INTENTIONAL SOUND • HEALING PRESENCE
SOUND HEALING PRACTITIONER
Our bodies consist of about 60% water. Because of this, the energetic vibration of sound can have a profound effect physically and energetically. Research shows that sound and music can help the Nervous System move from the fight/flight/freeze response to the Relaxation Response. When our bodies are more relaxed, our minds and emotions will follow.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?
A Sound Bath is the use of sound through various instruments (crystal singing bowls, rattles, metal bowls, the voice, chimes, drums, flutes, etc,) to interrupt negative patterns in the body (stress responses), release the energies built up from those patterns, and bring the body to a more relaxed, stabilized state.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION
I typically begin a Sound Session with gentle breathing exercises and a guided meditation. Attendees are invited to bring mats, blankets, and pillows for maximum comfort. I begin the Sound Journey with rhythmic drumming, rattles made from Peruvian Chakapa leaves, rainsticks, and an ocean drum. These instruments shake up and wash away stuck energy in the body. Gradually, binaural sounds created by tingsha cymbals and Himalayan singing bowls are introduced. Eventually, I move to the Crystal singing bowls, harmonizing the energy frequencies in your body, calming your nervous system, and bringing your body back to a feeling of balance. Sometimes I sing and/or play the flute while the bowls are going. I will often end the session with gentle tuning forks held on the feet or held close to the ears. This serves to bring participants back to the present moment and integrate back into the present moment. Each session varies, and I often incorporate a theme for the group or invite individuals to set intentions for themselves.

1:1 Sessions and Group Sessions are offered. I do not currently have my own space but offer monthly group sessions at the I AM Holistic Services studio in downtown St. Johns. For 1:1 Sessions, I will come to YOU.
