What to expect in a sound healing session

Sound has been used since the beginning of time to restore balance, harmony and bring about relaxation in the body. There will be a thorough chat at the start to go through the intake form and to determine what you would like to get out of the session, and then we will work with intention and healing instruments to allow the body to relax and release in order to bring about inner transformation and self healing. The frequencies of the instruments can be effectively used both on and off the body, and we will discuss your preference during the intake. The first session is around 90 mins, but please allow for two hours.

Client aftercare information

If you follow these guidelines, the sound healing process will have a deeper and longer lasting effect.

An initial program of three or four sessions is recommended for the healing process to be most effective. However, you may find that a longer or shorter course of treatments will work best for you. I can discuss this with you at the time of treatment. A single session can also be extremely effective at releasing and addressing deep issues.

If you feel ungrounded at the end of a sound healing session, try eating or drinking something. Please do not drive or operate heavy machinery after the treatment if you feel ungrounded.

Following the sound healing session, it’s best to take it easy, rest, relax, go for a walk and avoid stressful situations.

When you get home, if possible have a bath or a shower as the water will allow the sounds to sink in deeper and last longer.

Please avoid red meat, alcohol, or any chemical toxins for the next 24 hours. Please drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated and allow any toxins released by the sound healing to be flushed from the body.

There are no officially recognized side effects of sound healing.

Sometimes, complementary therapy can cause a healing reaction. During or after the sound healing session, you may experience worsening symptoms before they get better. In the unlikely event that a healing reaction does happen, you can contact me to discuss this matter. If you feel the situation needs closer attention you should contact your doctor/physician. If you need immediate medical care, you should not hesitate to contact a medical professional.

I will give you recommendations for self-care to be done in between the sound healing sessions and/or at the end of a course of treatments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Are there any contraindications?

Sound healing is a very nourishing and nurturing healing modality. With permission, sound healing instruments can be used both on and off the body, and there are certain conditions that are not suitable for this form of treatment. If in any doubt, please check with a medical professional before attending a session.

We advise you to seek advice from a medical practitioner before a session if you are pregnant, wear a pacemaker or other cardiac or brain implants, are photosensitive, have a serious mental disorder, or are under the influence of medication. It is contraindicated for people prone to seizures or epilepsy, especially a rare form of sound induced epilepsy. You are not recommended to drive a car or operate heavy equipment after a session unless you feel fully awake, present and grounded.

Other diagnosed medical conditions: People with diagnosed medical conditions not covered above should check with their doctor before receiving sound healing ON the body.

What should I wear?

Please make sure that you are comfortable and warm. Your temperature can drop during a session, so please bring warm socks, and soft clothing such as jersey trousers or leggings. You are welcome to bring your own eye mask, but I do have some available here if you would like to use mine.

What else do I need to know?

Please let me know if you have any sensitivity to scent or touch. I use natural incense and candles, so please let me know before the session if you would prefer me not to burn these prior to your session.

Please note that I am not a medical professional and therefore do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any health problem or disease.
