find your balance with sound

In 2021 I suffered two strokes. Whilst I was in hospital, I recalled a lecture that I had attended 20 years earlier at the Cheltenham Science Festival whilst I was studying Music Production. The lecture was by neuroscientist, and cognitive psychologist Daniel Levitin who studied the effect that listening to music has on our brains. One of the things that stuck in my mind was that when we listen to new or unfamiliar music, our brains create new neural pathways, and I as had just suffered brain damage from the stroke, I decided that was what I needed to do! And so began my passion about how music and sound can have positive benefits to our physical, emotional, mental & our spiritual state, leading to my becoming a fully qualified Sound Therapist with the International Sound Healing Academy.

We all know of the positive effects that listening to music has on us. When we distill music & sound down to its essential elements it can become therapeutic, bringing about deep relaxation, stress reduction, clarity of thought, and is an effective enabler for self-healing. I bring together music psychology, the science of sound, elements of traditional Tibetan methods from Suren Shrestha, Deep listening practice & Integral Sound Healing techniques to create my bespoke treatments.

Sound sessions are held on Thursday early evenings, & Saturday after the salon’s other appointments are finished for the day to ensure a safe, calm and quiet space.
