The use of Sound as a therapeutic tool is a non-invasive process that can bring the mind, body and energy field into balance. This is realised by vocal toning, singing, chanting, or using other instruments: tuning forks, Tibetan or crystal bowls, gongs, drums, rattles and, most important, the Silence between the sounds!

Sound Healing is an ancient practice currently enjoying resurgence. Used by BCE Greek and Egyptian civilisations and found in Hindu Vedic scripture, indigenous shamans all over the world still use sound, to bring Healing to their tribe.

Everything in the Universe vibrates at its own individual frequency, including the human body. If part of our body is unwell or we have a ‘dis-ease’, then the whole body responds and feels out of sync. We can bring the body back into alignment by using sympathetic vibrations and resonance. Every cell in our body enjoys sound, and also responds well to sound (if you strike a tuning fork and place it on your head or knee, you can hear and feel the vibrations the sound creates). Also, sound travels at great speed in water (3350 mph to be precise), and we are made up of 70% water!

Resonance and Entrainment work in a Sound Healing treatment; if a person is out of balance (physically, mentally or emotionally), they will entrain with the healing sound created by the practitioner.

During an individual Sound Healing session, I use vocal toning and mantra to move energy and unblock imbalances. By using a clear intention to send these sounds into the chakras (centres of subtle energies that affect the whole; mental, physical and emotional), there is an expansion of consciousness.

In individual sound treatments, the client is subtly encouraged to take responsibility for their personal well-being. The process of treating the whole energy body (integrating mind, body and soul) can help unravel mental attitudes to physical problems. It is a non-invasive treatment and drug-free solution, which is versatile for different situations: if someone has mobility problems, they can be treated sitting in a chair; in a Distant Healing the person is not there in the same room as the Healer. Sound does not discriminate: it always travels to where it is needed!
