questions & answers

You are the healer; I am the facilitator. Trust that each session will be exactly what it's meant to be for you; we are working with your innate divine intelligence and you and I have no control over your experience or outcomes; this is a big lesson in trust, surrender and acceptance.

Sound healing is an incredibly powerful, safe and accessible healing modality.

Sound healing works at a deep cellular level, while also extending out into your 

bio-energy field and beyond; it is healing both within and without. 

Working with a variety of sacred sound healing tools, sound healing can:

• Balance your Autonomic Nervous System
• Boost your immune system
• Positively shift your brainwave state and frequency
• Shift suppressed and repressed emotions and traumas for processing and integration, and
• Balance your bio-energy field, creating wellness across all levels of being

Sound achieves this through activating:

• Frequency Following Response (FFR)
• Sympathetic Resonance
• Brainwave Entrainment, and
• Left / Right Brain Hemisphere balance

Expect Nothing; Welcome Everything. This is my mantra for our sessions.

As far as a process, prior to a session, you and I will connect and you will complete an intake form, either prior to our session, or at the beginning of our first session.

In a Good Vibes healing session, I work with a 10 step process to facilitate a full and complete healing session with you.

We start by chatting (sound boarding) about you, where you're at and explore any change, healing or transformation you are seeking through our sessions.

Intention is a key part of this healing process, as inspired by Jonathan Goldman - Intent + Frequency = Healing. We work to create your healing intention for our sessions, prior to working with any sounds. This is a crucial step and we can sometimes spend a bit of time on this to ensure it's 'just right' for you.

Once we've had our initial chat and you have your intention for change, healing or transformation, you will be invited into the room and onto the table. Here we will go through a short relaxation and visualisation process, connected to your intention. During this I will introduce some healing sounds and hands on touch, if permitted, to support this process.

You're then invited to let everything go, to relax, surrender, be open and receive the healing sounds; I invite 'deep listening' from you throughout our session - listening not just with your ears, but your entire body and being.

Using a single instrument, I will do a bio-energy field assessment to further guide our session. 

I will then work with a variety of instruments in, around and, if permitted, on your body, to facilitate healing. These instruments do include the intentional use of silence. Silence is as important as sound, as it allows for processing, integration and wisdom to arise. 

Lastly, we'll spend a little time together in reflection and I will offer some recommendations for some sound related self-care practices you can incorporate into your daily life, to empower you to continue and facilitate your own healing. 

A variety of sacred sound healing tools / instruments are on offer. The most appropriate tools will be chosen at our session. These can include:

• Tibetan Singing Bowls
• Crystal Singing Bowls
• Tuning Forks (harmonic spectrum, brain, OM & otto set)
• Gong
• Drum (shamanic & ocean)
• Rattles, rain sticks & shakers
• Ting Shas
• Chimes
• Harmony ball
• Voice
• Silence

Not at all. Just come along as you are.

If journalling is your thing, you may want to bring a journal along to support your own post session reflection, processing & integration.

Sound Healing is non-invasive and very low risk however, as with any form of treatment, there are contraindications and considerations. We will discuss these in more detail at your first session.

If you experience Sound Induced Epilepsy, sound healing is not a recommended modality for you.

I am not NDIS registered however, if you are self-managed or managed by an intermediary, there will be no barrier and we will be able to work together through your NDIS plan.

I studied through the Internationally renowned and recognised Sound Healing Academy and with Sally Hutchison of Sound Healing Journeys.

Some recommended watching includes:

• Psychedelica: Season 1 Episode 13 on Gaia - I love this episode and I feel you will too
• Sound Healing Global Summit on the Shift Network - this is an incredible annual gathering of leaders present and emerging, in the field of sound healing
• Sound of Creation on Gaia - I'm not too far into this series, but it's been very interesting so far

Some recommended readings include:

• The Seven Secrets of Sound Healing by Jonathan Goldman - this is a short, easy and accessible read
• The Healing Power of Sound: Recovery from Life-threatening Illness using Sound, Voice & Music by Dr Mitchell Gaynor - this is a great read with very powerful evidence of the healing power of sound, as documented by the late and highly respected medical oncologist, Dr Mitchell Gaynor
• Human Tuning: Sound Healing with Tuning Forks by John Beaulieu - an accessible read that will make you fall even deeper in love with the healing potential of tuning forks, and likely make you want to purchase your very own sets 
• Tuning the Human Bio-field: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy by Eileen Day McKusick - a more complex read but absolutely mind blowing and paradigm shifting. I will reread this one many times

Celebrate:

• World Sound Healing Day - February 14 - this is a wonderful way to make a positive contribution to healing with sound. I look forward to resonating with you on this day!
