Vibrational Sound Therapy
What is Vibrational Sound Therapy a.k.a. Sound Healing?
Vibrational Sound Therapy (VST) blends vibration and sound to induce a relaxed state in the mind and body. Therapeutic singing bowls are placed directly on the body or around the body, and struck using an intentional and measured technique.
How do sound + vibration impact relaxation?
Vibration and sound are constants in our universe and daily lives. When our minds are acutely tuned to tones or combinations of tones, our conscious brain state can be calmed more quickly and efficiently than with meditation alone. Prompt and deep relaxation can be accomplished, which is often beyond our reach with our stressful modern lives.
What happens during a Vibrational Sound Healing session?
Singing bowls are placed on the body and or the treatment table. Sound is made through striking the singing bowls in a consistent and measured technique. Clients receive benefit from bowls place on and/or off the body. There is little or no talking during a sound healing session.

Sound Baths
What is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is an improvised concert designed to provide an environment where energy that is no longer needed can be released, shifting the mind, body and spirit into a deeply relaxed state of being. Participants are bathed in powerful vibrations that help entrain their brain waves into Theta. It is in this deeply relaxed state that physical, mental + spiritual healing can take place, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, cellular regeneration, stress release + emotional/physical healing.
Participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Stephanie plays the Chakra-attuned Crystal Bowls + Himalayan Singing Bowls, planetary gong, chau gong, wave drum, tingsha chimes and + Koshi Chimes. Many people have reported physical healing, and often experience a night of deep rejuvenating sleep after the sound bath. Please bring anything that you may need to feel comfortable lying on the floor for the savasana. Blankets, pillows, yoga mats, eye masks, etc. are welcome and encouraged. Wear comfortable clothing and please be hydrated before and after a Soundbath.
What is Brain Entrainment?
Brain Wave Entrainment is any procedure that causes one's brainwave frequencies to synchronize with a periodic stimulus (sound, vibration or light) having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce a trance, dreams, sleep or relaxation.) ~Source: Huffington Post

Post Session Care
Recommendations for After for Sound Therapy Session
- First: Drink lots of water.
- Post session, I encourage clients to write down or journal any insights, inspiration, visions, physical/emotional/spiritual sensations or experiences, memories that popped up, etc. that may have come through during our session. This self-reflection can be immensely helpful on your healing/self-care path.
- You may experience drowsiness, tired or lethargy after your session. This is because your brain has shifted to a more relaxed state. On the other hand, you may feel energized. When our mind and body are given the opportunity to reset, we can experience bursts of energy and inspiration. The vibration and shifting of energy can also act as a jump-start to our system.
- If you’ve experience therapeutic bowls on the body, lymphatic fluid has been stimulated. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. It is important to continue to drink water to maintain hydration as toxins are flushed.
- In the hours following a session, you may notice frequent urination, watery eyes, or runny notes. These are all symptoms of waste substances leaving the body. Again, drink water to maintain hydration as toxins are flushed.
- You may experience slight muscle soreness. This is an after-effect of the vibrations and should pass by the next day.
- It may feel different to take up space in your body after a session. I encourage gentle stretching to reacquaint how you occupy space in your recalibrated body. For example, you may stand up straighter or feel lighter in parts of your body.
- After your session, if you are able, continue to relax. To extend relaxation further, stay hydrated, avoid heavy metals, and strenuous activity.
