The Practice

What is a sound bath, and how does it work?

Sound healing uses live instruments, including singing bowls, gongs, tamboura, piano, chimes, drums, and vocals, to support deep relaxation, nervous-system regulation, and emotional release. Vibration and sound create a physical and energetic response in the body. Most clients describe entering a deeply relaxed liminal space where the mind quiets and the body releases what it has been holding.

Sound healing is a complementary practice. It works alongside medical and mental-health care, not instead of it. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care.

What It Supports

Sound healing for stress, sleep, and nervous-system regulation

Grounded, body-based support for what the nervous system is carrying, as a complement to medical or mental-health care.

Stress & Anxiety

The vibration of live instruments can support a relaxation response, easing the chronic activation that keeps many LA residents wound tight. Many clients describe a pressure-valve release after a single session.

Sound healing for anxiety

Sleep & Rest

When the nervous system settles during a session, sleep often follows that night and in the days after. Clients who struggle with a racing mind at bedtime frequently notice the difference.

Sound healing for sleep

Emotional Release & Clarity

Sound creates the conditions where emotional weight that cannot be named or talked through has somewhere to go. Not catharsis for its own sake. Movement. The difference between feeling stuck and feeling lighter.

Sound healing for stress

Sound healing supports clients moving through stress, tension, and emotional overwhelm as a complement to medical or mental-health care. It is not a substitute for professional treatment.

Inside a Session

What is included in a private sound bath

Every private session at our studio is shaped to you, not to a room. Here is what a session includes, start to finish.

  • Live instruments, played for you

    Singing bowls, gongs, chimes, piano, vocals, ocean drums, and tamboura. Real instruments played in the room, never a recording left to ring on a shelf.

  • Breathwork integration

    Conscious, guided breathing opens the body and settles the nervous system before the sound begins. Gentle and paced to you, not a workshop technique.

  • A ceremonial tea ritual

    You are greeted with warmth and a ceremonial tea. No rush, no script. The session begins when you are settled, not on a clock.

  • A personalized Intentional Attunement Process

    The instruments chosen, the pacing, and the tone are shaped to what your body needs that day. No two sessions run the same.

  • A private 1-on-1 container

    This is a private session, not a group event. The full arc of the session is curated around your history, your body, and your intention.

Personalized

Personalized sessions, built around your intention

Every private session is personalized. For clients who want a clear intention coming in, we offer three focus tracks. Not sure which fits? We will talk it through when you book.

Peak Performance & Mental Clarity

For high-achievers, founders, and creative professionals who need to quiet the noise. Focus on breath, clarity, and grounded presence.

Emotional Intelligence & Heart Connection

For clients working through grief, a relationship shift, or a creative block. Focus on the heart, emotional release, and reconnection.

Physical Aliveness & Energy

For clients who are tired from the inside out. Focus on energy movement, restoration, and the body's felt sense of aliveness.

Your Visit

What a sound healing session feels like

1

You arrive at the Melrose loft

You are greeted with warmth and a ceremonial tea. No rush, no clipboard. A few quiet minutes to land before anything begins.

2

A short breath setup

Conscious breathing opens the body and settles the nervous system before the sound begins. Gentle, guided, and paced to you. You stay fully clothed.

3

The sound bath begins

Live instruments surround you: singing bowls, gongs, chimes, piano, vocals, and ocean drums. The sound moves through the body, not just around it. Many clients notice the pressure-valve release within the first ten minutes.

4

Integration before you leave

A few quiet minutes to return to the room before we check in. The tea is still warm. You do not need to go anywhere immediately.

Good Questions

Sound healing, answered

Honest answers about how sessions work, what to expect, and what sound healing is and is not.

Sound and vibration have been used in complementary and ceremonial contexts across cultures for thousands of years. What we can say honestly: clients consistently report feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded after a session. The nervous system responds to sound and vibration. We will not overstate the research. What we know is what clients describe, and what they describe is specific: pressure released, sleep improved, mood lighter.
Private sessions at our Melrose studio run $250 to $350 for 60 to 90 minutes. That includes breathwork integration, a ceremonial tea ritual, and live instruments played specifically for you, not a recording or a bowl left to ring on a shelf. No intake forms, no hidden add-ons.
Group sound baths are excellent, and they are also not the same as a private session. At a group event, the practitioner is working for a room. At our studio, the instruments, pacing, and session arc are shaped entirely to you: your history, your body, your intention for the day. It is the difference between a concert and a private performance. See our private sound bath page for more.
Wear comfortable clothing. Nothing needs to come off. The session is primarily immersive sound. Your practitioner may use light, consensual touch during the breathwork setup, and hands-on reiki can be added to a sound session with your consent. If you have preferences, tell us when you arrive.
Yes. Sound and reiki layer well together. Ask for the combined session when you book. Both Jaime and Yonatan hold Certified Reiki Master Teacher credentials, so the combination is something we do regularly.
Sound healing is gentle and non-invasive, and it suits most people. Certain instruments and frequencies are used with modification during pregnancy, and some are avoided in early pregnancy. If you have a cardiovascular condition, a seizure disorder, or are in early recovery from surgery, call us before booking at (775) 618-5531. Sound healing is a complement to medical care, not a substitute for it, so we would rather have that conversation than have you uncertain in the room.
Many clients notice a shift after one session. Sound healing tends to deepen with repeated visits, but a single session is a complete experience, not a preview. Most clients in Los Angeles return every two to four weeks.
