Feel the vibration of healing sounds

Sound is all around us, and can affect us on the emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual level

Sound healing uses techniques based on a combination of ancient knowledge and new scientific research to provide therapeutic sounds and vibrations that work to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Experiencing the harmonic resonance can lift you into a state of bliss and peace, allowing a sense of deep relaxation and the release of built up emotions. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Sound healing is a powerful tool for improving health. Some of the potential benefits include: 

- improved sleep

- stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system leading to a state of relaxation 

- reducing stress and the presence of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which in turn reduces inflammation and lowers high blood pressure 

- allowing the body to self-heal and regenerate 

- reduces symptoms of stress related conditions such as IBS, fibromyalgia and PTSD

- reduction of chronic pain 

- induces a state of mental clarity 

- improved memory and attention 

- allowing emotion processing and emotional release

- can help with addiction cravings and binge-eating

- stimulating a deep meditative state 

- reduces anxiety

- increasing self-awareness, imagination, creativity, inner calm and patience 

and many more! 



Sound healing 1:1 and group sessions will start with a brief introduction and intention setting. You can choose to lie down or sit in a comfortable position. 


If you feel safe to do so, you are encouraged to close your eyes to experience the sounds. A variety of instruments will then be played. These may include Himalayan singing bowls, gong, drums, chimes, bells, shakers, tuning forks and flute. The instruments will vary each session depending on the needs of the person/group.


In a 1:1 session we may play some instruments on the body if you are happy for this, as well as around the body. 


There will be a period of silence at the end to allow for integration of the sounds, vibrations and experience. We will use sound and touch to help you ground yourself after the session.


If this is your first time with sound healing, you should consult your doctor if any of the following apply to you:

- you are pregnant 

- you have cardiac pacemaker, artificial heart valve, stent, shunt or cardiac arrhythmia

- you have a deep brain stimulation device (DBS)

- you have epilepsy 


For 1:1 and couple sessions we will start with a consultation before commencing the sound to ensure there are no contraindications for you, and to ascertain your preferences for the session. 


If you are attending a group sound bath, bring a mat or something comfortable to lie on. You can also bring a cushion or pillow, a blanket, and an eye mask if you wish. It is a good idea to bring a bottle of water. 


For 1:1 and couple sessions we will provide everything needed. If you would prefer to use your own eye mask, blanket etc.  you are welcome to bring them along.
