Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Offerings

What is Yoga Sound Bath?

Yoga Sound Bath is a place to rest, reconnect with yourself, and explore what becomes possible when you slow down.

We offer immersive sound baths, mindful movement, meditation, and hypnotherapy. Each experience is designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life, release tension, and become more aware of your body, thoughts, and emotions.

Some people come simply to relax. Others are interested in developing greater self-awareness, changing familiar patterns, or building a more meaningful relationship with themselves.

There's room for all of it here.

How does sound healing work?

Sound gives your attention somewhere to rest.

When you're surrounded by the rich, changing tones of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other acoustic instruments, you have an opportunity to step away from constant thinking and become more aware of the present moment.

You might notice your breathing slow, your muscles soften, or your thoughts become quieter. You might experience emotions, memories, or sensations you hadn't been paying attention to. You might simply enjoy listening.

We don't believe there's one particular experience you're supposed to have.

For us, sound is both an invitation to rest and a way to practice paying attention. The immediate experience can be deeply relaxing. Over time, the practice can also help you become more familiar with yourself and how you respond to the world around you.

What kind of yoga do you teach?

Our approach is rooted in slow, mindful Hatha yoga, with an emphasis on somatic awareness, breath, and the experience of movement itself.

Rather than moving quickly from posture to posture, we give you time to explore how your body feels, notice where you're holding tension, and discover movement that feels natural and supportive.

We aren't interested in how a posture looks or how far you can stretch. We're interested in what you experience while you're there.

Many of our classes combine gentle movement with extended periods of rest and live acoustic sound. We also offer more active experiences, including Classic 26 Flow with Sound and occasional specialty classes that incorporate strength, balance, and sustained focus.

Across all our offerings, movement is an opportunity to become more present, rather than another thing to accomplish.

Do I need prior yoga or meditation experience?

Not at all. Everyone is welcome.

You don't need to be flexible, know how to meditate, or have any experience with sound baths. You don't even need to know how to relax.

There's nothing to master, no performance to give, and no particular state you're expected to achieve.

Some days your mind may feel quiet. Other days it may be busy. Both are welcome.

Our experiences are designed to meet you where you are, with opportunities to participate in ways that feel comfortable for your body.

You don't have to be good at this. You just have to show up.

Sessions & Scheduling

How long are your classes and sessions?

Most group sound baths are 60 minutes, although we also offer shorter experiences and extended specialty events. Private sound baths and individual hypnotherapy sessions are typically 75 minutes.

Each experience allows time to settle in, engage with the practice, and gradually return to your day.

What happens during a private sound bath?

Private sound baths offer an opportunity to slow down and explore an experience created specifically for you.

We'll begin with a conversation about what brings you in, how you're feeling, and what you'd like from your time together. From there, your practitioner may incorporate guided meditation, breathwork, somatic awareness, and immersive live sound using crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other acoustic instruments.

Each session unfolds differently. Some people experience deep relaxation, while others notice emotions, physical sensations, or new perspectives. There's no particular response we're looking for and nothing you need to accomplish.

The experience is an opportunity to rest, become more aware of yourself, and explore whatever arises.

Can I bring someone to a private session?

Absolutely. Private sound baths can be shared with a partner, friend, family member, or small group. Additional participants are $55 per person.

Private hypnotherapy sessions are individual experiences, allowing us to focus entirely on your personal goals and the work we're doing together.

Please contact us directly to arrange a multi-person private sound bath, as these sessions cannot currently be booked online.

How do I schedule?

You can book our public classes, events, and available private sessions directly through our website.

If you're interested in a private experience and don't see a time that works for you, please reach out. We're happy to explore scheduling options.

For those interested in ongoing hypnotherapy, we currently maintain a waitlist for new long-term clients. You're welcome to join the waitlist, and we'll be in touch about potential availability.

Sound Baths

What happens during a sound bath?

A sound bath is an opportunity to step away from everyday life and spend time simply listening.

You'll settle comfortably onto a mat, usually lying down, while live acoustic instruments fill the room with rich, changing layers of sound. As you listen, you may notice your body relaxing, your thoughts slowing, or your attention moving toward sensations and feelings you don't ordinarily notice.

