Join me for a group sound bath

I’m so excited to announce the launch of Sound of Joo—a deeply restorative, evidence-based whole-body listening experience designed to support your body, mind, and soul.

To celebrate this new offering, I’ll be holding two group sound bath sessions on the evening of Sunday, May 18, in a calming, intimate space created with intention and care. Tickets for the first session will be 30% off (CODE: WELCOME30), and as a special thank you, all attendees will receive 20% off a private Sound Therapy session, which will be sent to you after.

Spaces are limited to keep the session intimate and personal, so early booking is recommended!

What is Sound Therapy?

Sound therapy is a full-body listening experience that uses instruments such as tuning forks, singing bowls, gongs, and chimes to create vibrational frequencies that support the body’s natural ability to rest, release, and restore. For thousands of years, from the healing temples of Ancient Greece to the sacred rituals of Tibetan monks, sound has been used as a tool for well-being. Now, modern science is confirming what these traditions have long known: sound can significantly reduce stress hormones like cortisol, stimulate the vagus nerve to activate our parasympathetic “rest and digest” state, and help guide brainwaves into deeply restorative patterns linked to meditation and neuroplasticity.

The effects of sound on the body and mind are grounded in clear physiological mechanisms. Rhythmic frequencies can guide the brain into alpha and theta states, supporting a meditative calm and greater adaptability in the nervous system. Low-frequency sound waves resonate through tissue and muscle, easing tension and encouraging circulation. Harmonic tones interact with the brain’s emotional centers, soothing hypervigilance and creating a sense of inner safety. And when layered thoughtfully, sound acts as a sensory integrator, helping regulate the autonomic nervous system—especially in those experiencing chronic stress or pain.

As a Trauma-Informed Health Coach trained by the College of Naturopathic Medicine, and someone with lived experience of chronic stress and pain, this work is deeply personal to me. I’ve created Sound of Joo as a sanctuary for those seeking calm and a moment to simply be. Whether you’re a busy parent carrying the emotional and mental load of everyone else, someone feeling overstimulated and stuck in survival mode, or navigating the weight of chronic illness, pain, or burnout—this space is for you.

Every detail has been curated with intention. From the futons to the soft blankets, the naturally scented candles to the carefully selected instruments, this is a space designed to hold you. It’s a place where sensitive, intuitive souls can feel seen, where rest is not a luxury but a necessity, and where healing doesn’t ask anything from you in return.

Please note that while sound therapy is gentle and non-invasive, it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a pacemaker or electronic implant, severe tinnitus, a cochlear implant, epilepsy, or sound-triggered anxiety, I recommend checking with your doctor before booking. And of course, I’m always happy to chat—just drop me a message if you’re unsure.

I’d be honoured to welcome you to this opening event. Let sound meet you exactly where you are, and gently guide you back to yourself.

The first group sessions take place, 5pm-6pm and 7pm-8pm on Sunday, May 18. Use code WELCOME30 for 30% off tickets, and all guests will receive a 20% discount code for a private sound bath session after attending. Spaces are limited to maintain a calm, personal and nurturing experience.

I am looking forward to welcoming you to Sound of Joo!
