Exciting news!

I'm now offering Sound Sessions at the Shasta County YMCA two days a week!

If you’re a YMCA member (or thinking about joining), come out and join me for Sunday morning sessions at 9am and/or Thursday evenings at 6:45pm

Let’s fill the room with calm, community, and good vibrations!

Intended to be a quick reboot of the system. Swing by before an important meeting 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. Reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration and enjoying a peaceful pause in the day for YOU!

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. 

Book your 30 minute private session today to experience for yourself!

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.

Mourning Space and Evolved Star Sound are thrilled to introduce a deeply restorative new offering: 

Private Guided Meditation with Sound Bowls, now available in our serene Pine Street office.

Your session begins with a warm beverage and space to arrive and unwind. From there, Joko will guide you through a restorative guided meditation, while the vibrations of crystal sound bowls played by Tessa carry you into a space of deep stillness as they rejuvenate at a cellular level.

The full experience lasts about an hour, with 30 minutes of immersive meditation and time before and after for spacious integration. Introductory Rate: $80 (regularly $99)

Upgrade to ceremonial cacao for an additional $15

Why try it?
Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and increase emotional clarity. Combined with the therapeutic frequencies of sound bowls—known to slow brainwave activity, balance energy centers, and promote deep rest—this session invites both inner peace and cellular harmony.

Reserve your private experience today and gift yourself a moment of renewal.

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.
