Meet Napualani Hall

We recently connected with Napualani Hall and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Napualani , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

Purpose isn’t something you chase – its something you embody. I didn’t find my purpose in one dramatic moment… it unfolded through a series of initiations, breakdowns, and quiet inner callings that I couldn’t ignore anymore.

I grew up as a competitive gymnast, raised by a teen single mom, and the gym became my structure, my escape, and my identity. By the time I was recruited to UCLA, my back was already broken — literally — but I was conditioned to push through pain, perform under pressure, and keep going no matter what my body was telling me. Pain was familiar. Rest wasn’t.

Right before UCLA, my body finally said “no.”
I had no choice but to stop.

That year off from training was the first time in my life where I wasn’t performing, achieving, or proving anything. It forced me to sit with myself — and that changed everything. That’s when I discovered meditation, visualization, and the mind–body connection. I learned how to listen inward, regulate my nervous system, and visualize myself back into alignment.

That inner work didn’t just heal my back – it carried me through my UCLA career. I finished as an All-American and National Champion with the same back injury I started with, but with a completely different relationship to myself. My mind, my energy, and my inner world became my biggest strengths.

Years later, during the pandemic, that same inner pull returned. I was navigating anxiety, uncertainty, and a lot of unanswered questions about who I was becoming. That’s when sound healing found me. The way meditation changed my inner world, sound transformed my nervous system. It anchored me. It calmed me. It reconnected me to myself in a way I hadn’t felt in years.

I started sharing sound with people in my life — one by one — and I watched their energy shift the same way mine did. I watched them soften, breathe deeper, and remember themselves. That’s when I knew:
the thing that saved me was meant to be shared.

That’s how Soulstice was born.
Not from strategy, but from calling.

My purpose is to help people slow down, reconnect with their inner world, and remember who they are underneath the noise – because that’s what changed my life.

Today, that purpose has expanded into sound bath experiences, my Soulstice Sound Bowls, and teaching others how to use sound as a tool for healing. And now, stepping into this next chapter, I’m guiding others through the same transformation that shaped me. I created my Higher Purpose Masterclass, Called For More, using my TUNE Method – Tune In, Unblock, Nourish, Embody – the exact framework that helped me shift from survival mode into alignment.

Because purpose isn’t something you chase.
It’s something you tune into.
It’s something that reveals itself when you’re finally quiet enough to listen.

I found my purpose by healing – by reconnecting to myself, by honoring my story, and by following the path that opened my heart again.

And now it’s my purpose to help others heal and find theirs.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’m the CEO & founder of Soulstice, a holistic wellness brand dedicated to helping people slow down, heal, and reconnect with who they truly are. I guide sound bath experiences for communities, high performers, corporate teams, and athletes, and I also create education, tools, and spaces that support people in regulating their nervous systems, healing old patterns, and stepping into deeper alignment.

What I do is rooted in my own healing. Sound healing became the tool that brought me back to myself, and now it’s the foundation of everything I offer — from my in-person sound bath experiences to my signature Soulstice Sound Bowls that help people build a regulating practice at home.

What feels most special about my work is that it’s not just about “relaxation.” It’s about helping people remember themselves. My sessions blend presence, frequency, intention, and storytelling to create an experience where people feel safe, grounded, and deeply held — sometimes for the first time in a long time. It’s the most beautiful feeling to watch someone soften, breathe deeper, and reconnect with their inner world.

I offer a range of experiences, from corporate wellness sessions for companies like Amazon, Lyft, and Equinox to athletic-focused sound baths for teams who want to recover, reset, and mentally prepare. I also host community events, retreats, and private sessions — and over time, Soulstice has grown into a brand that supports people both in-person and digitally.

I’m also expanding into education and mentorship. I recently created my Higher Purpose Masterclass, “Called For More,” where I teach my TUNE Method — Tune In, Unblock, Nourish, Embody — the same framework that guided my own transformation. It’s designed for anyone feeling stuck, disconnected, or in transition who’s ready to align with a deeper sense of purpose. Later this year, I’ll be launching my Intro to Sound Healing Workshop and eventually my full Sound Healer Certification Program for those who feel called to share this work professionally.

And on the product side, Soulstice Sound Bowls continues to grow – I’m expanding my custom bowl offerings and exploring future collaborations with aligned wellness brands.

Overall, Soulstice has become a home for intentional, heart-led healing – a space for people to regulate, remember, and rise. Everything I create — whether it’s an event, a course, or a sound bowl – is meant to help people feel safe in their body, clear in their mind, and connected to something bigger than themselves.

I’m excited for this next chapter and all the ways Soulstice will continue to expand – locally, digitally, and globally.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, there are three qualities that have shaped my journey more than anything else: self-awareness, resilience, and embodiment.

1. Self-Awareness

Self-awareness was the very beginning of everything for me — the moment I learned how to listen inward instead of push through everything. It’s what helped me understand my patterns, my nervous system, my needs, and eventually my purpose.
For anyone early in their journey, my advice is to create space to hear yourself. Slow mornings, journaling, meditation, sound healing — anything that helps you listen before you act. Clarity doesn’t come from forcing; it comes from tuning in.

2. Resilience

My entire life has taught me how to keep going — from being raised by a teen single mom, to being an athlete with a chronic injury, to pivoting careers, starting a business, and rebuilding myself multiple times.
But what I’ve learned is that resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about learning how to regulate your nervous system so you can move through challenges without losing yourself.
My advice: build practices that bring you back into your body — breathwork, sound, grounding, movement. True resilience comes from being able to reset, not from being unshakeable.

3. Embodiment

This is the quality that changed my entire life. Embodiment is when your actions finally align with your intention — when you don’t just “know” your purpose mentally but actually live it.
It’s what guided me from surviving to leading, from healing myself to helping others heal.

If you’re at the beginning of your journey, focus on who you’re becoming, not just what you’re doing. Ask:
How would the version of me I’m becoming show up today? Speak today? Take care of myself today?
Small decisions repeated consistently are what shift your identity — and once you shift your identity, everything else follows.

Purpose, healing, and aligned success all come from cultivating these three qualities.
Tune in. Stay regulated. Embody who you came here to be.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

Absolutely. Collaboration is a big part of my mission with Soulstice. I truly believe healing is amplified in community, and I love partnering with people and brands who are intentional, heart-led, and aligned with creating meaningful impact.

I’m especially excited to collaborate with:

• Wellness brands and studios
who value nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and holistic well-being.
(Think retreats, pop-ups, sound bath activations, or co-created rituals.)

• Corporate teams and companies
who want to support their employees with accessible, grounding wellness experiences — especially in high-stress or creative industries.

• Athletic programs and performance-based organizations
who want to help their athletes reset, recover, and strengthen their mental and emotional resilience.

• Creators, healers, and facilitators
who are building conscious communities and want to create co-led events, workshops, or digital offerings rooted in intention and embodiment.

• Aligned product brands
who are interested in thoughtful collaborations with my Soulstice Sound Bowls or co-branded wellness tools.

For anyone reading this who feels aligned or curious, I’d love to connect.
You can reach me through my website soulsticecollective.com, Instagram @puasworld, or by email at [email protected].

I’m always open to collaborations that feel purposeful, aligned, and in service to collective healing.
