Matty Sunshine Sound Healing

01/27/2026

During these slower, snowier days, I’ve been binge reading “A Hypnotist’s Journey to Avalon” by Sarah Breskman Cosme (A Hypnotist’s Journey with Sarah Breskman Cosme) and I read the following message last night about the power of self-love that came from the Higher Self of one of her clients while recounting a past life. As we’re just about one month away from Return to Self: A Self-Love Sound Bath on February 28 at So Hum Yoga Studio at The Holistic Health Collective this powerful reflection very much resonated with me and my personal journey with increasing self-love, and I hope it does for you too. If it does, I invite you to learn more about and register for Return to Self here:

Tickets are $50 per person and include a 60-minute sound bath, one self-love themed crystal bracelet, and one self-love themed Essential Oils aromatherapy roller (multiple options for each item will be available for guests to choose one of each item).

☀️ RESCHEDULED: Purposefully Present: A Sound Bath Reflection at 2RST☀️

Hello, beautiful souls - myself and Robert, owner of 2 R S T, have been closely tracking the projected weather and road conditions for this Saturday, January 24, during the time Purposefully Present: A Sound Bath Reflection at 2RST is supposed to take place. We have decided to reschedule the event in the best interest of everyone’s safety as the forecast is looking dicey, icy, and very cold.

Purposefully Present will now take place Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 9:00-11:00 am at 2RST - the day after the Spring Equinox.

As the world begins to awaken with the springtime, I hope you’ll join us on this new date to also awaken by purposefully pausing and reflecting on your present moment at that time through healing sounds, vibrations, and frequencies to help guide you into living a more aligned, balanced, and authentic new season.

If you already purchased a ticket, we sincerely thank you and you will receive an email from me today with your options. If you would like to reserve your spot for March 21, I invite you to visit:

To help you stay balanced and aligned as we move forward into 2026, you’re invited to join me as I facilitate the first ever sound bath experience at 2 R S T in Grand Rapids on Saturday, January 24 from 9:00-11:00 AM, with relaxing moments planned on either side of the sonic journey designed to help you stay in the present moment and appreciate the beauty of daily experiences.

One of these creatively curated activities is “Note by 2RST” - a time to pause and reflect on the present moment by writing a note to your 2027 self one year in the future. Whether it’s an emotional release on paper, manifesting future dreams, or honoring current challenges or successes, this reflection is designed to help you calm your mind before the sound bath by appreciating where your journey has taken you up to this time before releasing what’s no longer serving you on that journey during the sound bath. Following the event, Robert will mail each guest their letter one year later in January 2027 💌

☀️Return to Self: A Self-Love Sound Bath - Feb. 28, 2026☀️

My upcoming self-love themed sound bath on February 28 revolves around our most important relationship - the one we have with ourselves - especially during a month when we tend to focus on giving more of our love, attention, and energy to others. So, I invite you to return to yourself on February 28, from 1:00 PM-2:30 PM at So Hum Yoga Studio at The Holistic Health Collective in Grand Rapids for an opportunity to end the month of giving love by giving yourself some love through the experience of listening to and absorbing healing sounds, vibrations, and frequencies. Tickets are $50 per person and include a 60-minute sound bath, one self-love themed crystal bracelet, and one self-love themed Essential Oils aromatherapy roller (multiple options for each item will be available for guests to choose one of each item). Pre-registration is required as space is limited to 22 people. To learn more and register, I invite you to visit:

To help open our “heart homes” to welcome in more self-love this year, I’ll be focusing on nourishing the energy center of our bodies known as the Heart Chakra with my associated crystal singing bowl during the sound bath. Located in the center of your chest, this chakra serves as our center of love for ourselves and others, as well as compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and acceptance. If the Heart Chakra becomes unbalanced, you may find it hard to develop and keep healthy relationships with yourself or others. Often associated with the color green, the Heart Chakra is the bridge between the lower chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus) and upper chakras (Throat, Third Eye, Crown) to create and maintain overall balance throughout our bodies, minds, and spirits 💚

☀️Tuning Fork Therapy☀️

Learn more + book a session:

MattySunshineSoundHealing.com/offerings

Sound healing is based on the principle that everything in the Universe is comprised of energy, frequencies, and vibrations, and that specific sounds, vibrations, and frequencies can be used to balance and harmonize this energy inside each of us. Tuning forks are non-invasive acoustic instruments that can produce these vibrations and frequencies when activated at specific areas on (using weighted tuning forks) and around the body (using unweighted tuning forks). In this way, tuning forks, which are each tuned to a different frequency, are used as a form of “sonic acupuncture” to help break up and release stuck energy. This allows the body to heal and function more effectively over time.

Layers of tension build up when we experience stress or trauma or repress emotions without honoring and processing these experiences. These vibrations can become so dense they manifest emotionally and physically as pains, illnesses, diseases, bad habits, and unhealthy mindsets. During Tuning Fork Therapy sessions, I pair science and intuition to strategically choose the most effective tuning forks to use on the individual based on their needs and goals to spread healing vibrations throughout the body abd maximize healing potential. This can help balance the body’s natural healing mechanisms and chakras (energy centers). Here are some of the possible benefits of Tuning Fork Therapy in a single session or over time:

⚖️ Balancing cellular vibration
🧘 Harmonizing the nervous system
🧠 Enhancing cognitive function
🧬 Repairing DNA
🦴 Improving bone density
😴 Supporting digestion and sleep
🩹 Reducing inflammation and pain
😭 Releasing repressed/stuck emotions
⏰ Regulating the body’s circadian rhythm

☀️Purposefully Present: A Sound Bath Reflection at 2RST - Jan. 24, 2026☀️

With so many turbulent energies swirling around the world right now, the ability to return to and remain in the present moment so you can fully tap into a heart of gratitude and your inner wisdom for guidance is important, but certainly not always easy to achieve.

