Sound Therapy is a fast-growing modality used to alleviate many stress-related conditions (such as anxiety, insomnia, and high blood pressure to name only a few). As stress is a major cause for suffering and disease, sound is rapidly becoming known as a very versatile and powerful healing medium.

Using sound for therapy and healing has been shown to relax our nervous system, improve our state of mind and improve the function of our immune system. It helps with sleep and pain relief, brings us in tune with ourselves, and uplifts our vibration and state of being.

As we are essentially vibration and are impacted and influenced by our environment, we are exposed to unnatural and disharmonious vibrations every day.  Traffic noise, building sites, computers, air conditioners or mobile phones and wifi, are examples that all impact our vibration and build stress in our bodies.

The principle of entrainment is one of the main components in the sound healing process. The idea is that if you project a steady, harmonious sound at a disharmonious one, it will eventually bring it into resonance with the harmonious sound. Our atoms, molecules, cells, glands, and organs all have a natural resonant frequency that can get ‘out of tune’. Applying the correct frequency outside our body can stimulate sympathetic vibration inside and bring you back in tune.

Imagine receiving a gentle bath of sounds allowing your body to let go and move into a deeper state of relaxation.

Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation but it also has a way of moving through blockages in the body. Sound Therapy has been known to help treat such conditions as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, and pain.

Because there is such an opportunity to use both modalities together, I use Sound Therapy, as an integration tool in Relational Somatic Therapy sessions as well as, small group workshops connecting sound and body in a mindfulness-based approach.
