Sonic Massage

Introducing Sonic Massage 🔔

What is it?

Sonic Massage is a style of massage that uses vibration and sound as a conduit to help the body release stress, calm the nervous system, and support relief from:

• rumination
• fight-or-flight stress
• pain

while encouraging the body to shift into a parasympathetic state, the state where true rest, recovery, and healing occur.
If you've ever experienced a deep meditative state (often associated with theta brainwaves), you know it can take time and practice to reach. Sonic Massage and sound therapy can help accelerate that process, allowing the mind and body to settle more quickly into deep relaxation and mental refreshment.

What tools are used?

Himalayan singing bowls are the foundation of this practice. These bowls have been used for thousands of years for healing, spiritual, and cultural purposes throughout Eastern traditions.

The bowls used in my practice are hand-sourced from Nepal and are of the highest quality. They produce deep, rich overtones that resonate through the body, helping promote relaxation, energetic flow, and a sense of balance.

The bowls can be played around the body or directly on the body, and may be used in a stand-alone Sonic Massage session or integrated into a massage session.

Crystal bowls vs Himalayan bowls

Crystal bowls are wonderful for pure tones and stronger sound projection, which makes them great for group sound baths. Himalayan bowls, however, have vibration qualities that make them especially effective for one-on-one Sonic Massage sessions.

I’m so excited to now be certified in Sonic Massage and to begin offering this experience to clients.
