Important Information
At the Serene Sound Sanctuary, your comfort & wellbeing is our priority.
Sound Baths are generally safe and deeply relaxing, however certain conditions may require additional awareness or guidance before attending. (Please see below)
General Guidance for all Attendees
To ensure a safe and supportive experience:
✨ Listen to your body at all times
✨ Adjust your position for comfort
✨ Take breaks if needed
By attending a session, you confirm that you are responsible for your own wellbeing and will listen to your body at all times.
Please do make me aware before attending if you have any allergies or sensitivities to incense, essential oils, or scented candles (these may occasionally be used)
Pregnancy
Sound baths are gentle, but during pregnancy — particularly in the first trimester —
the body can be more sensitive to:
• Vibrations
• Deep relaxation states
• Emotional shifts
It is recommended to:
• Consult your healthcare provider before attending
• Inform me in advance
• Ensure you are comfortable and well-supported during the session
Epilepsy
Sound baths are not recommended for individuals with sound-induced (auditory) epilepsy, as the use of immersive frequencies, vibrations, and layered tones may trigger seizures. Due to the unpredictable and intensive nature of the auditory stimuli, participation is not recommended.
Individuals with any form of epilepsy should seek medical advice before attending a session.
Sound Sensitivity/Highly Sensitive Individuals
If you identify as highly sensitive or have sensitivity to sound, you may experience:
• Heightened awareness of vibrations
• Emotional responses
• Occasional overstimulation
To support your experience:
•Inform me in advance
Position yourself further from the instruments
• Bring earplugs if preferred
• Allow yourself to step out if needed
Sound baths can still be beneficial, but it’s important to honour your own comfort levels.
Hearing Impaired or Deaf People
Sound baths are not only experienced through hearing, but also through vibration felt within the body.
Many hearing-impaired or Deaf individuals may still benefit from:
• The physical sensation of sound waves
• The calming environment and stillness
You are encouraged to:
• Position yourself closer to instruments if comfortable
• Communicate any needs in advance
I aim to create an inclusive and supportive space for all experiences.
Metal Plates, Implants or Medical Devices
Sound vibrations may travel through the body and interact subtly with areas where there are:
• Metal plates
• Joint replacements
• Implants
While generally safe,
some individuals may notice:
• Increased sensation
• Mild discomfort in specific areas
If this applies to you:
• Please inform me beforehand or during if needed
• Adjust your position if needed
• Trust your body and step out if anything feels uncomfortable
Mental Health Considerations
Sound baths can guide you into a deeply relaxed and introspective state, which may:
• Bring emotions to the surface
• Create a sense of vulnerability
• Heighten internal awareness
For individuals experiencing:
• Severe anxiety or panic disorders
• PTSD
• Depression (in certain stages)
• Psychosis or dissociation
It is recommended to:
• Seek professional advice before attending
• Inform the me where appropriate
• Prioritise your emotional safety throughout
You are always free to pause or step outside at any time.
