During a sound bath, sound frequencies resonate with your body’s natural vibrations. The vibrations encourage relaxation, reduce stress, and help promote emotional healing by gently guiding the mind and body to release what no longer serves them.

People have reported experiencing the following benefits:

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, or cushion to lie on, and wear comfortable clothing. Some people also bring an eye mask or a pillow for extra comfort. If you’re sensitive to sound, feel free to bring earplugs to adjust the experience.

Note: Some locations may have these items available, but we recommend bringing your own to ensure your comfort.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to relax fully. Since you’ll be lying down for an extended period, cozy layers can help you stay comfortable throughout the session.

No experience is necessary! Sound baths are accessible for everyone, whether you’re new to meditation or a regular practitioner. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to relax.

Most of our sound baths feature 45 minutes to 1 hour of sound immersion, followed by a few minutes of quiet time to gently transition back to everyday awareness. Including arrival, setup, and closing, the entire event typically lasts 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Nope! You’ll simply lie down and listen. There’s no movement or participation required beyond finding a comfortable position and allowing yourself to relax. However, if it’s a sound bath paired with another event, like breathwork or yoga, participation may be involved. This will be clearly noted in the event description.

Yes, falling asleep is perfectly okay! Some people drift off into a light sleep as they relax. The experience can be beneficial whether you’re fully awake or in a state of deep rest.

Generally, sound baths are safe for most people. However, if you have specific health concerns—such as sensitivity to sound or conditions that are impacted by vibrations—it’s best to consult a healthcare professional beforehand.

This is entirely up to you! Some people attend weekly, while others join monthly or whenever they feel the need for relaxation and balance.

Many pregnant individuals find sound baths calming and beneficial. However, it’s always recommended to consult your doctor beforehand. If you do attend, let the facilitator know, and feel free to take breaks or adjust your position as needed for comfort.

If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you’re welcome to quietly step out, sit up, or adjust your position. You’re in control of your experience, and we encourage you to do what feels best.

Tips for getting the most out of your first sound bath experience!

Your first sound bath is an opportunity to relax, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. If you’re new to sound healing, you might not know exactly what to expect. Don’t worry—this guide will walk you through five essential tips to help you make the most of the experience.

1. Come with an Open Mind

Sound healing is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. The gentle vibrations and tones work on a physical, emotional, and energetic level, even if you don’t fully understand the science behind it. Leave any expectations or skepticism at the door and allow yourself to simply be. Every experience is unique, so focus on how the sounds make you feel in the moment.

2. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Think cozy and relaxed—yoga pants, loose tops, or any soft, breathable fabrics. You’ll be lying down for most of the session, so wearing something comfortable will help you fully relax and immerse yourself in the experience. You might also want to dress in layers, as your body temperature can drop during deep relaxation.

3. Bring Essentials (and a Little Extra)

For your comfort, consider bringing the following:

• A yoga mat or blanket to lie on.
• A pillow or bolster for neck or back support.
• An extra blanket to stay warm during the session.

For those looking to enhance the experience, you can also bring crystals or bottles of water to charge. 

The vibrations and frequencies from the singing bowls create a unique energy field that interacts with these items. Crystals can be cleansed and recharged, amplifying their natural properties, while water absorbs the sound waves, infusing it with positive, healing energy. It’s a beautiful way to carry the benefits of the sound bath with you long after the session ends.

4. Arrive Early for Your Tuning Fork Mini Treatment

We start each session with a Tuning Fork Mini Treatment, a complimentary energy-balancing experience designed to align your body and mind before the immersion begins. Arriving approximately 10 minutes early ensures you have enough time to enjoy this special grounding ritual without feeling rushed.

After the sound bath, we close with a Crystal Pyramid Mini Attunement. This gentle practice helps you transition back to the present moment, leaving you feeling refreshed, centered, and fully recharged.

5. Let Go, Be Present, & Adjust as Needed 

During the sound bath, allow yourself to relax and let go of any tension. You might feel a variety of sensations, from deep calm to emotional release. These are all part of the healing process, and it’s okay to feel whatever comes up.

If you feel uncomfortable at any point, remember that it’s your session, and you’re free to adjust. You can move around to find a more comfortable position, cover your ears if you need a moment to adjust to the sounds, or simply sit up and breathe. Your comfort and experience are the priority, so honor what feels right for you in the moment.

 Bonus Tip: Reflect & Recharge After Your Session

Take a few moments after the sound bath to reflect on how you’re feeling. Drink plenty of water—especially if you charged it during the session—jot down your thoughts in a journal, or sit quietly to savor the sense of calm. Sound healing doesn’t end when the session is over—it continues to work long after you leave the space.

I’ll be honest—when I first heard about sound baths, I wasn’t sure they were for me. I had been to yoga classes where bowls were played at the end, but it felt more like a background element than something truly impactful. I didn’t fully understand how lying down and listening to sounds could make a difference in how I felt.

But then, I attended my first dedicated sound bath, and everything changed. It wasn’t just relaxing—it was transformative. For the first time in a long time, I felt truly calm, both mentally and physically. Even better, the benefits didn’t stop when the sound bath ended. For days afterward, I noticed a shift in my chronic illness symptoms—they felt just a little easier to manage. That small improvement made a huge difference for me.

From that moment, I knew I had to keep going. Sound baths became part of my self-care routine, and they’ve continued to help me in ways I never thought possible. Now, I get to share this incredible experience with others through the events we host—and it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.

If you’re hesitant or unsure if a sound bath is for you, I get it. Trying something new can feel weird, but sometimes that’s where the biggest breakthroughs happen. Whether you’re looking to relax, recharge, or just try something different, I promise it’s worth giving a sound bath a chance.