Some experiences include gentle guidance or meditation, while others leave more space for quiet listening.

There's nothing you need to do, achieve, or understand. Just come as you are and allow the experience to unfold.

Is the room quiet?

Our studios are peaceful spaces, but they're also part of a living city. Occasionally, you may hear sounds from the building or the streets outside.

Rather than treating these sounds as interruptions, we invite you to include them in the experience. Part of meditation is learning that your surroundings don't have to be perfectly quiet for you to find a sense of calm.

What if I get distracted?

You will. Everyone does.

Your mind might wander to your plans for tomorrow, something that happened earlier in the day, or an unexpected sound outside.

That's completely normal.

The practice isn't about maintaining perfect concentration. It's about noticing when your attention has wandered and gently returning to the sound.

Every return is an opportunity to practice awareness.

What instruments do you use?

Our sound baths feature an extensive collection of acoustic instruments, including crystal singing bowls, large gongs, chimes, bells, handpans, drums, and other instruments chosen for their distinctive sounds and textures.

Each instrument offers something different. Some produce deep, sustained tones you can feel throughout the room. Others create delicate melodies, subtle rhythms, or sounds that gradually emerge and disappear.

Every session is composed in the moment, with attention to the relationships between sound, silence, rhythm, and the overall experience.

No two sound baths are exactly alike.

How is a sound bath different from meditation or yoga nidra?

All three practices invite you to become more aware of your present experience, but they offer different ways of doing so.

Traditional meditation often involves focusing your attention on something like the breath, bodily sensations, or a particular thought or phrase. Yoga nidra typically uses guided instructions to move your awareness through different aspects of your experience.

In a sound bath, the sound itself becomes the primary focus of attention.

Rather than following continuous verbal instructions, you can listen to the changing sounds and notice what happens in your body and mind.

For people who find traditional meditation challenging, sound can offer an accessible and engaging place to begin.

Do I need to understand chakras, frequencies, or energy healing?

Not at all.

You don't need any knowledge of sound healing, meditation, or spiritual traditions to enjoy a sound bath.

We believe the experience speaks for itself. You can appreciate the sound, experience deep relaxation, and develop greater awareness without subscribing to any particular belief system.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of background or experience.

What are the benefits of a sound bath?

People come to sound baths for many reasons, and the benefits can be both immediate and cumulative.

You may experience less physical tension, a quieter mind, improved mood, or a deeper sense of rest. Some people find that the experience helps them unwind before sleep or feel more grounded during stressful periods.

Beyond relaxation, regular practice offers opportunities to develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses.

Over time, that awareness can help you recognize familiar patterns and respond to everyday experiences with greater intention.

We see relaxation as one valuable part of the practice, not necessarily its ultimate purpose.

How will I feel afterward?

Everyone responds differently, and your experience may change from one session to the next.

You might leave feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, emotionally lighter, or more connected to yourself. You might also feel quiet, reflective, energized, or simply grateful for an uninterrupted hour of rest.

Sometimes the experience feels profound. Sometimes it's wonderfully ordinary.

There's no particular way you're supposed to feel, and we encourage you to remain curious about whatever you notice.

What should I wear or bring?

Wear something comfortable that allows you to rest and move freely.

We provide mats, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows, so everything you need will be waiting for you.

You're welcome to bring additional items that make you comfortable, such as warm socks, a favorite blanket, or a personal eye covering.

Should I eat before the session?

We recommend having a light meal or snack beforehand if you're hungry.

You'll be resting for much of the session, so it's generally more comfortable to avoid arriving either very hungry or immediately after a large meal.

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive 5 to 15 minutes before your session. This gives you time to find your space, get comfortable, and settle in before we begin.

To preserve an uninterrupted experience for everyone, doors close promptly at the scheduled start time, and late arrivals cannot be admitted.

Do I have to lie down the entire time?

Not at all.

Most people choose to lie down, but you're welcome to sit, change positions, stretch gently, or make other adjustments that help you remain comfortable.

