Soundbaths in Botley, Hampshire

What is a soundbath?

A soundbath is an arrangement of instruments played in a way to induce a near-sleep state which many people find relaxing. Whether you're looking for a new experience or just want to chill out and let the sound wash over you, I want to show you how sound can help you find that inner space and beauty inside all of us.

The benefits of sound

I've regularly blogged about how sound can help us which you can check out here. There are many things that can influence an experience in a soundbath, but everything I do is rooted in scientific principles and evidence-led research. It could be a drumbeat influencing your heart rate or the effect of using different tones to stimulate or relax your nervous system. Whether it's to disconnect from stress, pain, even trauma or just to simply rest so deeply; it's something I think everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

About me

My name is Andy and my journey into sound therapy started way back in 2015 when I was diagnosed with chronic PTSD. It was like being in a movie of my own life. I felt broken and beyond repair and I struggled like hell to get help from the NHS and while I waited, I experimented with meditation and sound. And over those months, I now know I reprogrammed my trauma. Not content with having PTSD, I'm also neuro-divergent. I'm a proper alphabet soup! But these experiences have helped me help others, so after I spent 3 years training as a Sound Therapy practitioner I not only can help people in a 1-2-1 capacity but I can also run group soundbaths. I also finally trained as a meditation instructor. I've worked with other companies to help their staff with their mental health and I regularly share tips to help others.

February - Self-Care Masterclass

Join me for an afternoon in a yurt in a quiet location where I will show you a variety of meditation & sound therapy techniques and the science behind how we can hack our nervous system to lead a happy, peaceful and productive life.
