Frequently Asked Questions

Sacred Sound Healing Group
Do I sit or lie down?

You’re welcome to either sit or lie down, whichever feels most comfortable and supportive for your body. Many people choose to lie down to fully relax and receive the healing sounds, while others prefer to sit upright for better alertness or ease.

Chairs are available in the studio if sitting is more comfortable for you. Use cushions, bolsters, or blankets provided to create your own cozy setup.

You’re also free to adjust your position at any time during the session. Move freely to find a posture that continues to support your experience.

What do I need to bring?

All bookings include a Sound Healing mat, blankets and cushions, however, you are welcome to bring your own, and anything else that may help you relax, ie an eye mask, your favourite crystals.

What do I wear?

Wear something comfortable and warm. Even though the room is kept warm,  the body temperature often fluctuates during healing. 

Do I have to introduce myself to the group before the session?

No. As soon as we get settled, we will start the healing work.

Can I bring my baby/toddler to a weekly public group?

To fully relax and receive the deepest benefits of sound healing, it’s best to attend without your baby, as babies are naturally sensitive to certain sounds and may become unsettled during the session. This can make it harder for you to feel calm and supported throughout the experience.

If you’d like to experience sound healing with your baby nearby, a private group session is a wonderful option. In these sessions, babies can move freely in a space while you, your family, and friends receive healing in a supportive, calm environment tailored to your needs. I have facilitated many such sessions with wonderful results.

Is it like a Sharing Circle?

No. There is no expectation for you to share your experience/thoughts with the group. But if you would like to do so, you can at the end of the session. Feel free to stay behind to have a chat with me in private.

What if I start crying or feel emotional?

This is a non-judgmental space. Whatever you experience is welcome and valid.
We release a lot through our tears, so if they arise, allow them to flow.

Feeling emotional is a sign that something is shifting within you. The invitation is to stay with your breath and allow the sensations to move through you, without needing to analyze them. Sound and vibration work through your energy field and into your physical body, dissolving energetic stagnation and blockages where unprocessed emotions are often stored.

As your body responds to these healing vibrations, emotions may rise to the surface to be released. This may happen during the session or even 2–3 days afterward. It’s completely normal and will ease with time.

If at any point during the session you feel the need to take a break, whether to sit up, move, or have a drink, you are absolutely welcome to do so. This is your time and space to rest and heal in a way that feels right for you.

Do I still receive the benefits if I fall asleep during the session?

Absolutely YES. When we are asleep or close to falling asleep, our busy mind is taking a break. The body’s innate healing ability is maximised.

What if my mind never stops during the session?

You are still receiving the benefits.
Even if your mind feels busy during the session, the healing vibrations are still working on a deeper level, beyond the thinking mind. If you’re someone whose mind is often active, it might take a little time to settle, but that’s completely okay.

I often use this analogy: like a therapeutic massage, when a practitioner works on sore, tight muscles, you may notice discomfort during the process, but you find relief afterwards. Similarly, sometimes what we want to let go of feels more intense during healing, but this is part of the release.

With regular practice, it becomes easier to rest into stillness, even if only for a moment at a time. You don’t need a quiet mind to receive deep healing.

I am a little bit of scared of group stuff

Even though this is a group session, your experience is completely your own. There are no judgments or expectations. Everyone is warmly welcome to join and receive healing in their own way.

If you’re feeling a bit nervous or unsure, you’re very welcome to arrive early to have a chat with me and get comfortable with the studio space. Many people find that this helps ease any worries.

My healing studio is a space created to support you just as you are, at your own pace.

So what actually happens during the session?

After a short guided meditation to help you settle in, you will begin to hear chanting and the soothing sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. I am fully guided by my intuition throughout the session, allowing healing vibrations to flow naturally and respond to the energy present. The session concludes with the deep, resonant sound of the Wind Gong followed by the singing of Sanskrit mantras, bringing a sense of closure and grounding.

With over 9 years of experience as a facilitator and a trauma-informed approach, I create a supportive shared space where healing can unfold gently and respectfully. After the session, I’ll share any observations that may support your understanding of your experience and ongoing healing.

Is it pregnancy-friendly?

Yes, the soothing sounds of singing bowls are known to help ease discomfort during pregnancy and labour pains. Regular self-care is especially important for a healthy pregnancy. Please feel free to bring extra cushions or props to support your body and baby comfortably during the session.

Is it suitable for kids?

Yes, children are welcome as long as they are willing to attend and feel comfortable being in a quiet group setting for about 60 minutes. Please note that kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

How would I feel afterwards?

A lot of my clients report that they feel deeply relaxed and grounded after a session. You might notice a reduction in physical pain, less anxiety, or a sense of lightness and calm.

It’s important to know that your body and nervous system continue to process the healing vibrations for several days afterward. During this time, you may experience shifts in emotions or sensations—this is a natural part of the release and integration process.

Be gentle with yourself, honor whatever comes up, and remember to stay well hydrated to support your body’s healing.
