Yes, sound healing has been shown to help reduce and relieve physical pain, though it's important to note that it works in a more holistic and energetic way rather than acting as a direct cure. The vibrations and frequencies from instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, and gongs can help release tension in the body, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. When sound waves travel through the body (which is made up of around 70% water), they create gentle movement within the cells and tissues, helping to ease discomfort and promote relaxation. Specific techniques like sound massage, where bowls are placed directly on the body, allow the vibrations to ripple through areas of tension or pain, encouraging physical release and even helping with things like joint pain, headaches, or muscle stiffness. While sound healing is not a replacement for medical treatment, it can be a powerful complementary therapy for pain management, especially for those suffering from chronic pain, emotional trauma, or stress-related tension.

Sound healing can be incredibly powerful for supporting mental health and emotional well-being. Through specific frequencies and vibrations, sound healing works to calm the nervous system, slow down brainwaves, and guide you into a deep meditative state — the same state we enter during deep rest or sleep. How it helps: Reduces stress & anxiety by calming the mind and body Lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone) Shifts brainwave states from an active 'thinking' state (beta brainwaves) to a more relaxed, intuitive state (theta brainwaves) Helps to release stuck emotions or trauma stored in the body Regulates the nervous system, moving you out of 'fight or flight' mode Increases feelings of peace, clarity, and emotional balance Promotes better sleep Helps with depression or feelings of low energy by raising your energetic frequency

Sound healing is for anyone. It is a very accessible practice, where no prior experience is needed. It is for anyone seeking relaxation, emotional release, or deeper connection to themselves. It can support those experiencing stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort, as well as those on a personal or spiritual journey. Whether you're looking to calm your mind, balance your energy, or simply rest and restore, sound healing offers a deeply nurturing and transformative experience.

In a sound healing session, you can expect a deeply calming and restorative experience, designed to bring both your mind and body into balance. The experience will depend on which service you choose, whether it's a 1:1 sound healing session, a group soundbath, or a sound massage experience. However, the same benefits can be experienced across all sessions, such as deep relaxation, stress relief, emotional release, and physical healing. During the session, you’ll be guided into a relaxed state, beginning with a short meditation to help you settle in. From there, various instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums are played around and sometimes directly on the body, allowing you to feel the vibrations and sound waves moving through you. Many people experience a shift in energy, a release of emotional or physical tension, and a sense of lightness and clarity after the session. Others may feel a deep meditative state or even drift into a peaceful sleep. Ultimately, each session is unique to what your mind and body need in that moment.

No, there is no physical activity involved in a sound healing session. All you need to do is lie down comfortably, relax, and allow the sounds and vibrations to wash over you. The experience is completely passive, allowing your body and mind to enter a deep state of rest and relaxation. It’s recommended to wear warm, comfy clothes and thick socks, as your body temperature can drop when you enter a deep meditative state (theta state).

It's best to wear warm, comfortable clothing that allows you to fully relax. Thick socks are encouraged, as body temperature can drop when you reach a deep meditative or sleep state, known as the theta state. Layers are also a good idea so you can adjust your comfort throughout the session. The more relaxed and cosy you feel, the deeper you’ll be able to surrender to the experience.

You don’t need to bring anything in particular to a sound healing session, apart from a bottle of water, as staying hydrated after the session is important. However, you’re more than welcome to bring any personal items that will help you feel more comfortable, such as an eye mask or extra blankets.

Sound healing is safe for most people and there are many case studies that show its benefits for a wide variety of individuals. However, if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or experience sound sensitivity in any part of your body, it's recommended that you consult with your GP before booking a session to ensure it's suitable for you. Your health and comfort with your own decision is paramount. Do get in contact if you wish to discuss anything.

Yes, children can attend sound healing sessions, but it is important to tailor the experience to their needs. Sound healing can be very beneficial for children, helping with relaxation, stress relief, and emotional balance. However, since children have different energy levels and attention spans, it's essential to ensure the session is designed in a way that is engaging and calming for them. Parents or guardians, please contact me directly to discuss technicalities and details if you wish to book for your child / children.

Chakras are energy centers in the body that are believed to govern various physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our well-being. The word "chakra" comes from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "disk," as each chakra is thought to spin like a wheel, moving energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras, each associated with a specific area of the body and corresponding to different physical and emotional states. Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Located at the base of the spine, it represents grounding, stability, and safety. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – Located in the lower abdomen, it governs creativity, pleasure, and emotional well-being. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) – Located in the upper abdomen, it influences personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. Heart Chakra (Anahata) – Located in the center of the chest, it is the center of love, compassion, and connection. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) – Located in the throat, it relates to communication, self-expression, and truth. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – Located between the eyebrows, it governs intuition, wisdom, and perception. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) – Located at the top of the head, it is associated with spiritual connection, enlightenment, and a higher state of consciousness. When chakras are balanced, energy flows freely, promoting physical and emotional health. When blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to physical or emotional discomfort. Sound healing, through the use of frequencies and vibrations, is often used to help balance and align these chakras.

Theta brainwave state is a deeply relaxed, meditative state that occurs when your brainwaves slow down to a frequency of 4-8 Hz. It is often associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and access to the subconscious mind. We naturally enter the theta state during deep meditation, hypnosis, right before falling asleep, and just as we wake up. In this state, the mind becomes more open to healing, emotional release, and reprogramming limiting beliefs. It is also where deep intuition, creativity, and connection to higher consciousness can be accessed. During a sound healing session, the soothing frequencies and vibrations help guide you into this theta brainwave state, allowing the body to deeply relax and activate its natural healing abilities.
