Fortnightly
Gong Baths & Sound Healing
What This Is
Once or twice a month on Sunday evenings, I host sound healing sessions using Tibetan singing bowls, shamanic drumming, ocean drums, rain sticks, and gongs.
You don't do anything except lie down and receive. No yoga experience needed, no flexibility required, no effort on your part. Just turn up, get comfortable with blankets and cushions, and let the sound do the work.

"The most profound healing often happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and simply allow what's stuck to move."
The Journey
What Happens
Settle In
Lie down on a yoga mat with blankets and cushions. Get as comfortable as possible - you'll be here for about an hour.
Sound Journey
I play various instruments - singing bowls, gongs, drums - creating waves of sound that shift and change. Your only job is to receive.
Gentle Return
The session ends gradually, giving you time to come back. Many people feel floaty or deeply peaceful afterwards.
Background
My Training
I learned sound healing from Anne Malone, and trained specifically in gong work with James Crossley and through a weekend gong intensive with Sheila Whittaker. The gong isn't just an instrument - it's a healing tool that requires respect and proper understanding to use effectively.
The Science
Why Gongs Work
Gongs create vibrations that your body feels as much as your ears hear. The sound waves are felt at a cellular level, helping to shift stuck energy and release tension you might not even realise you're carrying.
The sound frequencies slow your brainwaves from Beta (active thinking) to Alpha (relaxed meditative state) and sometimes into Theta (the realm of dreams and creativity). A gong puts you into a state of meditation - an altered state of consciousness that's very difficult for most people to achieve on their own. The gong makes it easy.
This is where things can get interesting. Many people have visions, vivid dreams, or encounters with images and sensations they can't quite explain. Gongs are genuinely mysterious, and the healing happens on levels beyond just physical relaxation.
It's both practical therapy and something more mysterious. The healing happens whether you come for a nervous system reset or you're curious about the deeper experience.
When You Need This
People dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, or insomnia

Ready to Try It?
Book through our online system when sessions are available. If you have questions about whether it's right for you, email me. I'm happy to have a proper conversation about what to expect.
Some people become regulars after their first session. Others come when life gets overwhelming and they need the equivalent of a system reboot. Both approaches work perfectly fine.
