SOUND BATHS
Sound baths, also known as sound journeys, provide the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind.
Research Reveals That Sound and Frequency Can Reduce Stress | Psychology Today United Kingdom
During a typical session you are invited to sit or lay down, close your eyes and focus on the sounds of the carefully chosen instruments.
A typical session lasts an hour, depending on your choice of session. I play each instrument individually allowing you to be completely absorbed in each of their unique sounds and vibrations.
Sound baths can be performed in a one-to-one or group setting, in your home or work environment, but ideally in a place where you can relax.
I am taking sound baths to places where they can be most benefited from, to people recovering from life impeding conditions, like MS and Cerebral Palsy, stroke patients, palliative care, into mental health via my local NHS Recovery College, and I am aiming to be able to take the sessions into schools, hoping to work with Behavioural Units for young people suffering from trauma, stress and anxiety.
Comments from a session,
"You were amazing. Any organisation out there looking for someone to work with individuals with learning difficulties, autism or elderly with dementia, Nathan is your man. He is amazing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful session." Helena Fitzhenry
The sound frequencies of the instruments played induce the alpha and theta brainwave states associated with deep meditation, and in this state deep healing and relaxation can take place.
Our bodies are wonderful carriers for sound vibrations. Every cell has receptors to pick up vibration, thus, frequency and sound have a very deep impact on our bodies.

Science and conventional medicine are also utilizing sound, such as ultrasound in diagnostic technology; lithotripsy (infrasonic sound) to break up kidney and gall stones; and recently in the treatment for tinnitus (TRT). Music and sound are used to treat patients with dementia, Alzheimer's, autism, stroke, premature babies to name but a few.
