Sound Immersion Journeys

Transformational Experiences for Health and Well-being

Public and private events offered throughout San Luis Obispo County. Visitors to the beautiful central coast of CA are welcome!

Embark on an Immersive Journey of Sound

Experience a soothing, restorative, and therapeutic experience promoting deep rest, relaxation, and healing!

A Sound Journey* is a holistic experience that harnesses the transformational power of sound energy and vibrations, breathwork, and intention to support overall health and well-being. It integrates art, science, and sound as a profound pathway to achieving wholeness, vitality, and deep inner peace.

Scientific research over recent decades has increasingly validated what ancient cultures and traditions have long understood: the transformative power of sound. Studies demonstrate its positive effects on anxiety, stress reduction, depression, and many other dimensions of well-being—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Sound immersion is now widely recognized as a valuable and effective complement to conventional medical and mental health care, helping restore balance and harmony within individuals.

Each Sound Journey features a carefully curated soundscape of resonant instruments, each intentionally chosen for its unique healing frequencies.

These instruments are artistically blended to create a soothing, restorative, and therapeutic experience that promotes deep relaxation, stress relief, inner peace, and more.

Participants typically lie down or sit comfortably while the practitioner guides them through a meditative journey utilizing instruments such as:

- - resonant tones of my beloved crystal singing bowls,
  - ancient vibrations of Himalayan metal bowls (incl a majestic standing brass bowl you can step into, feeling its powerful resonance rise into your body through your feet)
  - the grounding pulse of Chinese gongs,
  - the grounding rhythms of shamanic drums,
  - the soothing waves of an ocean drum,
  - the ethereal melodies of chimes,
  - the meditative and mystical monochord,
  - and more!

Step into a sanctuary of sound where healing vibrations envelop you in a transformative, deeply meditative experience.

How It Works

Sound frequencies facilitate profound relaxation and potentiate healing by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system and inducing brainwave entrainment. Entrainment occurs when fluctuating brainwaves synchronize with a stable external frequency, guiding the mind into a coherent state of calm and clarity. This process not only releases tension but also clears blocked energy and emotions that may underlie mental, emotional, or physical challenges. Revitalizing energy emerges and flows naturally, restoring balance and harmony to your body’s natural, healthy vibrational state—your true nature.

A Professional and Trauma-Informed Approach

The Sound Journeys I offer are grounded in rigorous study, dedicated practice, and ongoing professional training to ensure the most effective and meaningful experiences for participants.

My approach is trauma-informed and draws upon over a decade of experience offering mindfulness training and programs in schools and communities. These foundational practices guide every aspect of my Sound Journeys, creating a safe, intentional space where participants can experience genuine relaxation, healing, and transformation.
