Joseph B. Carringer is a professional didgeridoo musician and sound therapist with over 25 years of didgeridoo playing experience. He is a Syracuse University graduate and University Scholar nominee whose degree programs include a Bachelor of Arts (BA) double major in Creative Leadership/Liberal Studies and minors in Anthropology, Philosophy, and Professional Project Management, as well as a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Professional Project Management. Joseph’s work as a didgeridoo musician and sound therapist has taken him everywhere, from the jungles of Peru to the beaches of Jamaica, Montana's big sky country, the white sands of New Mexico, and so many other beautiful places he has been blessed to visit and perform. In his sound therapy practice, he uses concert class didgeridoos combining Traditional Chinese Medicine organ and meridian theory with Ayurvedic Chakra philosophies to create a unique and powerful therapeutic sound healing experience.
Joseph presents and performs both nationally and internationally on mind/body connection and the effects of didgeridoo sound therapy for the purposes of clearing energetic and emotional stagnation within the energetic body to wellness and healthy lifestyle seekers, as well as to medical and holistic professionals. Additionally, he has presented his sound therapy work at numerous major hospitals as an integrative wellness modality, including; Maine Medical Center (Portland, ME), Wentworth Douglas Hospital (Dover, NH), and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center / UPMC (Pittsburgh, PA). Joseph has also offered educational programs and lectures at academic institutions, including; Syracuse University, Rivier University, University of New Hampshire, University of New England, various public/private grade schools, and the New Hampshire Library Association.
At the beginning of Joseph's sound therapy career, he collaborated with various holistic health professionals from multiple modalities, including; acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, integrative gynecologists, and holistic nurses, receiving what amounted to a well-rounded, holistic health apprenticeship and education. Joseph's goal is to help people realign their bodies' natural rhythms on a cellular level through didgeridoo sound therapy. Through this work, he believes that people can achieve a greater sense of natural health and open doors for a higher sense of creativity and consciousness. He feels a deep natural connection with the healing of our planet and ourselves.
