Sound therapy session

How does
it work?

Sound Therapy uses sound, music and specialist instruments played in therapeutic ways, combined with deep self-reflection techniques to improve health and wellbeing.

The therapeutic sounds are delivered using tonal and rhythmic instruments and voice. Tonal instruments include Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs and tuning forks alongside the Shruti Box and shamanic drum.

Sound Healing can rebalance energy centres and aid in lowering blood pressure, improving circulation and reducing respiratory rates — helping you find inner peace.

Gong Baths

Gongs help our brains reach deep relaxation — specifically the delta and theta brain wave states, the slowest brain waves in humans. This aids relaxation, creativity and natural healing.

A gong bath is a form of sound healing meditation growing in popularity as a modern healing technique. Highly rejuvenating for the body, it brings about an overall sense of relaxation which can reduce stress, help move emotional blockages from trauma, and stimulate altered states of consciousness.

Energy Field
Balancing

The Aura-Field, also known as the Human Energy Field, is the energetic field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body. It reflects your physical, emotional, and spiritual health — and when balanced, supports your overall wellbeing.

At Authentic Self we work with precision-calibrated tuning forks to gently align and harmonise this energetic system. Trained at the esteemed Himalayan Academy of Sound, this approach offers a deeply restorative experience that encourages your body's natural healing ability.

What can
you expect?

During your sound healing session we will look at relaxing the body and mind and rebalancing your energy centres. We start with a full consultation, moving on to grounding healing techniques, full relaxation, and a sense of calm and balance.

Other effects people have noted include relief from stress and tension, greater focus, and a feeling of boosted confidence and energy.

Chris Armstrong — Sound Therapist

Meet your
Therapist

I have a passion for sound, having started my collection of Sound Therapy instruments over 18 years ago in Bali. I added to the collection over the years — each piece of healing equipment has to resonate deeply with myself for me to use it within my practice.

As a Sound Healer, I am qualified to help determine and use different methods to restore Physical, Mental and Spiritual health, granting everyone the chance to access these therapies as a way to manage stress, chronic pain, and anxiety, and to be more rested and at peace.

Rooted in scientifically-backed approaches and with a meditative quality, we can work together to bring a sense of balance to your soul.
