FAQs

Come as you are. You’ll want to wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillows and water.

Set your intentions and come with an open, relaxed mindset. I’ll gently guide you through the rest. No experience is needed.

For open sound bath events, please arrive no more than 10 minutes ahead to settle in.

Where do you offer in-person services?

I offer in-person services in the comfort of your home in the Winnipeg, Manitoba area. You may also join an open group sound bath at various locations by looking at upcoming events.

What’s different about an End of Life session?

The End of Life session is a gentle, supportive experience focused on comfort rather than outcomes. Sessions are designed to create a calming environment to support relaxation, emotional ease, inner clarity and a sense of presence. Some people find the sounds soothing or grounding, and others appreciate the peaceful companionship they provide. There’s no expectation to respond in any particular way. I meet people where they’re at.

When it comes to palliative pain management, comfort comes first. Please continue with your regular pain medication protocols.

Sessions can be provided by the bedside in the Winnipeg area when possible.

Will it help with anxiety?

Sound therapy is not a mental health intervention but it’s a great way to support your nervous system regulation work. It helps to entrain the brain into a dreamlike theta brainwave state, where the nervous system downshifts into “rest and digest” mode. This is where cortisol levels drop and the heart settles into a slower pace. If you’ve been existing in survival mode for a long time, regular sessions may help your nervous system remember how to shift back to a calm state more easily after a stress response. Sound therapy also pairs well with other therapeutic modalities.

Sound therapy is considered a low-risk therapeutic practice. There are, however, circumstances where it may not be suitable.

Consult with your healthcare provider before booking a session if you have an electrical implant like a pacemaker or VNS, have had sound-induced seizures, if you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, or if you’re suffering from an acute medical condition.

Intoxication from alcohol or recreational drugs is not recommended as results are unpredictable, and usually significantly blunted.

Sound therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Individual experiences vary, and responses to sound therapy may differ from person to person.

Is sound therapy safe for everyone?

How should I prepare for a sound bath?

Are online sessions effective?

Absolutely, but it does help to have good headphones. Many people find that being in their own space actually helps them relax more deeply and integrate the experience afterward. Your attention matters more than distance. You don’t have to do anything special during a session. Just lie comfortably and let the sound do the work. You’re welcomed to turn off your Zoom camera during the session if that’s more comfortable.

How should I prepare for my personal sound journey?

For the best experience, pick a quiet, cozy spot in your home where you can lie down (or sit in reclining chair) with minimal distractions. Settle in with pillows, a blanket, and hydrate before and after your session. You may choose to journal your intentions before the session. I save time before and after the sound journey to chat.

For online sessions, good quality over-the-ear earphones will provide you with the best experience.
