All the same benefits of my full offerings at LIT but abbreviated and in a private session, on your time! Come in before an important meeting, on your lunch break or between the transfer of work to home and family.

The crystal quartz sound bowls stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, assisting you in dropping into a state of relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep quality, alleviating pain, and promoting a sense of overall well-being through the resonant sounds washing over the body, triggering the release of feel-good chemicals and increasing levels of BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor) a protein in the brain and spinal cord that plays a critical role in many aspects of brain function.

This one hour private sound session is offered in my office for one person.

Using my brass and crystal quartz bowls, I will assist you in dropping into a deep state of relaxation. Reduce the mental fog, release emotions and tension, alleviating pain for many. The resonant sounds wash over the body reducing stress and anxiety with the feel good chemicals that are activated by the vibrations, you will leave the appointment feeling an overall better presence, balance and mindset.

If you are working through some specific feelings or energies, this session is the perfect pause to set with those thoughts and dive deep into an internal exploration of your subconscious.

Prefer the comfort of your own home or venue? This private sound offering is ideal for you. I will pack up the tools and come to your location.

Interested in including your partner or a few friends, we will add $12 per person to the base hourly price.

For special occasions we can work together to craft a prompt for the guided meditation, setting the space perfectly for the container you wish to create for your gathering.
