In 2023 I qualified as a sound healing practitioner with the College of Sound Healing. I am thoroughly enjoying my work with this while continuing to practice solution-focused hypnotherapy and supervision. Group Gong relaxation classes have been running for a while now at Hope House centre, Radstock and more recently at Southdown Methodist Church, Bath.
On delving deeper into the understanding of sound healing and the way it all works it became apparent that the dream-like state induced by the sounds of the Gongs and other healing instruments is the same dream-like state induced with hypnosis which I have been using in my sessions with clients and supervisees over the past 13 years in practice. This excited me as I absolutely love playing the Gongs and the magic that having them come into my own life has created so I am very pleased to be able to now share this with you in a joyful yet professional way.
The group Gong baths have proved to be very popular and appreciated. People report feeling more relaxed, de-stressed and calm after sessions and some have said that they have gained the best night sleep ever, that they have been clearer in their thinking and decision making process and that physical ailments have improved. The sounds produced by the Gongs and other healing instruments confuse the brain with all the different frequencies vibrating which in turn induces the REM state. This is when we heal at our best. It is the same state we go in and out of during our sleep in order to process all of the emotional stuff that happens to us throughout the day.
I am a fully qualified and insured sound healing practitioner and holds a diploma in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy with the gold standard hypnotherapy practitioner diploma. I am also qualified in solution-focused brief therapy and I am a solution-focused supervisor for other therapists.
With years of professional training and experience with adults and children of all ages and abilities (including neuro-divergence) as a full time therapist/supervisor and is fully accustomed to holding space for clients in recovery from addiction, anxiety, depression and trauma and for people who are struggling with grief, terminal illness, anger and pain management, and for people receiving cancer treatment and their families.
One to one sessions are available either at Hope House surgery or at a place of your choice. I can bring all the Gongs or a selection of them to a suitable venue of your choosing for a private Gong bath either for a celebration, a corporate group, to add to your own retreat or just for a special treat for you and your family or friends.