We encourage you to listen to your body and move quietly and mindfully out of consideration for others.

The goal isn't to remain perfectly still. It's to become more aware of what you need.

Is it normal to fall asleep?

Absolutely. Many people drift in and out of sleep during a sound bath.

There's nothing wrong with falling asleep, and there's no need to resist it.

At the same time, remaining awake gives you an opportunity to notice the subtle changes in your attention, thoughts, and physical sensations.

Neither experience is right or wrong. Rest is welcome here.

What if I feel emotional during the session?

Sometimes, when we slow down and turn our attention inward, we become aware of feelings we haven't had much time to notice.

You might experience sadness, joy, gratitude, frustration, or an emotion that's difficult to name. You might not experience anything particularly emotional at all.

All of these responses are welcome.

There's no need to encourage an emotional release or make sense of everything that arises. You're free to observe your experience, adjust your position, open your eyes, or take a break whenever you need to.

Are there visual effects or lights?

Our studios use soft, warm lighting to create a comfortable and peaceful environment.

We don't use strobe lights or flashing visual effects. The emphasis remains on sound, rest, and your internal experience.

Can I record or take pictures?

We ask that phones and recording devices remain put away during sessions.

This helps preserve an atmosphere where everyone can fully participate without distraction or concern about being photographed.

Occasionally, we may document portions of an experience for promotional purposes, always with consideration for participants' privacy and prior consent.

What should I do after a sound bath?

There's no special routine you need to follow.

Some people enjoy taking a few quiet moments before returning to their day. Others like to journal, take a walk, or simply notice how they feel.

We encourage you to bring some of the awareness you practiced during your sound bath into whatever comes next.

Sometimes the most meaningful part of the experience is what you begin noticing afterward.

Can I drive or return to work afterward?

Yes. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after a sound bath.

You may feel particularly relaxed or inwardly focused, so give yourself a few moments to become fully alert before driving or moving into a demanding activity.

How long do the benefits last?

That varies from person to person and from session to session.

Some people notice a sense of calm or clarity that stays with them throughout the day. Others find the experience influences how they sleep, manage stress, or approach the following days.

We also encourage you to consider benefits beyond how long a particular feeling lasts.

The awareness you develop during a session can become something you carry into everyday life, especially when you practice regularly.

How often should I attend?

You're welcome to come as often as feels meaningful to you.

Even a single session can provide a valuable opportunity for rest and reflection.

For those interested in developing a deeper practice, weekly attendance can create continuity and help you become more familiar with your internal experiences.

Like meditation, the value of regular practice isn't necessarily that every session becomes more relaxing. It's that you gradually develop a different relationship with your own thoughts, emotions, and responses.

Can I combine sound baths with yoga, meditation, or hypnotherapy?

Absolutely. In fact, much of our work explores the relationships between these practices.

Yoga and somatic movement help you develop awareness through physical experience. Meditation offers opportunities to observe your attention and thoughts. Sound creates an immersive environment for rest and awareness.

Hypnotherapy offers another approach to exploring habitual patterns, developing new perspectives, and creating meaningful personal change.

Each practice has its own value, and they can complement one another beautifully.

Are sound baths safe for everyone?

Sound baths are generally accessible to a wide range of people, but individual comfort and health considerations are important.

Our sessions involve sustained acoustic sound, including occasional loud or intense tones from large gongs and other instruments. They may also involve extended periods of stillness, inward attention, and deep relaxation.

We recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before attending if you have a medical or psychological condition that could be affected by loud sounds, sensory stimulation, meditation, or prolonged rest.

Some circumstances worth discussing in advance include:

  • Pregnancy: Please let us know if you're expecting, particularly if you have concerns about sound intensity or comfortable positioning.

  • Hearing conditions or sound sensitivity: If you experience tinnitus, hyperacusis, or sensitivity to loud sounds, please contact us beforehand so we can discuss the experience.

  • Epilepsy or seizure disorders: If sensory stimulation or meditative practices could affect your condition, consult your healthcare provider before participating.

  • Recent surgery, injury, or physical limitations: Please consider whether extended periods of lying down or sitting comfortably are appropriate for you.

