My Story
In 2020, I faced a personal health challenge that fundamentally altered my approach to wellness. Experiencing worsening cognitive symptoms and concerned about their underlying causes, I sought the expertise of a neurologist who identified anxiety as the primary issue. Initially presented with the option of prescription medications, I was hesitant to revisit a path that had previously led to complex side effects and more questions than answers.
My journey took a promising turn when I recalled the profound relief I experienced during a sound bath I attended in 2019. This led me to a pivotal question: could I harness the power of sound therapy to manage my anxiety? Motivated by the need for change, I immersed myself in the study of sound therapy and quickly began to understand its benefits.
Sound therapy not only enhanced the activity of my parasympathetic nervous system—the rest and restore state—but also harmonized my brainwaves with the soothing sound waves. This transition from an active to a relaxed, dreamlike state significantly reduced my mental chatter, bringing much-needed quiet which was refreshing. Remarkably, the rejuvenation I felt after a sound bath was something that even 8-10 hours of sleep had failed to provide.
Empowered by my own healing, I developed a passion for sharing this transformative experience with others facing similar challenges. My journey into sound therapy has not only been a personal revelation but also a professional calling to aid others in finding their sanctuary in sound.

My Approach
Serenity Sounds uses Vibrational Sound Therapy or VST. The VST method combines a powerful vibration and tones using Himalayan Singing bowls to induce an immediate relaxed state. The induction of sound waves directly into the body, along with soothing ambient tones, is such a strong treatment that clients often report effects ranging from a meditative state to deep relaxaton and some even report a sleeping state. By placing the bowls directly on the body and using correct techniques, I engage the body both physically and aurally.
One major comfort barrier that prevents many people from receiving a traditional massage is the fear of being touched by a stranger. Rest assured that during your VST session, you are always fully clothed and never directly touched by the practitioner. This does not diminish the connection between you and the practitioner as the spiritual intimacy and intention are both maintained through the sound and vibration transmitted through the bowls.
