Sound
Sound meditation (healing)
Our bodies are a beautiful orchestra – all of our cells, bones, tissues and organs have their own resonant frequency. When we are well, these frequencies play in perfect harmony, when we are stressed, worried, angry or fearful, our body becomes ‘out of tune’ and we suffer from illness. A sound meditation creates a space of soothing vibrations that help to realign the resonant frequencies of our bodies, creating inner calm, harmony, feelings of peace and deep rest, which promotes self-healing.
A sound meditation can be experienced in a group as a ‘sound bath’ or as a course of individual treatments.
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is the name given to a group sound meditation. You lie down, or sit in a chair, covered in a blanket with a pillow for your knees and head. I will then lead you in a relaxation meditation, then will play the sound bowls (crystal and Himalayan) to create a soothing, immersive sound that encourages your mind and body to rest. You may experience a deep meditative state where your body and mind can begin to release, relax, restore and heal.
The sound bath will end with a period of silence which allows the vibrations to settle. After the silence, I will lead you in an awakening meditation. Book here

Sometimes a sound meditation can release emotions that need further support, if this is the case, it might be advisable to receive individual sound treatments.
What are sound treatments?
I offer sound treatments as single treatments, or in courses of three, one week apart, which allow for deeper, longer lasting healing, taking you through an often-transformational process in a gentle and supportive way.
You will lie down on the treatment couch, with a blanket over the top of you and a pillow for your knees and head. I will lead you in a relaxation meditation followed by the playing of the crystal or Himalayan bowls – depending on your preference – specifically tailored to support your physical, emotional, mental and energetic wellbeing.
Crystal singing bowls are played off the body; Himalayan bowls are played off the body, around the body and on the body.
Once I have finished playing the bowls, you will lay in silence as the vibrations settle and continue to harmonise your body and mind. After the silence, I will lead you in an awakening meditation.
Potential benefits:
- Often a deeper and more transformative process
- Releasing of emotions
- Releasing of trauma
- Relief from pain and tension
- Reduction in stress, anxiety and depression
- Clarity of thought and clear steps forward