  • Significant psychological distress or trauma-related sensitivity: Inward-focused practices can occasionally bring up difficult feelings. If you have concerns, speak with your mental health provider and let us know how we can best support your comfort.

  • Medical devices or ongoing treatment: If you have an implanted medical device or are undergoing treatment and are uncertain whether the experience is appropriate, we encourage you to check with your healthcare provider.

You are always welcome to adjust your position, open your eyes, or step away if you become uncomfortable.

Our sound baths are intended to support relaxation, awareness, and personal well-being. They are not a replacement for medical or mental health care.

If you have questions about whether an experience is right for you, please reach out before booking. We're happy to talk through what to expect.

Hypnotherapy

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

Every session begins with a conversation. We'll explore what you're experiencing, the patterns you'd like to change, and what you hope to create in your life.

From there, we'll guide you into hypnosis, a state of focused attention in which you can explore thoughts, feelings, memories, and habitual responses in a different way.

Rather than simply telling you to think or behave differently, our work focuses on creating experiences that allow new perspectives and responses to emerge.

Some sessions may incorporate sound, guided imagery, or somatic awareness. Each experience is shaped by your goals and the work we're doing together.

What can hypnotherapy help me with?

Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool for exploring habits, limiting beliefs, emotional responses, confidence, motivation, and patterns that no longer serve you.

Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same behavior despite wanting something different. Maybe you struggle with self-doubt, have difficulty letting go of familiar responses, or feel uncertain about what comes next.

Our work begins by developing a greater understanding of these patterns and creating opportunities to experience something new.

But hypnotherapy isn't only about resolving difficulties. As our work progresses, we can also focus on building confidence, clarifying your values, imagining new possibilities, and actively shaping the future you want.

The goal isn't to become someone else. It's to develop greater freedom in how you experience and respond to your life.

Is this a medical or psychological service?

No. Our hypnotherapy practice focuses on personal development, self-awareness, and behavioral change.

We do not provide medical or psychological diagnoses or treatment, and our services are not a replacement for care from a licensed healthcare professional.

Hypnotherapy may complement work you're already doing with a physician, psychologist, or therapist when appropriate.

Can hypnotherapy help with depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions?

Our hypnotherapy services are not intended to diagnose or treat clinical depression, PTSD, or other mental health disorders.

However, people receiving appropriate professional care may also be interested in exploring personal goals, habitual responses, or self-awareness through hypnosis.

If you're currently receiving treatment for a mental health condition, we encourage you to discuss hypnotherapy with your licensed healthcare provider before beginning.

Do I need to believe in hypnosis for it to work?

You don't need any particular belief about hypnosis to participate.

Hypnosis is a collaborative process involving focused attention, imagination, and responsiveness to suggestion. It isn't mind control, and it doesn't require you to surrender your judgment.

Curiosity and a willingness to participate are far more useful than trying to achieve a particular state.

And just like meditation, you don't have to be good at it.

What does it feel like to be in hypnosis?

People experience hypnosis differently.

Some describe a deep sense of relaxation, while others feel mentally alert and intensely focused. You might notice changes in your awareness of time, physical sensations, or the way you experience your thoughts.

Many people compare it to becoming absorbed in a book, music, or a vivid daydream.

You remain able to communicate, move, and make decisions throughout the experience. You don't need to feel deeply relaxed for hypnosis to be useful.

There's no particular sensation that proves you're doing it correctly.

How many sessions will I need?

We offer individual sessions as well as ongoing hypnotherapy for people interested in more substantial personal change.

A single session can provide an opportunity to explore a particular concern, gain a new perspective, or experience hypnosis for the first time.

Our ongoing work is structured around a minimum commitment of 12 sessions, typically meeting once or twice each week.

This allows us time to understand familiar patterns, work with them through repeated experiences, and begin developing new ways of responding. As the work progresses, we can move beyond addressing existing difficulties and toward actively creating the future you envision.

Long-term work begins with an initial consultation so we can discuss your goals and determine whether our approach is a good fit.

Are you accepting new hypnotherapy clients?

