  1. As both a massage therapist and certified sound healing practitioner, how have you seen sound healing support individuals navigating cancer or post-treatment recovery—physically, emotionally, or energetically?
    The gentle, noninvasive nature of sound healing creates a deeply restful state that supports the body’s natural healing response. In my experience, it offers a safe and calming environment for those recovering from treatment or navigating cancer, especially when emotional sensitivity is high. Vibrational sound helps quiet external stimulation and guides the nervous system from fight or flight into rest and repair. Many have shared that sound sessions helped them relax deeply, reconnect with their bodies, and find moments of peace and emotional release.
  2. Research shows that sound healing can influence brainwaves and the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Could you explain how this process works and why it can be especially beneficial for those affected by cancer?
    Sound healing can shift brainwaves into slower states like alpha and theta through a process called brainwave entrainment. When we hear steady tones and harmonics—such as those from crystal singing bowls—the brain synchronizes with those vibrations. This shift supports the nervous system in moving into a parasympathetic state where healing, digestion, and repair occur. For those affected by cancer, this can reduce stress, regulate the nervous system, and support both emotional and physical recovery.
  1. For someone who has never experienced a sound bath before, what can they expect during the session, and how might it help them reconnect with their body or emotions during challenging times?
    A sound bath is a deeply relaxing experience where participants lie down and receive sound through instruments like crystal singing bowls and chimes. The tones gently guide the body into a state of rest and calm. For those facing physical or emotional challenges, sound baths create space to simply be—free from pressure to process or explain. The vibrations help clear mental and emotional noise, creating space for presence, emotional awareness, and a deeper connection to the body and heart.