To help you practice staying in the present moment, even if only for a short time, you’re invited to experience the first ever sound bath at 2 R S T, which I have the honor of facilitating on Saturday, January 24, from 9:00-11:00 AM in the 2RST live event space connected to the 2RST storefront located at 1511 Plainfield Ave NE ( Suite B ) in Grand Rapids, MI. Tickets are $55 per person and pre-registration is required as space is limited to 12 people. To register, I invite you to visit:

Robert McKenzie’s vision for his 2RST lifestyle brand and mindset was born during an epiphany moment at a difficult time in his life that challenged him to appreciate the present moment and the familiar with fresh eyes. This evolved into encouraging others to live every day like a tourist (2RST) in their own surroundings by embracing curiosity, open-mindedness, and adventure while appreciating diversity and practicing mindfulness.

Robert and I have special moments planned on either side of a soothing, 60-minute sound bath to help you stay in the present moment of our time together and truly appreciate the beauty and richness of your daily experiences. One is Note by 2RST - an opportunity to start 2026 by reflecting on your present so you can write a letter to yourself one year in the future and bring those intentions with you into the sonic journey. The other is a sampling of one of 2RST’s two speciality grade coffee blends after the sound bath, one of which is roasted by Lantern Coffee Bar and Lounge right here in Grand Rapids.

I want to sincerely thank the 19 beautiful souls who joined me and Jenn, owner of Boochie - Kombucha and Wellness Bar, on January 10 for Sound Baths at Boochie - New Year Release & Renew - an evening of gratitude, intention setting, grounding kombucha, and healing sounds, vibrations, and frequencies 🙏 Before the sound bath, Jenn led the group in a reflective yet forward-looking journaling exercise to help our guests honor and appreciate the joys, challenges, and lessons of 2025 and set intentions for the year ahead.

At Boochie, I normally have some kind of sun-themed tapestry hanging behind me, and for this special first sound bath of 2026, I intentionally chose my YOU ARE sun tapestry because the rays each include a positive descriptive word. Ahead of Jenn’s reflection, I asked guests to think about how they would complete the YOU ARE statement to describe themselves and who they want to be for 2026. Because the sounds, vibrations, and frequencies of a sound bath reach us at a cellular level, the experience is very much a purging exercise. So, the next prompt to our guests was to then reflect on what needs to be released in order to fully embody their YOU ARE - relationships, habits, mindsets, you name it. Looking at these words, I wonder how you would fill in the YOU ARE blank for yourself?

I’m so grateful to be able to create nourishing environments at Boochie that offer opportunities for attendees to gain clarity, relax their nervous systems, heal physical ailments, and more. Every participants experience is truly different. While there aren’t any Sound Baths at Boochie events currently on the calendar, Jenn and I are developing the next round of dates, so please stay tuned. In the meantime, I invite you to explore and register for my other upcoming sound baths here:

☀️”But I don’t want to take a bath!” ☀️

That was probably my favorite statement leading into my kid-friendly sound bath today during Backyard Fun Zone’s Winter Wellness For Kids event. After reassuring the young guest we were not all about to take that kind of 🛁, I had the honor of guiding kids and adults alike through a short sound bath to help ground, calm, and relax after some major playtime on BFZ’s many giant play sets.

My favorite part of the event was the amount of interest many kids showed toward trying some of my instruments before the sound bath, including handpans, my gong, and multiple steel tongue drums, the latter being by far the most popular. Some played calmly, others excitedly, and that’s one reason why I love these instruments - they can match the energy of the player and still lull you into a relaxed state of being.

Thank you to Shae and Tracy, the owners of BFZ, for inviting me to be a part of this fun-filled event focusing on mindfulness and movement 🙏 Our little ones are so busy with our world’s many expectations for them at such young ages, so it was a privilege to provide a pause amidst the play time and introduce kids and parents alike how powerful these instruments can be as healing tools ☀️

☀️ Kid-Friendly Sound Bath at Winter Wellness For Kids - Jan. 11 ☀️

Following the short sound bath I’ll be conducting at Winter Wellness for Kids at Backyard Fun Zone this Sunday (1/11) at 1:00 pm, guests will have the opportunity to play a few of my sound healing instruments 🎶 These include my gong named Sunny, a Tibetan singing bowl, a handpan, and, in my opinion, one of the most accessible, affordable, and relaxing-for-all-ages instruments - the steel tongue drum.

Steel tongue drums vary in shape, size, and number of tongues, each producing its own unique sound. This type of drum is called an idiophone, which is an instrument that vibrates to produce a sound when struck, shaken, or scraped.

We love these drums in our home, especially when our boys get home from school and need to shake off some of that residual energy from their active days. We pull these out and the vibe instantly changes to a calm and fun reset. Here are some of the main reasons I love using the steel tongue drum in my practice and at home:

💗High Vibrational Quality - produces a full-bodied sound and vibrations that create a calming and grounding effect on the mind, body, and spirit

🎶 Unique Tone - these drums tend to produce a melodic tone with a soothing quality different from other percussion instruments

🔊Long Resonance - allows the sound to linger in the environment to create an immersive sound experience

🥁Versatility & Accessibility - they can be played in a variety of ways by people of all ages to produce numerous tone/rhythm combinations, and they pair well with other instruments like handpans, guitars, didgeridoos, and sing bowls.
