Question 1

What is sound therapy?

Accepted Answer

Sound therapy is a relaxation and wellbeing practice that uses sound vibrations - such as gongs, singing bowls, tuning forks, and chimes  - to help calm the nervous system and encourage deep rest. During a sound therapy session, you don't need to "do" anything; you simply lie down and allow the sounds to wash over you. Many people describe it as meditative, grounding, and deeply relaxing.

Question 2

What happens during a sound therapy session?

Accepted Answer

In a typical sound therapy or gong bath session, you'll lie comfortably on our lambswool mats whilst Caira plays a range of instruments, often including gongs and singing bowls. Time is included at the beginning to settle in and time at the end to gently return to normal awareness.

Question 3

Do I need any experience with meditation or sound healing?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Sound therapy is very accessible, even if you've never meditated before. Many people find sound therapy easier than traditional meditation because sound naturally draws attention and supports relaxation.

Question 4

What should I bring or wear to a sound therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax fully. We recommend bringing a water bottle, and anything that helps make you cosy, such as a light blanket. Mats and eye masks are usually provided, but details will be listed on the session booking page.  If you are attending a one-on-one session, please wear clothing with no zippers and buttons.

Question 5

Is sound therapy safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Sound therapy is generally very gentle and safe for most people. However, if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, have a pacemaker, experience sound-sensitive epilepsy, or have a serious mental health condition, we do not recommend attending a sound therapy session. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to get in touch before booking.

Question 6

How might I feel after a sound therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's experience is different. Some people feel deeply relaxed and calm, others might feel energised or emotionally lighter. It's also normal to feel a bit spaced-out or sleepy afterward. We suggest allowing some quiet time after your session and staying well hydrated.

Question 7

How often should I attend sound therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Some people attend sound therapy as an occasional reset, while others come regularly - weekly or monthly - as part of their wellbeing routine. There's no "right" frequency; it depends on your lifestyle, stress levels, and what you're hoping to get from the sessions.
