Therapeutic Sound Healing

Individual Sound Therapy

Have you ever wondered what stressful events like a break up, loss of a loved one, a fight with a friend, a tough day or year at work, or tough relationship are costing you in your body? Well, the answer depends on if you're allowing yourself to fully feel and process your emotions beyond just thinking about what happened and replaying scenes over and over in your mind (rumination).

​

If you're not really feeling your feelings all the way, the odds are you are decreasing your vitality and stressing out your nervous system. This results in things like - poorer digestion, less sleep or less restful sleep, tight chest and anxiety, depressive thoughts, chronic pain in a region where you're storing your emotions like the left shoulder blade.

​

The more we keep our feelings pinned, the more we expel energy on our sadness, our frustration, our depression, our anger, and any other number of emotions which we're not letting ourselves fully feel.

​

Take a look at the Biofield Anatomy Map and assess if you're feeling pain in any of these areas.

How can sound therapy help?​​​​​

By placing tuning forks and singing bowls on the body and gongs around the body in the biofield, Susanna can work with you in a three-part protocol:

​

1. Grounding and Vitality Increase - We spend time in your Earth Star and Sun Star areas grounding your energy and increasing your vitality. This allows your body to leave fight or flight mode entirely and get centered. You would get the same results with a deep meditation practice.

2. Biofield Combing and Emotional Release - We go through each chakra and area of your Biofield identifying ages of emotional duress, processing those emotions in the body, and releasing tension from these difficult times. As you release these situation and make peace with them, we often find tense areas of your body relax.

3. Chakra Balancing - We then take all this new free energy which is available by releasing old attachments and pull it into your chakras using tuning forks. You will experience and increase in overall vitality, leaving the table feeling ready for the rest of your day.

​​

This three-part protocol is part of every 90-minute sound therapy session and we use various instruments to accomplish the tasks. For clients who are nervous or have trouble relaxing - we use more singing bowls. For clients who are in talk therapy, have been on a healing journey and are intent on addressing specific issues - we use more tuning forks.​

​

How does Susanna know what ages and emotional traumas to process?

During your session, Susanna will ask you if you're comfortable with receiving inspired guidance from Spirit. This involves requesting your own and her guides to provide insight into how you can go forward in life for your own highest good. Most clients are surprised I'm able to identify names and ages of events from early childhood, pets, siblings and exes, as well as specific trying times at work. I might name your former boss, a relative who has moved onto the next realm, or your college girlfriend. As each situation presents itself, Susanna will help you process emotions associated with that experience, so that you can release and increase your vitality.

​

If this is not in your wheelhouse and you want to work therapeutically / for relaxation without guidance, there is no pressure. While this is a core part of my own giftings and how I operate in most sessions, not everyone is comfortable with this type of work and that is perfectly okay.  A pure Nepali sound healing experience with just bowls on the body and no talking is also very relaxing and a good place to start.

​

​

How is this treatment similar to Acupuncture or Reiki?

Acupuncture and sound therapy certainly overlap. However, there are a few distinct differences - sound therapy works around the body in the Biofield addressing past trauma and moving energy back into the body to increase your vitality.

 

Acupuncture uses needles in the body to redirect Qi (energy) which is already in the body but needs to be unstuck. Put simply, sound therapy is great for working through your past stress, trauma, and life events to restore energy expelled during tough times back into the body and creating harmony - chronic conditions are where we shine. Acupuncture is great for treating episodic pain, helping you emotionally release from a tough situation you're in right now, etc. 

​

Worth noting - this is a significant oversimplification and I go to acupuncture myself because healers also need healing. ​

​

Reiki is a little harder to describe because its a practitioner using hands on the body to channel and move energy - no needles or instruments involved. Think of this as the practitioner is the instrument moving energy and it can be used to treat the same types of conditions as acupuncture or sound therapy.

​

Acupuncture, Reiki, and Sound Therapy are very similar and it really just comes down to preference. What works for you? What do you like?

​​

​How Will I Feel After?

Clients say they feel a weight is lifted, their chest is more open, and they are more calm. As work integrates over the 5 days following the session, peace and harmony comes a little more easily.  To learn more about what clients are saying, look at the Google Reviews at the bottom of the page.

How Individual Sound Therapy Differs from a Sound Bath?

While sound baths offer general relaxation in a group setting, individual sound therapy is a fully personalized experience. Throughout the session, we respond to your unique energetic and emotional cues—such as physical sensations, colors or visuals, or thoughts that arise. We adapt our use of tuning forks and singing bowls in real time, offering targeted support to help you release stored emotional patterns and physical stress.

Think of it like the difference between a group yoga class and a private session—this experience is entirely centered on you.
