I’ve started a personal practice again that I used years ago when I was moving through big transitions and new chapters in life and work.

Anyone who has trained with me will know how much I value personal practice. I really believe in doing the work yourself before teaching/guiding others.

I re-read The Artist’s Way recently and decided to return to writing morning pages. Each morning I sit and write, not for social media or planning, but simply to clear the mental noise and bring clarity.

Getting everything onto paper helps me sort what needs action, what needs releasing, and what no longer belongs in this next chapter.

I’ve spent decades building knowledge, depth, and skill in this field. Constantly evolving and consciously shaping what comes next, with care, discernment and purpose.

There’s a lot evolving and growing in my work just now. In how I teach, what I offer, and where I place my energy, and I want to be as clear as possible before making some major changes.

I highly recommend writing ‘morning pages’

Sometimes growth isn’t about doing more, it’s about becoming clearer about what truly belongs.

All-Night Gong Puja

An overnight Gong Immersion is not a sound bath.�It is a ceremonial journey of rest, resonance and deep relaxation.

Held within a 4 star hotel, you are gently immersed in continuous gong sound throughout the night, allowing the body to soften, release and restore in ways that simply aren’t possible in shorter sound sessions.

This practice was brought to the West by my teacher, Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux, and is one of the most profound sound experiences I have ever encountered, both personally and professionally.

You will be welcomed into a calm ceremonial space where you’ll be shown to your own prepared space for the night.

Then, more than 10 gongs will be gently played for over 8 hours continuously by trained practitioners.

There will be quiet areas, a tea station and grounding space available throughout the night and we will share a nourishing private breakfast together in the morning.

Many people sleep deeply, some drift in and out of dreamlike states. Almost everyone leaves feeling calmer, clearer, lighter and more centred.

This is not about staying awake for the sound. It’s about allowing your nervous system to finally rest in the gong space.

One previous participant shared:
“By morning the physical pain I had been carrying was gone. I felt calm, centred and deeply restored. It was exactly what I needed.”

This is one of the most special public events I hold each year.
I hope you will join us.

January has been an incredibly busy month at the studio, full of endings and new beginnings.

The start of the month saw the completion of 2 gong practitioners classes, there were 1-1 practitioner days for mallet selections, studio recording days, practitioners finding and buying gongs, collaborations, and a new mid-week sound practitioners class starting.

A new gong practitioners class started this weekend too, this is a class who have already trained with me and are now back to continue their learning, no better compliment than practitioners coming back again! - one of the ladies flys in for her training!

Very busy, but very rewarding month 💫🎶

21/01/2026

Just some of the events and trainings I’m hosting in the next few months, there is so much more to come ….including a worldwide gong event that will be hosted here in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Very excited to share all this with you very soon 💫

09/01/2026

Final training days with this current group.

We started this morning working with some less familiar mallets - learning when something has a place in their own sound setup, when it doesn’t, and how to get the best from it if it does.

Skill isn’t about having more tools, it’s about knowing when and why we use them 💫

08/01/2026

Some lovely feedback from some Gong Practitioners who are coming to the end of their training with me.
Thank you ladies for your support and kind words, I absolutely love my job! 💫🎶

When you get to spend the last two days with the lovely Pauline at Sound Therapy Scotland and you get to add to you instrument collection

I have had the best two days and cannot wait to share

Watch out for sonic immersive massage coming soon - it’s awesome ☺️

‘Are all gongs the same?’

I asked this question to the practitioners in class today.
And the answer is simple - no.
But a one-word answer isn’t enough.

If someone has only ever worked with one gong, it’s easy for them to assume they’re all broadly similar.

They’re not.

There were over 25 gongs in the studio today for the practitioners to work with - they were learning the differences between them, understanding their qualities, and how each one asks to be played.

This included:
Nickel silver Paiste
Broder Oetken gongs
Paiste Bronze gongs
Feng/wind gongs
Stainless steel Grotta Sonora
Thai tuned gongs
Chau gongs

Different alloys.
Different responses.

These gongs don’t just sound different.
How you play them and how you pair them with other instruments in the session - it all changes.

This is why I don’t believe learning on one type of gong - or one style - is enough if someone wants to become a skilled, competent, confident, all-rounded gong practitioner.

It’s also why I keep class sizes very small, to maximise time spend on the instruments.
This is how I’ve always taught my practitioner trainings.

It gives each person the space to discover what genuinely suits them - whether that’s for personal practice, sharing sound with others, or integrating sound into an existing modality.

Access to this level of equipment, comparison, and guidance isn’t available anywhere else in Scotland.
There is a responsibly that shouldn’t be taken lightly when teaching these instruments and that takes time, experience and understanding.

So the answer is still no - they’re not all the same 💫

Edit ** only one space left on both start dates **
** This is the last time this course will be offered at this price **

Not all sound therapy training is the same.
And it shouldn’t be.

Sound is powerful. Instruments are powerful.
But owning instruments - or completing a short course - doesn’t automatically mean someone knows how to work with them well.

My Sound Practitioners Course is built for people who want depth, skill, and confidence that comes from experience, not from rushing.

You don’t need any prior musical training to take this course.
Curiosity, openness, and a genuine interest in sound and its effects are enough.

This is a 50+ hour, in-person training, taught in very small groups, where time is taken to truly understand sound - not just use it.

Students train with a wide range of instruments, including Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls, and an extensive selection of gongs of different sizes, alloys, and makers.
This isn’t about learning one way - it’s about discovering what actually suits you.

Real instruments.
Real listening.
Real comparison.

Because gongs are unique.
Bowls are unique.
And practitioners are unique.

I have been working with sound and bowls in my own personal and professional practice for over 20 years, and this course is designed to teach what is often missing from modern training:

• how to listen before you play
• how to choose instruments that genuinely suit you
• how sound is experienced in the body - not just understood conceptually
• how to work responsibly and ethically with people, not perform for them...and so much more!

The course is structured to meet you where you are, building week by week, layer by layer.
By the end, students aren’t copying a format - they understand their own sound and how to work with it.

As part of the training, students also receive one full year of mentorship with me.
That support continues long after the final weekend, because real learning doesn’t stop when a course ends.

I was honoured this year to receive a CMA Global Award for my work within the therapeutic sound industry, I was nominated by past students and peers.
That recognition reflects what matters most to me: practitioners leaving my training confident, capable, and clear about what they are - and are not - offering.

This course is fully CMA accredited and offers access to ongoing CPD days, advanced training, and events with myself and some of the most respected names in the industry.

This course is not for everyone.

It is for people who:
• value skill over trends
• want quality time and instruction with instruments, not just certification
• are willing to learn properly
• want their work to last

The next group begins in January.
This will be the last time the course is offered at its current price, and there are no plans to run it again until possibly late autumn.

If you’re looking for training that supports 1–1 work, group sessions, integration into an existing practice, or purely for personal exploration, and you want to be guided not just in what to buy - but also what you don’t need - this may be the right place to begin.
