Sound Healing Sessions

Sound Healing Sessions in Cedar Rapids, IA

For many years, spiritual healers in Tibet, Nepal, and India have used handmade singing bowls to bring the body back into balance. The idea is to use the power of sound to re-align ourselves with our Divine nature. In truth, the Himalayan singing bowls I play are unique and beautiful. Each of my bowls was handmade in the Himalayans during ritualistic ceremonies. They are made by families who have participated in this spiritual work for centuries. Every bowl is unique in appearance and has its own special sound. Because the bowls are created during hours of chanting and prayer, they carry their own remarkable energy.

In addition to working with Himalayan singing bowls, I also work with a variety of instruments including chimes, monochord, drum, and more. The goal of each sound healing session is to initiate deep relaxation and healing on the energetic and soul level. Sessions available include 1:1 sound healing sessions and group sound healing meditations. To book a sound healing session in Cedar Rapids, IA, please visit my booking site.

What Can Sound Healing Sessions Address?

Because of the combination of frequency/vibration and intention, sound healing sessions often assist with a variety of concerns including:
  • Mental and emotional balance
  • Processing grief and trauma
  • Deep relaxation and stress relief
  • Balance and restoration
  • Chakra and aura clearing
  • Physical health improvements
The vibrations produced during a sound healing session can help lower blood pressure, reduce pain, improve circulation, promote better sleep, clear energetic blockages, improve focus, and promote a sense of overall well-being.

What Does a Typical Session Look Like?

During your sound healing session, you will lie down on my comfortable massage table. Bowls will be placed and played around you and on you, which creates a calming, peaceful, and relaxing experience. 

Because our bodies are made mostly of water, the vibrations from the bowls work with the water in our cells, thus bringing us back into balance.

Many of my clients describe feeling relaxed, calm, and rejuvenated after a sound healing session, which makes it one of my favorite services to offer.

My Journey With the Bowls

I learned the art of singing bowl therapy from Suren Shrestha of the Atma Buti Soul Medicine Sound & Vibrational School in Boulder, CO as well as Maria Dummermuth, certified Atma Buti teacher. I am a certified practitioner through the Atma Buti school. I also completed Level I of the Sound Healing Academy program.

What I love most about the bowls is their ability to impact every person I work with. Some of my clients have said that a singing bowl session is better than a massage. Indeed the vibrations have the ability to sink deep into our bodies and minds.

Group Sound Healing Meditations and Ceremonies

In addition to offering individual sound healing sessions in Cedar Rapids, I offer group sound healing meditations and sound baths. These sessions tend to be ceremonial in nature, which means there's an intention behind the frequencies we are utilizing. Because I am guided by my intuition, group events tend to flow in a way that caters to the needs of those in attendance, however, if you would like to host a sound meditation with a specific purpose or intention(s) in mind, please let me know when booking your event.
