🌾That view though…..

I celebrated last Friday’s Spring Equinox with a wonderful group of humans, at my ‘Springtime Sound Healing Sanctuary’.

It was a truly peaceful and restorative event.

After a sublime evening of rest, peace, healing frequencies and an appreciation of the miracle of Spring, the participants headed home with a goody bag containing beautiful gifts from , and . As well as some scented narcissi from , and a crystal which we specially charged with the energy of the event.

So far, I have only held sound baths at Truleigh Centre when it’s been dark, which creates a special, cosy, ‘tucked away’, candlelit vibe.

But last Friday I learned that the venue is even more special when the evenings are lighter.

Being able to see the calming view adds an extra layer of healing to a sound bath. And there were so many comments about how tranquil and special it was up there.

The next sound bath at Truleigh Centre is this Thursday, 26th March, if you’d like to come and experience it for yourself.

At the time of writing, there are only five spaces left, but plenty of spaces at the subsequent dates.

💧Water is healing.
🎶Sound is healing.
🔥Heat is healing.

My ‘Sound, Sauna & Swim’ events at combine all three.

And when participants arrive at the venue, nearly every single one of them says they want to move in ☺️.

And when it’s time to go home, they all say they are definitely coming back.

And they do.

Nearly every event has someone who’s been before (sometimes multiple times).

Come and experience this magical trio of healing for yourself.

I have dates in April, May and June currently scheduled.

When you come to one of my sound baths, before a single note is played, your nervous system is already shifting.

From doing → to being. From alert → to at ease. From sympathetic → to parasympathetic.

Here’s how……

When You Arrive, soft folk music is playing.

Slow tempo + soft tones = safety signals to the brain.

Safety = the body begins to relax.
 →Your heart rate steadies. →Your breath slows. →You begin to land.

And…

A gentle scent of incense or essential oils is in the air.

Scent speaks directly to the emotional brain. 
It bypasses logic and whispers:

→You’re safe here. →You can soften now.

In the evening, flickering candlelight → signals rest, safety, winding down. 
In the day, gentle natural light and beautiful views → signals spaciousness, grounding, connection.

Different atmospheres. Same nervous system response: soften.

By the time you lie down, your system already knows:

→You are held. →You are safe. →You can receive.

And then… the sound journey begins✨.

“It became clear to me that stress and emotional health had a more powerful impact on health than nutrition.”

My career started in 1998 when I started studying nutrition, right after I left Cambridge University. Since then, transforming peoples lives and health through natural medicine has been a great privilege for me, and something that I have always enjoyed.

And furthermore, dietary changes are often short-lived and can cause stress, guilt and confusion. Three things we can do without in our lives.

Some of my clients came to me with ‘perfect’ diets, yet they still felt unwell. They were often anxious, fearful or stressed, and there’s no nutrition than can address these uncomfortable feelings. It became clear to me that stress and emotional health had a more powerful impact on health than nutrition.