Our ongoing hypnotherapy practice is currently full, and we're maintaining a waitlist for new long-term clients.

If you're interested in working together, you're welcome to join the waitlist. We'll be in touch to give you a sense of when an opening may become available.

Limited one-time sessions may also be available. These do not require an initial consultation.

Is sound always included in hypnotherapy?

Not necessarily.

Sound and hypnosis are distinct practices, and each has its own value. Depending on your goals and the nature of the session, we may incorporate live acoustic sound, guided meditation, breathing, or somatic awareness.

At other times, the work may focus entirely on conversation, imagery, and hypnotic experiences.

We choose our approach based on what will best support the work we're doing together rather than following the same format every time.

Can I bring someone with me?

Hypnotherapy sessions are individual experiences.

Working one-on-one allows us to create a private environment where you can speak openly, explore personal experiences, and remain focused on your own goals.

Guests and companions do not participate in the session.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Hypnosis is generally considered safe for many people when practiced appropriately, although individual experiences and responses can vary.

You remain an active participant throughout the session. You can communicate, ask questions, decline suggestions, or stop at any time.

Occasionally, exploring personal experiences may bring up unexpected emotions or discomfort. We approach this work with care, respect, and attention to your individual needs.

Hypnosis may not be appropriate for everyone, particularly people experiencing certain significant psychiatric symptoms. If you have questions about whether hypnotherapy is suitable for you, we encourage you to consult your healthcare provider before scheduling.

Our intention is to create an environment in which you feel comfortable exploring change at a pace that is appropriate for you.

Memberships & Packages

Do you offer gift certificates?

Absolutely. Giving someone time to rest, reconnect, and care for themselves can be a meaningful gift.

Our gift certificates can be used toward group classes, private sessions, memberships, and other eligible experiences.

Gift certificates never expire, so recipients can choose the experience and timing that feel right for them.

Do class packages or credits expire?

Purchased class packages, account credits, and gift certificates never lose their monetary value.

After one year, any unused package credits convert to their remaining monetary value, which can be applied toward future services.

Monthly membership visits work differently and must be used within their designated billing period.

Why become a Yoga Sound Bath member?

While a single sound bath can offer a wonderful opportunity to relax and recharge, regular practice allows you to explore something deeper.

Over time, you may begin to notice familiar patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. You might become more comfortable with stillness, more aware of how you experience stress, or better able to recognize what you need.

Membership creates a place for that practice in your life.

Our memberships make it easier and more affordable to return regularly, giving you a consistent opportunity to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

What membership options do you offer?

We offer flexible options based on how often you'd like to practice. Please see below.

Unlimited Membership

Our unlimited membership is designed for people who want the freedom to attend as often as they like. It includes access to our regular weekly classes, including sound baths, restorative sessions, gentle yoga, and other ongoing offerings.

Limited-Visit Memberships

Choose two or four visits per month, depending on your schedule and goals.

  • 2 visits per month: $79/month

  • 4 visits per month: $129/month

Both options can be used for any regularly scheduled weekly class, including new weekly classes added to our schedule.

Specialty workshops, performances, and private sessions are not included in standard memberships.

Is there a membership commitment?

Our limited-visit memberships require an initial four-month commitment.

We believe consistency is valuable, particularly when you're interested in developing an ongoing practice. Four months gives you an opportunity to establish a rhythm and experience what regular participation can offer.

After your initial commitment, your membership continues monthly until you choose to cancel.

Do unused membership visits roll over?

Monthly membership visits reset with each billing cycle and do not roll over.

We recommend booking your sessions in advance, particularly if you have favorite class times. This helps you maintain consistency and reserve space in our smaller-group experiences.

Can I attend additional classes beyond my membership?

Of course.

If you have a limited-visit membership and would like to attend more often, you're always welcome to book additional classes.

Members receive a 10% discount on eligible additional bookings, making it easier to add an extra experience whenever you feel inspired.

How do I book my classes?

Once your membership is active, you can reserve your classes directly through our online booking system.

Your available membership credits will automatically apply to eligible bookings, so there's nothing extra you need to do.

