We want to emphasize that our pricing for services has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the true value of the work we provide. We have always strived to offer competitive and fair pricing that accurately represents the quality and expertise you can expect from us.

Whats the difference between beginner’s class and regular sound bath class?

If you are new to sound bath meditation’s//meditation practices in general, we require you to take the beginner’s class. Beginner’s class consists of a more in depth explanation of what a sound bath is and what to expect during the practice, followed by a 45 minute sound bath. Our regular sound bath classes focus on different themes each week, furthering your mindfulness practice without the intro explanation. This allows clients to learn more ways to help regulate their nervous systems day to day, not just in class. Regular classes consist of 60 minute sound baths.

can a sound bath be dangerous?

No, sound bath’s are not dangerous. the frequencies of the sounds produced during the sessions are not damaging to your hearing at all. for some people, the sounds produced might create panic or cause sadness. This normally happens as the sounds and vibrations unlock emotions buried deep within your consciousness. no need to be worried, just relax and acknowledge the emotions.

how often should i go to sound bath?

2+ sessions per month are recommended. However, if you are experiencing emotional, physical or mental challenges that need to be addressed, then weekly sessions are better. Also, if you are just starting out, then go for 4 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Many of our clients choose to attend a session every week as a midweek recharge & reset.

It’s best if you have regular sessions rather than occasional ones. That’s because regular sessions offer more long-term benefits.

Will it make me feel weird?

Some clients may be discouraged or confused when anxiety, anger, grief, shame, and terror become present during a sound bath session. Although this is uncomfortable, we reassure our clients that their nervous system is beginning to experience safety in healing. Suppressed feelings, sensations and emotions of the body and the mind will make their way to the present. This is because your nervous system believes that you have the safety, support, tools and capacity to finally face and process what you’ve been avoiding. The body needs to feel in order to heal. If you ever feel overwhelmed and need a moment you are always welcome to quietly excuse yourself and head to the bathroom across the hall. Know that anything you feel during a sound bath session is completely normal and encouraged, you are in a safe place.

can i leave my materials at bath house?

At this time we do not have a place for clients to store their own materials week after week. You are always welcome to bring your materials to each class but you may not leave them behind. Any materials left behind will have a 1 week grace period to be picked back up, anything left more than 1 week will be donated.

Is there any research on sound bath mediations?

Yes! We highly recommend doing your own research, here are some of our favorite links:

If you examine our cellular makeup under a microscope, every single particle of our physical body is vibrating at varying frequencies. At a physical energetic and cellular level, sound healing can restore our vibration to a state of harmony. A recent study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that hour-long sound meditations help to reduce tension, anger, and anxiety, and increase spiritual well-being.

There has also been much fascinating research into the effects of sound meditation on the brain, particularly binaural beats in the treatment of anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. Binaural beats are when two different sounds are played in each ear which the brain integrates. A process known as ‘entrainment’ synchronizes our brainwaves and provides a stable frequency that produces a hypnotic, trance-like rhythm. It drops us into deeper, slower brainwave patterns, providing a vehicle for us to access our deeper brainwave states, promoting deep meditation and eliciting the body’s natural healing capacity. These slower brainwaves are called Theta waves and during each sound bath we attempt to “drop into theta”.
