Frequently Asked Questions about Sound Therapy

A sound bath is a deeply relaxing, meditative experience where you lie down comfortably while being bathed in sound waves produced by various instruments including Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, and drums. No water is involved — the term refers to being immersed in sound.

For the most comfortable experience, please bring:

• A yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on
• A blanket and pillow for warmth and comfort
• Water to stay hydrated
• An eye mask if you have one (optional)

No experience is needed at all. Sound therapy is suitable for complete beginners. You simply lie down, close your eyes, and allow the sounds to wash over you. There is nothing you need to do — just relax and receive.

Sound therapy can support your well-being in many ways:

• Deep relaxation and stress relief
• Improved sleep quality
• Emotional release and balance
• Reduced anxiety and tension
• Enhanced physical well-being

Community sound baths typically last around 60–75 minutes, including time to settle in and come back gently afterwards. One-to-one sessions are tailored to your needs and usually last around 60 minutes.

Sound therapy is a gentle, non-invasive practice suitable for most people. However, if you have epilepsy, are in the first trimester of pregnancy, have a pacemaker, or have any serious mental health conditions, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss your needs.

Sessions use a combination of Himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, gongs, and drums. The specific instruments are selected bespoke to your needs and preferences, whether you want deep relaxation, emotional release, or an uplifting and energising experience.
