with Youga. Through the conscious movement of the body that yoga provides, we open space for the expansion of body, mind, and heart.

artur ivanov

Sound Healer, Beekeeper, Relationship coach and Writer, Fasting master

I'm a professional deep-sea captain with over 15 years of experience navigating the oceans and visiting more than 60 countries. After retiring from life at sea, I founded a unique retreat center near Odesa, Ukraine, where guests slept on beehives and reconnected with nature’s healing energy. I’m also the author of two books: "Amazing World of the Bees" and "Relationship Workbook for Couples"

I’m passionate about practices that expand the body’s natural abilities—cold water immersion, standing on nails, breathing techniques, and intermittent fasting. Since embracing fasting, I haven’t needed to visit doctors or hospitals—something I haven’t done since 2005. Now help other people to discover their potential to live healthy and happy lives through my Week of Health program. But my favorite way to share my vibes and energy is through Sound Therapy, which allows me to support others in reaching states of deep relaxation and inner balance.

Participants' feedback after sound healing session: 

Linda Cammarata

Yoga Therapist

"A master of sound healing has the ability to tune their mind, body, spirit, and melodic instruments to the energies of the group. Artur has an insightful awareness that allows his heart and his masterful sounds to connect to each and every person. He truly becomes the healing process. A week after the sound healing session, I continue to feel the release that I experienced in the session. I can easily relax my mind and travel back to the space, sensing the waves of sound washing over my body. Artur’s sensitivity is honorable, a humble soul with so much to offer his clients. You will always remember his sound healing experience. 🙏" 

Zhanna Galeyeva

Founder of Bird of Light

"I had the most beautiful sound healing experience with Arthur! His intuition led to a mesmerizing flow of sounds that touched the deepest parts of my heart and soul. Having been to healing experiences worldwide, I can say this was one of the best. It reminded me that the wisdom for healing lies within, all we need to do is surrender, trust, and receive. After the session, we enjoyed the most delicious herbal tea with organic honey, a delightful gift from Arthur. Grateful for his warmth and spirit. Thank you, dear friend! Aho! 🙏🍯🎁🙌🏻" 

Joana Leite de Castro

Yoga teacher, traveller

"After the session, I felt fantastic! I slept for 10 hours straight, what my body required. I went running on Sunday morning, which I hadn’t done for 6 months. The running was amazing and after it, I swam at the sea. So the session was very relaxing and at the same time super empowering" 

Joana Pessanha

Artist, journalist

"I really want to thank you!!!
It was so good! It was the 1st time since January that I didn't have crazy pain during my period…and it was the first time in last year I had a "more normal" time cycle. Actually, I had my period on the day after the session 🙂
I also wrote a lot on the day after. That was after a long time avoiding journaling."  

Kat Molin Mota

Artist, founder in GreenTagFilm

"It was a strong and potent session for me in many levels personally. I really loved your work with the instruments of both of you. That for me is the special, unique extra thing from it all. I appreciated the structure of the session with the different phases. I also wrote quite a lot of posts after session. Thank you and wishing you all the best of luck on spreading your shake and I love the use of such various sensations and playfulness in it too to come deeper. I am very grateful for having had this chance. Thank you ♡☆ rock on"   

"I just finished our tao massage with sound session. And it was very peaceful, very relaxing, so recharging for my body and for my mind. And I'm so grateful, so lucky to have had this moment with him. I feel very privileged, very honored to have received arthur's medicine. Thank you so much."

Laury, Shamanic Healer

"As someone who also practices Sound Healing and has a collection of gongs at home in Vancouver, I can confidently say this session was very special. The energy, the atmosphere, and the depth of healing were exceptional. I highly recommend experiencing this beautiful journey with Artur"

Nurse, Sound Healer

"I just finished sound healing with Tao massage and all my cells are still vibrating. That was amazing and really relaxing! All the sounds were so rich in different frequencies and I couldn't even realize where they came from. Really recommend it. Come and meet Artur"
