Sound Therapy
Tuning Forks
Sound has been used as a healing tool for thousands of years across various cultures. Utilizing sound waves produced by tuning forks is a gentle, non-invasive modality that can offer powerful healing results by promoting balance and restoring the body’s natural harmony.
Benefits of Tuning Forks:
○ Stress relief
○ Relief from chronic pain
○ Promotes healing of soft tissue
○ Alleviates headaches and migraines
○ Improves sleep
○ Supports the brain and nervous system
○ Enhances the function of all body systems
○ Unblocks stuck energy and increases the flow of energy (Prana/Chi)
The tuning forks used in sound therapy are precision-crafted, two-pronged aluminum acoustic resonators that vibrate at a specific pitch when struck. This produces a pure musical tone that is both auditory and vibrational. While we hear sound with our ears, our bodies also sense pressure waves through the skin. These vibrations travel through the body, where they interact with the body’s cells, tissues, and energy fields. This process is known as vibrational medicine.
The scientific basis behind tuning fork therapy lies in the principle of resonance—the law that states that an object or system will naturally vibrate at its specific frequency when exposed to external vibrations at that same frequency. The sound waves produced by the tuning forks interact with the body's own natural frequency, allowing them to resonate with and stimulate the body’s cells and energy fields. This process helps bring the body into harmony, re-establishing balance within the body’s systems.
When the sound waves from the tuning forks meet the body’s frequencies, they stimulate the fascia (connective tissue), nervous system, and energetic pathways, promoting relaxation, reducing pain, and supporting healing on both a physical and energetic level. This resonance effect helps release energy blockages, enhances the flow of energy (Prana/Chi), and recalibrates the body's frequency, facilitating optimal health and well-being.

Offered as a 45-minute treatment with Reiki.
Crystal Singing Bowls
Crystal singing bowls are enchanting instruments made from 99.9% pure quartz crystal. Each bowl is handcrafted and shaped to produce specific tones that generate vibratory frequencies with profound healing potential. The soothing sounds of these bowls possess a deeply meditative quality, helping to relax and balance the body and mind.
When played, the sound waves from crystal singing bowls travel through the air and into the body, initiating a series of beneficial effects. Sound waves affect our cells on a vibrational level. Each cell in the body resonates at its natural frequency, and when a part of the body falls out of balance, it can lead to various ailments, including emotional and physical stress. The frequencies produced by the crystal singing bowls help restore this harmony by promoting healing and re-aligning the body’s natural vibration.
The sound vibrations from crystal singing bowls can influence brain waves, helping to shift from the active, busy Beta waves (associated with stress and anxiety) to more relaxed, meditative states such as Alpha, Theta, and even Delta waves. These brain wave states are linked with deep relaxation, creativity, and restorative sleep. As brain waves shift to these calmer states, the body and mind can enter a profound level of healing, promoting emotional and mental clarity.
Benefits of Crystal Singing Bowls:
○ Quiets the mind and enhances mindfulness
○ Reduces stress and anxiety
○ Lowers heart rate and blood pressure
○ Relieves pain
○ Balances the chakras by clearing energetic blockages
○ Promotes emotional healing and spiritual growth
On Balancing Energies:
Each note produced by the crystal singing bowls corresponds to a specific energy center or chakra in the body. The frequencies of these vibrations help align and balance the body’s energy, promoting overall harmony and healing. The following notes correspond to each chakra:
Root Chakra: C note
Navel Chakra: D note
Solar Plexus Chakra: E note
Heart Chakra: F note
Throat Chakra: G note
Third Eye Chakra: A note
Crown Chakra: B note
These frequencies resonate with the body’s energy centers, creating a sacred space for transformation as stagnant energy is released.
Offered as a private 60-minute treatment. Or contact Laura for private group sound bath bookings.
