FAQ's

Below you will find answers to many frequently asked question regarding Vibrational Sound Therapy, Sound Baths, and Serenity Sounds

General
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?

What should I expect during a sound bath?

During a sound bath, you will lie down on a comfortable mat, close your eyes, and relax as sound waves wash over you. You may experience deep relaxation, mental clarity, or even a meditative state. Some people feel gentle vibrations or tingling sensations as energy shifts in the body.

VST
FAQs

How long will my VST session last?

Sessions vary from 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Although any session is ok to start with, we recommend you start with a 60 minute session in order to give your body the best opportunity to acclimate to this new experience.

How often should I receive Vibrational Sound Therapy?

It depends on your wellness goals. Some individuals benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions, while others enjoy them monthly or bi-monthly as part of their regular self-care routine.

Are there any contraindications for VST?

VST may not be suitable for individuals with:

  • Pacemakers or implanted medical devices

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clotting disorders

  • Recent surgeries or fractures

  • Severe neurological conditions

  • Pregnancy

Please review our Health and Safety Guide before booking a session.

What should I wear for VST?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal accents such as buttons, zippers, jewelry, or belts to ensure a smooth experience.

What should I expect in a VST session?

You will remain fully clothed and lie down on a massage table, either face-up or face-down based on your comfort. Zen Himalayan singing bowls will be placed on or around your body and gently activated with a mallet, allowing the vibrations to penetrate deeply into your muscles and nervous system.
