Have you ever heard of a Sound Bath or Gong Bath before?
A Sound Bath is a form of meditation where you are bathed in sound waves from one or more gongs, singing bowls or other musical instruments.
Brain waves
You might know that your brain waves fluctuate between different frequencies when thinking/doing tasks and when you are relaxing. The vibrations when a gong is played can quickly take you into the Alpha range of frequencies, where you are relaxed yet alert, into the Theta range associated with meditating, learning and memory, and even the Delta frequencies for repairing, regenerating and renewing your cells. Theta and Delta waves are associated with attuning the body to its naturally healthy state.
Watch a clip on YouTube here of the effect of sound vibrations on water, and imagine, if humans really are 60-70% water as experts have suggested, what the effects of sound are on you. You can also see the effects of sound vibrations on sand here. The resonance of the gongs can produce a healing frequency – just watch this clip on the effect on human blood cells after immersion in the vibrations of gongs for just 20 minutes.
What happens?
You sit on a chair or lay down as I play one or more gongs, singing bowls or other instruments.
Each experience is unique. Apart from any healing or re-tuning that may or may not take place, it promises to be a relaxing time, and could be a fun story with which to entertain your friends and family.
…in the days that followed it I felt as though I had spent the weekend at a fancy spa!” Diane Hill

Thanks so much for the excellent sound bath yesterday, we both enjoyed it immensely! It certainly helped clear my brain of all the thoughts and uncertainties and alleviated my anxiety.” And from his 4th private sound bath: “Thanks so much for the magical experience yesterday, as always it was perfect.” Andy Sawyer
I was holding onto a lot of negative unhealthy emotions and the session helped to funnel out the negativity…very powerful session.” Sarah-Jane Davis
Public Sound Baths
I also offer Sound Baths on occasion in other venues open to the general public. Please arrive in plenty of time to get comfortable before the start. No admittance after starting to avoid disrupting your experience. Bring your own mat, blanket and pillow, and a bottle of water if you desire. Upright chairs will be provided if you’d rather sit. If you have a different/dis-ability or life-threatening allergy, please let me know ahead of time.
The gong sound bath is not recommended for people suffering from tinnitus, HSP, and in the first trimester of pregnancy. Please consult your doctor. Next one on the events page.
Thank you for a brilliant sound bath last night.” Karen L.
Big thank you for yesterday, my ears and head have felt bad for days and it was so relaxing and healing yesterday that I came home and finished [work], slept like a log and woke up feeling so much better and clearer in my head. So it obviously moved something.” Vicky F.
£15 per person
You can also book me for your gathering/organisation – starting from £150 for 10 people. Concessions available.
