Your Sound Therapy Questions Answered

My Soundbaths consist of multiple instruments being played such as Himalayan Bowls, Gongs, Drums and Crystal bowls. They are played in a therapeutic manner in order to relax the body, calm the mind, and ignite inner awareness. Participants are welcome to find a position that is most comfortable for them and your experience.

To get the most out of your sound bath experience, invite yourself to relax in your own comfortable position laying on the floor, seated or to use a chair, then to simply listen to the sounds and stay present with what is felt during your experience.

ASC stands for Altered State of Consciousness. An altered state of consciousness refers to any state of awareness that is different from the ordinary waking state. In an altered state of consciousness, individuals may experience changes in perception, cognition, memory, and sense of self.

Sound therapy can support the induction and experience of altered states of consciousness (ASC) through various mechanisms:

I am extremely mindful of how I play and the environment we are in (acoustics etc.) My sound bath events are played within safe volume levels and I periodically measure our volume to ensure this. Please ensure you fill the health questionnaire prior to attending your event to allow me to support you in the best way possible and to bring any particular ailments to my attention. Please also feel free to chat to me prior to the event starting.

“Soundbaths” and “Sound Therapy” are often used to describe a similar experience. In general, a “Soundbath” describes group events where I play musical instruments for the purpose of relaxation. “Sound Therapy” is more often used to describe a private session using musical instruments played on or around the body. 

I have had many pregnant women attend my events over the past 7 years.  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health advises that pregnant women avoid routine exposure to noise louder than 115 decibels, and our sound baths are well below this level and are within a safe volume range (as I measure!).  However, every pregnancy is different and there is not much scientific research regarding sound and pregnancy.

I do not place any bowls or other instruments directly on people during our events unless specified and received prior consent. I recommend pregnant women consult their physician/midwife prior to attending a sound bath event with me. Once physicians/midwifes clearance is obtained, pregnant women are welcome at our sound bath events. Bring an additional pillow or two so you can lay or sit comfortably on your side (laying on your back is not advised after the first trimester, however listen to what your body needs as you know your body and baby better than anyone).

I advise wearing comfortable clothes, and dressing in layers in case you get hot or cold. I also advise not to have a heavy meal prior to your treatment so you are as comfortable as possible.

Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, a pillow, a small throw or personal size blanket.
Eye marks, Warm drinks or a hot water bottle if desired. (At your own risk)
Dress in layers in case you get hot/cold.

Most of my events are restricted to 15-20 people due to my focus on individuals being more personal experience.

I allow up to two minutes for group events and start exactly on time for every event. I use small local business and do not have a manned reception area. The door opens right into the sound bath area, and late arrivals would be extremely disruptive to people inside. Arrival time is 15 minutes before the event begins. Please DO NOT KNOCK on the door if you are late.

I require advanced registration for all events to ensure I can support you as best as I can. I have a maximum capacity and all events are often sold out.

Please confirm your non-attendance at least 48hours prior to your session so I am able to fill your space from the waiting list. You are also welcome to give or sell your ticket to another person if you cannot make the event you have a ticket for. I will offer only ONE transfer for a different Soundbath event for the consecutive month.

I pride myself on my sessions being as inclusive as possible, so I don’t offer age restrictions on my event sessions, however I do ask you to make conscious effort to understand that your young person or child will not cause any disruption for others, or for you to select the right event for your need. Please contact me if you have any questions reference to this.

I allow photos or recording (audio or video) at my events. I ask that you respect others privacy and to receive consent if you are taking pictures of other attendees. Please ensure you credit Signature Sound Therapies properly at @signaturesoundtherapies

Apologies that you didn’t make it to the event you had tickets for! Due to the limited amount of tickets I have available at each event I cannot offer refunds or “make up sessions” for late arrivals or missed events.
