Frequently AskedQuestions
about Soul Space Wellness
What is Sound Healing?
​
Sound healing is the use of various instruments to create tones and vibrations that bring balance and healing to the body, mind and soul. These frequencies can promote deep relaxation, increase balance in the nervous system and provide emotional release. Our bodies instinctively want to heal and achieve balance, so sound healing is an extremely effective way to remind the body of its most harmonious state. In my practice I use crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and other instruments.
​
What is Reiki/Energy Work?
​
Reiki is a holistic therapy that uses a practitioner’s hands to guide energy through the body to promote healing and balance. It can help clear stagnant energy and make space for the energy that you truly need, as well as help you connect to your intuition and gain clarity. Reiki is typically done a few inches above the body, so generally there is no direct contact during this therapy. Reiki is extremely gentle, yet effective.
​
​
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a group sound healing experience using the intentional blend of sounds, vibrations and frequencies from various instruments to restore your body to its natural state of harmony. Lying comfortably on a yoga mat, with an optional blanket and pillow, your body can relax and be nourished as you’re “bathed” in sound. Sound baths are a gentle yet powerful experience and are extremely restorative for your whole being. You can come and be with a community of like-minded people or experience the sound bath with a friend or family member.
​
Who can benefit from Sound Healing & Energy Work?
Anyone! Whether you’re looking to expand and amplify the good things happening in your life or face some of the more challenging aspects, my sessions will always meet you right where you are.
Please note that I only see clients under 18-years-old on a case-by-case basis, with prior discussion before scheduling.
​
What should I expect during a session?
Each and every appointment is unique and personalized for you in the moment, integrating both Reiki and sound healing with many different instruments. Most people feel a deep sense of relaxation and lightness. You may connect with your intuition or guides and find clarity on issues that need your attention. Feelings of vibration, tingling, cooling or warming through the body are also common, as well as people seeing colors in their mind’s eye.
Everyone's experience will be different and even your own experience will vary from session to session. There is no right or wrong way to experience this kind of healing and my practice is always a safe space to ask questions either during or after a session.
​
​
What should I wear?
​
Please dress comfortably whether you’re attending a one-on-one session or a sound bath. Clients remain clothed and lie comfortably on a massage table, with an optional blanket during a one-on-one session and will lie on a yoga mat during a sound bath.
​
​
Do I need to share what’s going on in my life to have a successful session?
Absolutely not. While I always appreciate knowing what brought you in, it’s not at all required. I work intuitively with your energy system and always provide a safe and judgment-free space for you to heal and grow. I never have an agenda or fixed outcome in mind, rather I hold space for you and assist in your journey. You are always in control.
​
What should I expect after a session?
At the very least, expect to feel a deep sense of relaxation and lightness. I always tell clients that just because the session is over, it doesn’t mean that the work is done. Often over the course of a few days after a session, you may continue to release energy and might find yourself reflecting on and releasing old habits or wounds. It is also always a good idea to keep hydrated and have a lot of grace and compassion for yourself.
​
How often should I come in?
As often as it feels right for you. My integrative work can help amplify the good things in your life and gain answers or relief for the more challenging aspects, so it’s always here to meet you when you’re ready for it.
​
Coming in on a monthly basis is a wonderful way to stay connected to your needs and to use sound healing as a maintenance modality for your whole being.
