Manolis Zografakis is a certified sound therapist accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), as well as a Vipassana meditation practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Pranic healer, and music producer. His journey into sound began early, with classical guitar lessons forming the foundation of a deep musical exploration. Over the years, his passion evolved through performing in bands, producing electronic music under the name MAMA, and releasing his solo album Blue in 2008. One of its standout tracks, Have a Nice Trip, received extensive radio airplay and was featured in the Village Roadshow film Alter Ego.

While working as a radio producer and DJing in various Athenian venues, Manolis found himself drawn to meditation as a path for personal growth. This inner work became a vital part of his life and gradually led him toward healing practices. In 2010, he earned an MA in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy from Goldsmiths, University of London, grounding his creative pursuits in academic understanding.

Two years later, he moved to Berlin, where he encountered the transformative power of Tibetan singing bowls and gongs during a sound bath facilitated by his therapist and mentor, Eléna Sofia Melnishca. This experience marked a turning point, sparking his deep dive into the field of sound therapy.

From 2016 to 2019, Manolis apprenticed under Eléna Sofia, co-facilitating group sound therapy sessions across Berlin and other German cities. Seeking to broaden his knowledge, he traveled throughout Southeast Asia, studying sound and energy healing across cultures. In Kathmandu, Nepal, he trained in traditional Tibetan bowl healing techniques under Master Shree Krishna Shahi. His studies continued at the Sound Healing Academy, the Peter Hess Institute, and the Chiang Mai Holistic Wellness Center, while his meditation practice deepened through 10-day Vipassana retreats in Nepal and Myanmar.

Since 2016, Manolis has been offering group sound baths and one-on-one sound therapy sessions in Germany, Greece, India, and Nepal. Now based in Chania, Crete, he offers treatments in Athens and throughout Greece. He also leads professional training seminars in sound therapy, teaching a comprehensive four-level course designed for wellness and mental health professionals.

Drawing from both Western scientific perspectives and Eastern wisdom traditions, Manolis weaves together a grounded, intuitive, and integrative approach to sound and energy work.

In addition to his private practice and seminars, he provides consulting and experiential sound healing services to luxury hotels and wellness centers. His collaborations include renowned names such as Daios Cove, W Costa Navarino, Domes Resorts, JW Marriott, and Aquila Hotels, where he delivers tailored sessions, staff training, and wellness activations that bring the healing power of sound to hospitality experiences.

Manolis is a TEDxAthens speaker and has also presented at the international flow!summit alongside thought leaders such as Gabor Maté, Deepak Chopra, and Bruce Lipton. He is passionate about sharing sound as a tool for self-inquiry, balance, and transformation. His work bridges art and healing, science and spirit, offering a space where sound becomes a path back to presence, harmony, and wholeness.
