SOUND THERAPY | Individual 1:1 Consultation

The session begins with an intake discussion, where Erin takes a general health and wellbeing history to ensure the session is tailored to your needs. This includes exploring your main goal for the session and co-creating a personal intention that aims to anchor you more deeply into the experience of the session. 

The sounds of specific instruments, voice, energy medicine and other supportive tools are used to further assess and balance the energy field. These approaches also aim to facilitate the release, transformation, and integration of any suppressed emotion. 

These techniques are applied on and off the body, whilst lying on a massage table. The goal here is to bring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. Silence, sound, meditation and breathwork are used to support compassionate introspection, facilitating new patterns of health and wellbeing to emerge. 

There is an opportunity to reflect on and share the experience of the session. Erin will share the main balances that occurred in the session, to support you developing personal meaning relating to your focused intention. 

Erin may also recommend ‘take-home’ practices to further empower you to deepen and integrate the effects of the session, tailoring this to your needs and your intention.  These may include a range of breathwork, meditation, and reflective practices.

• Supports coming quickly into a state of mindfulness and deep relaxation, nourishing our nervous system.

• Provides breathwork and meditation tools to use in your everyday life to support your health and wellbeing.

• Reduces indications of stress in the body, supporting physical health.

• Facilitates balance on a physical, emotional, mental and energetic level.

• Provides an opportunity for inner contemplation that can increase connection with ourselves and others.

• Supports the integration of left and right hemispheres of the brain, which can help with more focused, clear thinking and emotional regulation.

• Blanket

• Weighted eye pillow or something to place over your eyes to support relaxation

• Pregnancy – Women can receive sound in the second and third trimester of pregnancy from a distance of 2 or more metres and breathwork practices can be adjusted. It is recommended women refrain from all sound healing in the first trimester of pregnancy
