An Introduction to Sound Baths

The Healing Power of Rest: What to Expect at a Sound Bath

At Wild Soul Studio, we believe that rest is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Especially in today’s world, where our nervous systems are often in a state of overdrive, the need for deep, intentional rest has never been greater.

Sound therapy is beginning to gain recognition as a powerful way to support the nervous system, entrain brain waves into meditative states, and gently guide the body and mind toward a place of balance. But for us, sound baths are more than a trendy wellness tool. They are sacred spaces—an offering of stillness, a moment to breathe, soften, and return to yourself.

It’s important to say: this is not a musical performance. It’s not about entertainment or perfection. It’s an energetic offering—an intentional weaving of sound vibrations that speak to your whole being, not just your ears. Each tone, each rhythm, is chosen to support nervous system regulation, inner exploration, and deep rest.

There’s no effort required. You don’t need to “do” anything or “achieve” anything. You’re welcome to drift, doze, or journey inwards—whatever feels right for you. And yes, soft snoring is completely allowed (and often heard)!

What is a Sound Bath?

If you’ve never experienced one before, a sound bath is a form of sound therapy where you lie down, fully clothed, on a yoga mat with bolsters, blankets, and an eye pillow to get as comfortable as possible. From there, you're invited to relax as an immersive soundscape unfolds around you—created with an array of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, harmonic gongs, chimes, shamanic drums, and soft percussion instruments.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

At Wild Soul Studio, we hold a strong commitment to creating spaces that feel safe, inclusive, and trauma-aware. We understand that every person carries their own story, and that true relaxation only happens when we feel safe—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

We’re not here to “heal” you or tell you what you need. Instead, we simply hold the space. With care, integrity, and compassion. Our intention is to offer a gentle invitation: to rest, to reconnect, and—if it feels right—to explore consciousness in a way that’s grounded, supported, and held.

Profound Stillness, Personal Insights

Over time, we’ve received incredibly kind and heartfelt feedback from those who’ve joined us for sound baths. Some describe it as the first time they’ve truly relaxed in years. Others share that they’ve felt subtle but profound shifts, received unexpected insights, or connected to something deeper within themselves.

Whether your experience is one of peace, emotional release, vivid inner journeying, or simply a much-needed nap, it’s all welcome. There’s no right or wrong way to receive this work.

Why Sound?

Different instruments carry different frequencies and tones that interact with the body and mind in unique ways. Many people find that these vibrations help quiet mental chatter, release physical tension, and guide them into altered states of consciousness similar to deep meditation or REM sleep.

Science is beginning to catch up with what many ancient cultures have long known: sound has the ability to affect our brain waves, our heart rate, and our emotional states. But beyond the science, we believe in the simple power of being deeply present in your body—of being held in a space where nothing is expected of you.

Come As You Are

You don’t need to be spiritual. You don’t need to be experienced. You don’t need to “believe” in anything. Just bring your tired body, your curious mind, or your open heart. Come as you are, and rest awhile.

Our monthly group sound baths at Wild Soul Studio are small, welcoming, and intentionally spacious. We’d love to hold space for you.

This is an opportunity to relax deeply whilst immersing yourself in a soundscape created with an array of crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, shamanic drums, chimes, a harmonic gong, and percussion instruments.

If you haven’t been to a sound bath before, then imagine snuggling up on a yoga mat with bolsters, blankets and eye pillows whilst bathing in the healing vibrations created with an array of beautiful instruments… soft snoring allowed!
