Sound Healing & Sound Baths

I first started attending sound baths when I was running an organization and busy 24/7. I found that sound baths helped to calm by body and mind in a way that almost nothing else could. In just 45 minutes, I felt myself move out of overwhelm and return back down to earth. I was hooked and would search out sound baths wherever I was. When I made a career switch and moved into coaching and wellness, I decided to train as a sound healer. I completed my initial training with a focus on crystal bowls, and am now undertaking a 200 hour training to continue to build my skills and intuition as a sound healer.

What is Sound Healing?

Sound healing is a full-body meditative experience using instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gongs. The sounds and vibrations help to slow and relax brainwaves and bring a deep sense of grounding, calm, and peace into the mind and body. This relaxed state supports people in reducing mental chatter and overwhelm and creates a healing environment in the body. People often share that they leave feeling more relaxed, have better sleep, and increased focus in their lives.

 FAQs

  • Sound healing is a practice that uses sound vibrations to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing.

    A sound bath is a full-body meditative experience often involving singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other instruments to “bathe” people in vibration and sound. Prior to the sound bath, people will often get comfortable in a lying down position supported by blankets and props. During the sound bath, a variety of instruments are played to support deep relaxation and calming of the mind and body. 

  • Sound healing works by stimulating slower brainwaves that support relaxation, deep meditative states, and healing in the body. By moving into a state of deep relaxation, sound healing can shift the body into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), which helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones. 

  • Sound healing helps with moving out of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm and into deep states of relaxation. In doing so, an environment for healing is created that can support a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol and an increase in our natural endorphins. 

    Sound healing helps quiet the mind and mental chatter and can support people in accessing deep states of meditation and peace. It can slow brainwaves to the state where healing and regeneration happen (theta), and can support recovery from poor sleep. Sound vibrations can also support the movement of stagnant energy in the body and support emotional release and wellbeing.

  • If at yoga studio with lots of props:
    Wear something comfortable and just bring yourself! All of the blankets and props will be ready for you when you arrive.

    If at a place without blankets / props:
    Please bring anything that may support your comfort such as a yoga mat or blanket to lie on, a pillow or folded blanket for your head and a blanket to place over you. It can also be nice to have a folded blanket or pillow under your knees.

    If you have access to limited props, please bring something to lay on and something to cover yourself with. (blanket, towel, scarf, sweatshirt, etc.)

  • If you have any questions related to your health and whether this is a good fit for you, please check in with your doctor.

  • Sometimes people fall asleep during sound baths and that’s absolutely ok and normal. If you are snoring loudly, I may come over and gently touch your foot or ankle to wake you up and encourage you to roll onto your side.
