As a Sound Therapy Practitioner, Laura intentionally creates her therapeutic soundscapes with the vibrations from quartz crystal bowls, other instruments and voice, and combines them to calm the mind, body and spirit. Sound-Bath therapy is an exercise in deep listening and no experience is required. The powerful effects of sound and vibration stimulate your brain without you needing to “do anything.” Clients often report a positive release of emotion and physical tension. What’s wonderful about sound-bath therapy is it is the quickest way to meditation without realizing that you are even meditating! There is no wrong way to receive a sound bath. All you have to do is sit or lie down, settle into a comfortable position, close your eyes, and give yourself permission to take a time out. Bathing in the sound of the bowls, clients are better able to slow down and process the challenges of life. Sound-Bath Therapy is all about you and an opportunity is cultivating to allow you to slow down and create space in your busy life.
