SOUND HEALING

Connect with the power within yourself
– the power to heal and restore.
Your body knows what to do!
The first medicine is sound. The first frequency is vibration

ABOUT ME
I have always had a deep interest in the mysteries of the universe, in the nature surrounding us but also those within the human body itself. Recognising that we are essentially water beings – birthed from water, composed of between 50% and 75% water at any given point in our lives, living on a predominantly water planet – I was really drawn to sound baths as a means of keeping the waters within us flowing healthily.
Water needs to flow, not stagnate. I was drawn to the potential power of vibrations moving through our bodies like ripples in water, both for relaxation and healing.
Completing IPHM accredited training as a sound healer with the Sound Healing School UK was an extraordinary experience. Learning alongside a group of open-hearted individuals and following a path defined by intuition and resonance with a something deeper than textbooks and exams was a true joy.
After more than two decades of nurturing children as a primary school teacher and manager, I am honoured to be nurturing both myself and others in a new field. I hope you will join me.
I am truly grateful to be able to share space with you, where we can engage with the healing power of vibration.
The effects of these vibrations can continue to reverberate positively within you, not just during the sound bath, but as you move back into your daily life as well, sometimes resonating for days afterwards.
SOUND THERAPY
What is sound therapy?
Sound healing uses the power of vibration and resonance to influence the natural rhythms of the body through a process called entrainment.
This means that the natural vibration of every cell responds to the vibrations of sound healing instruments and begins to synchronise.
This synchronisation can happen at physical, neurological and emotional levels within the body.
The brain responds to frequencies used in the sound bath, moving between different wave states – from active beta waves to calmer alpha and theta states.
How can it benefit me?
The sound waves travel through the whole body, influencing the systems associated with balance, relaxation and the cells themselves. As a result, people can experience a range of benefits, from deep relaxation to lowering blood pressure or affecting emotions.
Studies have shown wide-ranging benefits, including (but not restricted to):
- Reduction in stress
- Greater creativity
- Anxiety relief
- Improvement in mood
- Greater mindfulness – staying in the moment
- Pain reduction
- Better quality of sleep