 One of the most fascinating aspects of sound healing is how our brains respond to the frequencies we hear. This phenomenon, known as Frequency Following Response (FFR), plays a key role in why sound baths can feel so transformative. Here’s how it works and why it’s so impactful during a sound immersion.

What is Frequency Following Response (FFR)?

FFR is the brain’s natural ability to mimic the frequencies it hears. When exposed to specific sound waves, like those produced by singing bowls, gongs, or tuning forks, your brain begins to synchronize with the tones. Essentially, your mind “follows” the rhythm and frequency, allowing the sound to influence your mental and emotional state.

FFR and Relaxation During Sound Baths

In a sound bath, instruments like 432 Hz crystal bowls emit frequencies that your brain picks up and mirrors. These tones encourage your brain to shift into lower-frequency states, such as:

• Alpha Waves (8-12 Hz): Associated with calmness and relaxation.
• Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Linked to deep meditation, creativity, and emotional healing.

This shift helps quiet the mind, reduce stress, and guide you into a deeply restorative state.

The Cellular Connection

FFR doesn’t just impact the mind—it also influences the body. The harmonious frequencies emitted during a sound bath resonate with the body’s cells, promoting relaxation and even encouraging physical healing. The synchronization of brain and body through FFR creates a full-spectrum healing experience.

Why It Works Best in Sound Baths

Unlike listening to music through headphones or speakers, the immersive environment of a sound bath allows FFR to take full effect. The vibrations from the instruments physically move through the body, creating a multi-dimensional experience where you feel the frequencies, not just hear them. This makes it easier for your brain and body to align with the healing sounds.

Experience FFR for Yourself

Whether you’re seeking relaxation, emotional release, or a deeper connection to yourself, Frequency Following Response is the secret ingredient that makes sound baths so powerful. By tuning into the frequencies of the instruments, your mind and body are naturally guided into harmony, leaving you refreshed and rebalanced.

When it comes to sound healing, the frequency of the instruments we use plays a significant role in the experience and benefits. One of the most common questions we’re asked is why we choose 432 Hz singing bowls for our sound immersions. Here’s why:

The Science of 432 Hz

432 Hz is often referred to as the frequency of the universe. Unlike the more standard 440 Hz frequency (which most modern musical instruments are tuned to), 432 Hz resonates harmoniously with 8 Hz, known as the Schumann Resonance—the Earth’s natural electromagnetic “heartbeat.”

This resonance creates a deep connection between the frequencies of the Earth, the universe, and the human body. When you’re immersed in the sound of 432 Hz bowls, your body and mind naturally align with these frequencies, fostering a greater sense of balance and well-being.

Harmonizing the Chakras

Chakra bowl sets tuned to 432 Hz are particularly effective for sound healing because they emit vibrations that resonate with the body’s energy centers (chakras). These harmonious tones encourage cellular changes, promote emotional release, and help align the mind and body with the Earth’s natural rhythms.

Why We Prefer 432 Hz Over 440 Hz

While 440 Hz is the modern standard for tuning instruments, it doesn’t align as deeply with the body’s natural frequencies. The sound waves from 432 Hz bowls are softer and more harmonious, creating a calming, meditative experience. Many sound healing practitioners, including us, believe 432 Hz fosters deeper relaxation, better energy alignment, and more profound healing.

Experience the Difference

During our sound immersions, you’ll feel the subtle yet powerful difference that 432 Hz frequencies bring. Whether it’s a soothing sense of connection, emotional release, or a boost to your overall energy, the interaction of these bowls creates a space for transformation.

Music has always been part of my life—and my family’s story. I started playing the violin when I was just 2.5 years old. It was a big part of my childhood, and I got really good at it, dedicating so much of my time and energy to practicing and performing. I kept playing for most of my life, but when I got to college, I found myself drifting away from it.

The violin is such a beautiful instrument, but it always felt isolating to me. No one around me knew how to play, and it’s not the kind of instrument you can just casually share with others. No one really wanted to just sit and hear me play—it felt like something I loved but couldn’t fully share.

That’s why learning to play the sound bowls has been such a transformative experience for me. It’s still music, but it’s different. It’s something I can share with my family and my community, creating a space where we all come together to feel the energy, healing, and connection that sound brings. It’s not just about playing anymore—it’s about sharing.

Music runs deep in my family. Everyone has played an instrument at some point, and my grandfather is a world-renowned composer. Carrying on that tradition of music, but in a way that connects me to others, has been so special. Sound healing has opened up a whole new way for me to embrace the power of music, not just for myself but for the people around me.

💫 I’m so grateful for this journey, and I’m always excited to share it with others. If you’ve ever been curious about sound healing or just want to experience it for yourself, I’d love for you to join us for an upcoming sound bath!

 Before my mom passed away, sound healing had already started becoming a part of our lives. I remember inviting family members to try a sound bath, curious to see if the calming, meditative experience that had such a profound impact on me could do the same for them. Little did I know how much deeper this practice would connect us.

After she died, it became clear that we all needed a space to grieve, heal, and simply be together without the weight of everyday life pulling us apart. I slowly began encouraging more and more of my family to join me in these sessions. At first, it was just a couple of us, quietly lying down, letting the soothing vibrations wash over us. Then, it became something bigger—a shared ritual that gave us peace during one of the most challenging times in our lives.

In those moments, the sound baths became more than a calming experience. They became a way for us to bond on a deeper level. We didn’t need to speak to process our emotions or connect; the sounds did the work. Each vibration seemed to carry unspoken words of comfort, love, and support.

Sound healing gave us a way to release what we were holding inside, together. It was a space where we could reflect, let go of the stress, and just be. It brought us closer, not only as individuals but as a family navigating grief.

Now, every time I lead or participate in a sound bath, I’m reminded of how much healing power this practice holds—not just for me, but for the people I love most.