We encourage booking ahead, as many of our experiences have limited capacity.

Can I pause my membership?

Yes. Life happens, and sometimes your schedule needs a little flexibility.

You may pause your membership once per year for up to one month.

Simply email us at least one week before your next billing date, and we'll help arrange your pause.

How do I cancel my membership?

After completing your initial four-month commitment, you can cancel your membership without a cancellation fee.

Just send us an email before your next billing date, letting us know when you'd like your membership to end.

You're always welcome to return whenever the time feels right.

Can I share my membership with someone else?

Memberships are intended for individual use and cannot be transferred or shared.

However, we love welcoming friends and family. They're always invited to join you by purchasing their own class credits, packages, or drop-in sessions.

What happens if I miss a class?

We understand that plans sometimes change.

If you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled class, your membership credit will be returned to your account for use within the same billing period.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before class, as well as missed sessions, result in the loss of that class credit.

Because our experiences have limited capacity, this policy helps us keep spaces available for others who would like to attend.

Are there any additional fees?

There are no hidden membership fees.

Your monthly price includes your designated class visits and any applicable member benefits.

Private sessions, specialty events, and other experiences outside your membership are priced separately, so you'll always know what you're purchasing.

Practitioners & Credentials

Are your practitioners certified?

Yes. Our practitioners bring formal training and certification in their respective disciplines, including yoga instruction, sound healing, and clinical hypnotherapy.

But we believe credentials are only the beginning.

Our work is shaped by ongoing education, personal practice, curiosity, and a commitment to creating thoughtful, meaningful experiences.

We approach each session with care, respect for individual differences, and the understanding that everyone arrives with their own needs and experiences.

How are your sound healing practitioners trained?

Our practitioners receive specialized training in sound healing, acoustic instruments, and the thoughtful design of immersive sound experiences.

This includes learning the techniques and characteristics of instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and percussion, as well as understanding how sound, silence, rhythm, and dynamics influence an experience.

But technical ability is only part of the practice.

We place equal importance on listening, awareness, sensitivity to participants, and knowing when to create space rather than fill it.

Our approach draws on sound, meditation, somatic awareness, and a continuing exploration of how people experience attention, rest, and connection with themselves.

We believe the most meaningful experiences come not simply from the instruments we play, but from the intention, attention, and care we bring to playing them.

Policies

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans change, and we appreciate as much advance notice as possible. Because our sessions have limited capacity, our cancellation policies help us keep spaces available for everyone who would like to attend.

For regular group sound baths and classes, you may cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your scheduled session. Cancellations made within 24 hours, as well as missed sessions, result in the loss of your class credit.

For specialty classes, workshops, and performances, all ticket sales are final. Once purchased, tickets cannot be canceled, refunded, transferred to another event, or changed to a different date.

Do you offer refunds?

All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds for unused classes, packages, memberships, or event tickets.

We encourage you to choose experiences and packages that work well with your schedule. If you have questions before purchasing, we're always happy to help.

What happens if I'm late?

We encourage you to give yourself a few extra minutes to arrive, settle in, and transition away from the pace of your day.

For group sessions, please arrive approximately 5 minutes early, or 10 minutes early if it's your first visit.

Once a session begins, the doors close and late entry is not permitted. This allows everyone to enjoy an uninterrupted experience.

For private sessions, arriving more than 15 minutes after your scheduled start time will result in cancellation of the session without a refund.

Can I transfer my sessions or credits to someone else?

Class packages, memberships, and account credits are generally intended for individual use and cannot be transferred.

Certain packages may allow you to share credits with one designated partner when that benefit is specifically included in the purchase.

If you'd like to give someone an experience at Yoga Sound Bath, our gift certificates are a wonderful option.

Experience & Environment

What should I bring?

Just yourself, dressed comfortably.

We provide mats, blankets, bolsters, eye pillows, and everything you need to settle in and enjoy the experience.

You're welcome to bring a water bottle, journal, or anything else that makes you feel comfortable.

There's nothing you need to prepare or practice beforehand.

What does the space feel like?

Our studios are designed to feel welcoming, comfortable, and removed from the demands of everyday life.

