Hey there! 👋🏻 I'm Venus.
I'm a music therapist (RMT, NMT) based in Sydney, Australia.
I share my journey as an accountant-turned music therapist who struggled in her quarter-life crisis and eventually found the north star 🌟 in life.

You will find music, mindset and well-being content on this channel. I also love making handpan covers. I sometimes vlog about my life and personal development journey too. I hope my music and my stories inspire you to go after the life you want :)
