Who are Serenity Saturdays for?

These indulgent saturday afternoons are for anyone needing a break from the day to day. For anyone who wants to retreat, rest, refresh, reinvigorate, and find the ultimate in relaxation...BUT without breaking the bank or having to take a whole day, or days, away from work or family.

ALL are welcome - all genders, ages, shapes and sizes, experience levels, and abilities are very welcome.

For Yoga, if you can get up and down from the floor, and you're fit enough to climb a flight of stairs, then you will be fit enough for my sessions.

For a Sound Bath,  you can either lie down, or sit in a chair or propped against a wall if needed/preferred. Just let me know so I can help you find what's comfortable.

What even is a Sound Bath!?

Every sound healer will run these sessions slightly differently and use different sounds. I personally use Crystal Singing bowls which are attuned to the 7 major energy centres or chakras in the centreline of the body. I also use 'Koshi Chimes' which resonate with the four elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. And I use an 'Ocean Drum' which makes a sound like waves on the shore. These are played separately and together to create both harmonies and some dissonant sounds. 

The purpose of the Sound Bath is to bathe in the vibrations created by the various instruments, allowing you drop into a more relaxed state of consciousness. 

Sound Vibrations pass through the whole body, not just the ear drum, and can create a variety of effects such as physical sensations, mental pictures or colours, emotional effects, energetic changes, and even spiritual experiences. 

For my sessions my main aim is always relaxation via release of tension. That tension may be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual/energetic, or a combination, and so the experience will be very unique to the individual. 

All experiences and valid and welcome. And there will be time to process and discuss these experiences if you wish before you leave at the end of your session.

What people say...

"It was the first time I'd ever been to a sound bath. It was an amazing experience. So relaxing. The sounds felt like they were in you. I went hoping it might help a little with my insomnia. I slept better than I have in months. Thank you again. I'll definitely be back."

"The setting was great and the room nice and cosy. I felt very relaxed, calm and a little emotional (in a good way) I also slept well.  So thank you for a lovely night."

"I felt very sort of dreamy and swirly and at my most relaxed. The whole experience was just perfect "
