FAQs
What is sound therapy?
Sound therapy is a holistic practice that uses the vibrations of instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to help promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and restore balance to the mind and body.
What is Vibrational Sound Therapy (VST)?
Vibrational Sound Therapy is a one-on-one experience where therapeutic Himalayan singing bowls are placed directly on or around the body while gently invited to sing. The vibrations penetrate deep into the muscles and nervous system, promoting relaxation, releasing tension, and restoring energetic balance.
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a deeply meditative, full-body listening experience that invites therapeutic and restorative effects for both the mind and body. As the room becomes immersed in harmonic sound waves, from crystal singing bowls and other sound instruments, your entire system is gently guided into a state of relaxation and balance.
What is the difference between a VST session and a sound bath?
Although both therapies use similar sound instruments, the main difference is how the bowls are used. In a VST session, the main instrument is a metal Himalayan singing bowl that is used directly on or near the clients body. During a sound bath you are laying on a yoga mat near the practitioner while crystal singing bowls and various other sound instruments, along with Himalayan singing bowls, are used to bath you in an immersive sound energy experience.
How long are the sessions?

Vibrational Sound Therapy: 30, 60, or 90 minutes
