Sound Healing
Kids Yoga Teacher Training
Sound Healing
Sound Bath with Brittany
Sound healing, or vibration therapy, is an ancient practice and holistic approach to health that harnesses the power of sound and vibration to facilitate mental, physical, and spiritual healing. In a sound bath, participants are 'bathed in sound,' which not only facilitates deep relaxation, but also neurohormonal system rebalancing, energy cleansing, and emotional release through the physiological effects of sound waves. Our bodies, being primarily water, act as conduits for these vibrations, strengthening them and initiating a natural healing process from the cellular level.
