GROUP SOUND BATHS & OTHER OFFERINGS
GROUP SOUND BATH EXPERIENCES $35-$75 (single ticket)
A Group Sound Bath is when you lie down with a bolster, blanket and eye pillow on a cosy mat in the Studio with others and are led through a mesmerising meditative sound journey. The instruments used are therapeutic grade (sourced fair trade) and certified by the Peter Hess institute in Germany. The intention of the Sound Bath is deep relaxation. When your brain hears the soothing sounds it harmonises with the frequency of the sounds and slows down. Your heart rate then slows down as does your breathing. During this relaxed state the load is removed from your nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system can be activated and healing can occur.
Soul Sounds offers different types of Sound Baths:
(1) ‘Nurture’ Sound Bath (limited to 10 guests). This is a therapeutic style deeply restorative, gentle sound bath. The instruments are played as I weave around the room creating an immersive surround sound effect. These are weekly usually on a Wednesday or Thursday night.
(2) New Moon and Full Moon Rituals. The Rituals include breath work, intention setting, sound bath and fire elements. The Rituals are open to groups of 8-10 people and run twice a month aligned with the lunar calendar. The dates are listed on my instagram soulsoundsmassage.
(3) ‘Chime Time’ Sound Bath (limited to 10 guests). This Sound Bath features the Peter Hess Singing Bowls for first half of the Soundscape then features the beautiful clean tones of the ‘Svaram’ Harmonic Chimes (Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Space) for the second half. The Chimes are suspended from the ceiling and played to create a spherical surround sound effect. There are two Chime Time Sound Baths a month on various dates.
(4) ‘Good Vibrations’ Chant and Sound Bath. This event explores the use of our own voices to create vibration. Chanting is an ancient practice that can help us alter our own vibration and connect to ourselves and others. We chant the Miracle Mantra for 21 minutes followed by a deeply relaxing sound meditation where we integrate the new vibrations. This event is run twice a month on Sundays.
Soul Sounds offers Sound Spas to accompany yoga classes, breathwork and other aligned modalities. I can bring the instruments to your practice and set up an immersive experience tailor made to suit the group. Contact me if you are a practitioner interested to collaborate.

CORPORATE WELLNESS PACKAGE
Improve the health of your workforce for corporate success by building positivity in the workplace. Soul Sounds offers Corporate Packages consisting of (1) Tailor Made Mini Retreats designed specifically to meet your wellness objective. Please see examples above. (2) We also offer on site “Sound Clinic” to offer employees the space and time during their work day to rest and repair with one on one sound treatments. This short break from work demands and technology lowers the body’s heart rate, breathing and blood pressure, removes the load off the nervous system and enhances the body’s ability to think clearly, make grounded decisions and to better cope with everyday stress. This enhances productivity and work satisfaction and lowers absenteeism. The treatments can be structured in a series of shorter sessions (approx 15—20mins) yet still provide the same benefits of longer deep relaxation.
IMMERSIVE PUBLIC ART SOUND EXPERIENCES
Applying the scientific principles of sound vibration, Soul Sounds creates interactive experiential public art installations. We are inspired to help reduce the negative impacts of being overly connected to technology and provide full body sensory experiences that ground us and bring us closer to the natural vibration of our earth.