Soft lighting, comfortable places to rest, and an extraordinary collection of acoustic instruments create an environment where you can slow down and turn your attention inward.

We care about the details, from the way a room sounds to how you're welcomed when you arrive.

Our intention is simple: to create a space where you can feel comfortable being exactly as you are, without expectations or demands.

What if I fall asleep during a sound bath?

That's perfectly fine. Falling asleep is common, and rest is always welcome.

You may drift in and out of sleep, remain fully awake, or experience something in between. There's no need to fight sleep or judge your experience.

If you begin snoring loudly enough to disturb other participants, we may gently touch your shoulder to wake you. This helps preserve a peaceful environment for everyone.

If you'd prefer not to be touched, please let us know before the session.

You haven't missed anything or done anything wrong. Rest is part of the experience, too.

Is sound healing safe for everyone?

Sound baths are generally accessible to many people, although individual sensitivities and health considerations are important.

Some of our instruments produce powerful sounds that may be uncomfortable for people with certain hearing conditions or sensory sensitivities.

If you have a medical condition that could be affected by loud sound, sensory stimulation, or prolonged rest, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before attending.

You're always welcome to adjust your position, open your eyes, or step away if you feel uncomfortable.

If you have specific concerns, please contact us before your visit. We're happy to discuss what to expect.

What if there are unexpected sounds during the session?

Our studios are peaceful, but they're also part of a living city. You may occasionally hear traffic, people in the building, or other everyday sounds.

We don't consider these interruptions to the practice.

It's easy to feel peaceful when everything around you is perfectly quiet. The more interesting opportunity is discovering that you can remain present even when your surroundings aren't exactly as you'd like them to be.

We invite you to notice whatever you hear without needing to resist or change it.

The world doesn't have to become quiet for you to find a little more peace within it.

What should I do if my mind wanders or I become distracted?

Notice it, and gently return your attention to the sound.

That's all.

You don't need to stop thinking, block out distractions, or hold your attention perfectly still.

Sometimes you'll become completely absorbed in the experience. Other times your thoughts will wander repeatedly.

Both are part of the practice.

Over time, you may discover that the ability to notice a distraction without immediately reacting to it is something you can carry into everyday life.

Additional Questions

Do you offer private group experiences or events?

Absolutely. We love creating experiences that bring people together.

Our private sound baths can be designed for couples, friends, families, birthday celebrations, retreats, and other special occasions.

Each experience is thoughtfully designed around your group, offering an opportunity to slow down, share something meaningful, and connect in a different way.

We offer private experiences at our Chicago studios and select off-site locations. Contact us to explore the possibilities.

Can I book a session as a couple?

Yes. Private sound baths can be a wonderful experience to share with a partner.

Whether you're celebrating something special, looking for an opportunity to reconnect, or simply wanting to spend meaningful time together, we can create an experience for the two of you.

Couples interested in exploring relationship patterns or personal growth through hypnotherapy are welcome to inquire about individual sessions. Our hypnotherapy practice is designed for one-on-one work rather than couples therapy.

Do you offer corporate or off-site sessions?

Yes. We work with organizations to create opportunities for employees and teams to step away from their daily demands, experience deep rest, and return to work feeling more grounded and refreshed.

Our corporate offerings include private workplace sound baths, recurring wellness programs, team experiences, and special events.

We can welcome your team into one of our Chicago studios or bring an immersive sound experience directly to your workplace or event location.

Whether you're planning a single event or looking to establish a regular wellness practice for your organization, we're happy to design an experience around your needs.

How should I feel after a session?

There's no particular way you should feel.

You might leave feeling relaxed, lighter, clearer, or more energized. You might feel reflective or notice emotions or physical sensations that weren't particularly apparent before.

And sometimes, you might simply feel like yourself after having enjoyed an hour of uninterrupted rest.

Every experience is different.

We encourage you to approach whatever you notice with curiosity rather than expectation. You don't need to analyze the experience or make anything happen afterward.

Sometimes the value of a session becomes apparent in the hours or days that follow, through small changes in how you notice and respond to everyday life.
