Manolis Zografakis is a certified sound therapist and a member of the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA) and the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM). He is also a Vipassana meditation practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, and trained practitioner in Pranic Healing and Theta Healing.

His work integrates sound-based practices with principles of nervous system regulation and subtle energy awareness, combining a structured, grounded approach with intuitive and experiential elements.

His journey into sound began with classical guitar studies, forming the foundation for a lifelong exploration of music. Over the years, he performed in bands, produced electronic music under the name MAMA, and released his solo album Blue in 2008. Its track Have a Nice Trip received radio airplay and was featured in the Village Roadshow film Alter Ego.

While working as a radio producer and DJ in Athens, Manolis turned to meditation as a way to cultivate inner balance and clarity, gradually expanding his interest into healing-oriented practices. In 2010, he completed an MA in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths, University of London, bringing an academic perspective into his creative path.

In 2012, he relocated to Berlin, where a sound bath experience became a turning point in his journey. He later apprenticed with his mentor, Eléna Sofia Melnishca, co-facilitating sessions and deepening his practical understanding of sound therapy in group settings.

Seeking a broader perspective, he traveled across Southeast Asia, studying both sound and energy-based approaches in different cultural contexts. In Kathmandu, Nepal, he trained in traditional Tibetan singing bowl methods under Master Shree Krishna Shahi. His studies continued with institutions such as the Sound Healing Academy, the Peter Hess Institute, and the Chiang Mai Holistic Wellness Center. Alongside this, his meditation practice deepened through multiple 10-day Vipassana retreats in Nepal and Myanmar.

In recent years, he expanded his work through training in Breathwork with AtmaBreath, as well as in Pranic Healing and Theta Healing, further developing his understanding of how subtle energy, breath, and awareness interact with the body and mind.

Since 2016, Manolis has been offering one-to-one sessions and group sound experiences across Germany, Greece, India, and Nepal. Now based in Chania, Crete, he works throughout Greece and internationally, and leads professional training programs for wellness and mental health practitioners.

His approach brings together elements from Western science, such as nervous system regulation and the physiology of sound, with Eastern perspectives that view the body as an interconnected system of energy, awareness, and flow.

In addition to his private work, he collaborates with luxury hotels and wellness spaces, including Daios Cove, W Costa Navarino, Domes Resorts, JW Marriott, and Aquila Hotels, designing tailored experiences, trainings, and wellness programs.

A TEDxAthens speaker, Manolis has also presented at the international Flow! Summit alongside teachers and researchers such as Gabor Maté, Joe Dispenza, Eckhart Tolle and Bruce Lipton, exploring the connection between mind, body, and consciousness.

His work is rooted in the intention to create a grounded and supportive space where sound, breath, and awareness can facilitate rest, clarity, and a natural return to balance.
