What is sound therapy?

Sound therapy harnesses the therapeutic power of sound.  It utilises carefully chosen instruments and voice combined with self-reflection techniques to promote improved health and wellbeing.

What is a sound bath?

Sound baths are extremely effective in encouraging greater relaxation and releasing tension.

You don’t have to do anything other than get comfy, listen and be led by the sounds. For most people, it is an effective and easy way to enter a deeply meditative state.

Attendees describe the experience as ‘mind-emptying’ rather than mindful, saying that after a session, your brain actually feels clear and light.

The sounds are completely enveloping; like a sonic massage, but without being touched. 

During a session, your dominant brainwave frequencies are lowered.  When the mind enters this state, the body responds by going into ‘repair-mode’: boosting neurotransmitters, flushing out cortisol and enhancing the immune system.

There is a healthy amount of research around sound healing.  It has been shown to be effective in decreasing stress and anxiety.  It has also been proven to be extremely effective at lowering heart rate and blood pressure.

Sound Tonic Sound Baths are facilitated by Sally Blyth, a fully-qualified Sound Practitioner (British Academy of Sound Therapy) with over 14 years’ experience in therapeutic sound and over 35 years as a musician.  During a Sound Tonic Sound bath, Sally uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, voice and some gentle percussion.
