Acupuncture + Sound Healing

I'm excited to share that recently I completed my Advanced Level 1 certification in sound healing from the International Academy of Sound Healing. I am now offering sound healing sessions as well as acupuncture with sound healing. 

Sound healing harnesses the power of vibration to support the nervous system and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. Sound is an exceptionally powerful form of energy. Both ancient Vedic philosophers and modern scientists at NASA and CERN agree that the universe itself was created through sound.​

Singing bowls, traditionally crafted from copper and tin, produce vibrations when tapped with a felt or leather striker. These vibrations resonate at frequencies often associated with love and wisdom. When the bowls are placed on or near the body, their sound waves can help restore balance and support healing across physical, emotional and psychological levels.​

Stress remains the leading cause of illness in body, mind, and spirit. In Chinese medicine, these three aspects of being are inseparable—each requires nourishment and care. Sound offers a unique way of addressing them all at once.​

The nervous system, in particular, is highly responsive to sound. Hearing is the first sense to develop in the womb and the last to remain before death. When the deep, harmonious tones of singing bowls wash over the body, the nervous system naturally shifts towards relaxation, helping to ease stress and invite balance to the body, mind and spirit. 

When combined with acupuncture, the metal from the acupuncture needles appears to deepen the effects of the vibration from the singing bowls, thereby reinforcing the acupuncture session.   

Sound healing and its impact has been recognized by scientists and doctors across the globe. Some healthcare settings, including hospitals, have integrated sound healing into their systems. Dr. Michelle Gaynor, author of The Healing Power of Sound and former director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine, the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in New York, says this about sound healing, "If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies."​
