In the Sound Bath you are invited to lie down, wrap yourself in a blanket and allow waves of sounds to ‘wash’ over you and move through you.  I will carefully select different instruments to create these vibrational waves such as Gong, Singing bowls, Voice and Drum.  These beautiful instruments tap into the nervous system and slow down our brain waves, encouraging a state of calm where the body can find homeostats and self-heal.

On the day bring everything you need to be comfortable and to get the most from your experience, this may include: a yoga mat, pillows for your head and maybe under your knees, blankets – even a duvet or a sleeping bag if you want to be super comfy! 

A journal to write down any inspirations that follow and a water bottle.

Any Contradictions: Not suitable during pregnancy or for anyone triggered by sound.
