Why Private Sound Baths?
Between 60%-90% of physicians' visits reflect emotional distress and somatization; sound baths can help to combat this by promoting two major benefits: stress relief and emotional processing. My sound baths are designed to be a space for rest and rejuvenation. Here, I hold space for you to move through emotional blockages and reconnect with the peace that is always within you. These sound bath sessions utilize the sonic vibrations of singing bowls, tuning forks, and other live instruments known for their deeply relaxing and balancing qualities.
Compared to a group sound bath, a 1:1 sound bath is a more focused experience involving a special level of personal care. The entire session is designed around your intentions and preferences. Whether you seek stress relief, clarity, chronic pain relief, and/or emotional processing, the session and instruments used can be customized to resonate with your unique needs and energy. The instruments will be played around your body for an immersive sound experience without the distraction of other participants. The bowls may also be placed on your body and therefore the vibrations are felt more powerfully than during a group session.

What to Expect
Upon arrival at your appointment, you'll be offered a complimentary Blue Lotus tea with Butterfly Pea Flower. As we begin the session, you'll lie on a treatment table while being immersed in Solfeggio frequencies. I will then guide you through somatic exercises to help you enter a state of relaxation, making you more receptive to the beneficial effects of sound. After that, there is nothing left to do but to simple be, while I play instruments around your body (and, with your consent, on your body), "bathing" you in sonic vibrations. I am the guide, you are your healer. When you are relieved of the stress and responsibilities of your day-to-day life, even for a short while, your body's natural healing abilities have the space to be activated.
My Approach
My journey into wellness began after I escaped an abusive relationship and began organizing free gatherings for the survivor community. For over a decade, I have been listening to stories of interpersonal violence which have motivated me to learn approaches to help regulate the nervous system and process trauma. Whether or not you identify as a survivor, I take a trauma-informed approach to my sound baths, which includes using invitational language and asking for consent before placing the bowls, or my hands, on your body. Trauma goes hand in hand with feelings of powerlessness; at our sound bath sessions, you can say yes to what feels good and no to what doesn't. Your voice and your comfort are valued here.
I consider it an honour to be able to support people who have experienced various forms of abuse and sexual violence, and hold sacred the trust bestowed upon me to hold space in this way.
