About a Sound Journey
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.
[*Aka sound bath, sound meditation, sound bath meditation, sound healing, sound medicine.]
Through the harmonious fusion of artistry, science, and sound energy, you will embark on a profound journey toward 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.
How Sound 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.
Therapeutic Sound Instruments
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:
-
-
- crystal singing bowls,
- Himalayan bronze sound bowls
- gongs,
- shamanic drums,
- ocean drum,
- tongue drum
- various chimes,
- monochord,
- standing sound bowl (step into, feeling its powerful resonance rise into your body through your feet)
Step into a sanctuary of sound where healing vibrations envelop you in a transformative, deeply meditative experience.

“YOUniversity” Enrichment Classes
Our classes may stand alone as an immersive Sound Journey, but more often, we enrich the experience with a thoughtfully chosen theme to explore before the Sound Journey. This holistic approach deepens your experience, making it more meaningful and impactful for personal growth and self-care.
The practices and principles introduced provide opportunities for self-discovery, reflection, and intention-setting.
Complementary practices may include:
-
-
- Mindful awareness principles and practices
- Breathwork
- Vocal toning
- Creative exploration through art, movement, rhythm, or voice
- Reflective journaling for fostering integration and personal insight
-
Follow-up discussions allow space for sharing personal insights, asking questions, and connecting with others. These moments of reflection help us recognize our commonalities and remind us that we are not alone in our journey.
The best part? These takeaways can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, supporting you in navigating challenges with greater ease and transforming your life into harmony with your true nature.
The Sound Journey then follows, serving as a powerful integration of the lessons, practices, and discussions—helping you embody and deepen the experience on a much deeper level.
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 nearly two decades of training and professional experiences offering mindfulness training and programs in schools and communities.
These foundational practices guide every aspect of my Sound Journeys, creating a safe, intentional, therapeutic space where participants can experience genuine relaxation, healing, and transformation.
