Composer and lyricist Peruquois is a remarkable worldwide icon and a profound healer of women who has been touring the globe since 1997, and her life has been filled with fascinating and transformative experiences of grief to healing and rebirth. Her father drowned in a fishing accident when she was three, and her motto became “Love and live now as the future may never come.” Another transformative experience occurred when she was 11, when both of her legs were cut above her kneecaps and then re-attached in a botched surgery designed to cure a genetic hip rotation. At 18, Peruquois honored her dreams to become a jazz vocalist and by 23 she was a bright star on the Australian jazz scene but felt somehow unfulfilled and through a profound transcendental experience, she found intuitive singing which spurred people to call her “the voice of Mother Earth.” She later spent 11 years as an apprentice and one of 7 wives to a Native American Medicine Man in the mountain deserts of New Mexico, where she received a vision that revealed that her healing voice and profound wisdom would one day inspire millions of people to fall back into love and return to harmony and balance. And years after that, she moved to New Zealand and committed to a new partner who was an awakened tantric master, and she became inspired to create a new set of practices for women to open to their sensual nature. And of course, there is more!

In 1998 she graduated from the Univ of N.C. at Chapel Hill with a degree in journalism and mass communications, then left for NYC to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
