Sound healing uses instruments and vibration to activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system — the part that helps us rest, restore, and heal. This natural shift slows the breath, calms the heart rate, and settles the mind.

The benefits can be wide-ranging, including:

• Reducing stress and anxiety

• Supporting better sleep

• Lowering blood pressure

• Easing physical pain

• Supporting emotional balance and connection

Everyone experiences sound healing in their own way. Some people drift into a dream-like state or even fall asleep, while others feel a sense of timelessness, recall memories, or move through emotional release. Many describe it as feeling “reset” — more relaxed, centered, and connected.

A sound bath is where we gather as a group to enjoy sound healing. It is very similar to a 1:1 experience, but less individualized. We begin with a meditation which leads into sound immersion. Afterwards we ground back in and some choose to chat with others about their experience. For sound baths we usually choose an intention to focus the group general energy on, but you still have your own private experience with that intention. In sound baths we are respectful of other’s space if one chooses to keep private, but it also can be really nice to share an experience like this with friends to chat about what it was like. It is really cool to be in a room surrounded by like-minded people who have showed up to heal their minds and bodies and reset- it creates a safe and relaxing atmosphere!

Reiki is a form of energy healing. The practitioner places their hands on or near the clients body at specific points to channel life-force energy through them to the client. It is used for stress reduction, healing, and relaxation.

When you arrive, we’ll start by briefly reviewing your intake form, addressing any concerns, and signing the waiver together. From there, you’ll get settled lying down comfortably, and we’ll begin with a short guided meditation to help you relax and arrive fully in the space.

The session combines sound healing and Reiki. You’ll always experience the crystal bowls, and I may bring in other instruments depending on your needs that day. Reiki energy work is woven throughout — this involves my hands being placed gently on or just above specific points of your body (based on your comfort level) to support the natural flow of energy. It is important to note Reiki is very different than massage and is not considered to be the same thing, the hand placements for the energy work are gentle and rest on the body- we are not working the muscles or fascia through movement.

The overall experience is like entering a deep state of rest — not quite sleep, though some people do drift off. While you rest, the combination of sound and energy work helps your body shift into its own healing mode. We’ll close with grounding so you leave feeling present and steady, and if you’d like, you’ll have space to share or reflect on your experience.

Everyone experiences energy and sound healing a little differently. For some, the effects are immediate; for others, they unfold gradually. Many people describe it as their brain receiving a “massage,” a sense of losing awareness of their body, or finding a deep calm and peace within themselves.

Sound and energy work support balance in the mind, body, and spirit. These practices can ease tension in the physical body, support emotional release, and open space for spiritual connection. By working through the chakra system, energy can be moved, released, or harmonized — often bringing shifts that may feel different from session to session.

Just like working out different muscle groups at the gym, energy healing can bring a range of sensations. Sometimes you may feel lighter right away, while other times you might notice emotional or physical shifts in the days following. Frequency also plays a role — clients who come regularly often find that their sessions deepen over time, bringing greater relaxation and connection.

Healing isn’t a straight line. There are natural ups and downs, and each session is tailored to what you need in the moment. My role is to support your unique process and help your body and energy move toward balance.

General long term benefits of consistent healing experiences include: better sleep, better focus, heightened creativity, helping with blood pressure/blood flow, helping with anxiety, strengthening the immune system, feeling a deeper sense of love and connection

Sound healing affects each person differently, and research has shown many positive benefits for the mind and body. However, as with any practice, there are some medical conditions to be mindful of. If you use devices such as a pacemaker or insulin pump, or if you have a complex medical condition, please consult with your doctor before participating. Some conditions may require me to adjust how I use sound directly on the body. For your safety, all clients are required to sign a liability waiver and complete a brief intake form before their session.

It’s also important to know that sound healing, Reiki, and other energy practices can sometimes bring up stored emotions or memories — whether related to trauma, grief, or past experiences. This can be a powerful part of the healing process, but it can also feel intense. If you are currently in therapy or working through trauma, I recommend letting your therapist know you are trying sound or energy work so they can support you if needed.

Minors wanting to receive a 1:1 service with me will need a legal guardian present with them upon their first appointment to check them in and fill out paperwork agreements and release forms for the minor.
