Hi Reader,

Let’s take a deeper dive into the why behind sound healing—because while it may feel magical, there’s solid science that explains why it works so beautifully, especially for trauma survivors.

At the center of it all is your nervous system—and more specifically, the vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in your body, connecting your brainstem to your heart, lungs, digestive tract, and—interestingly—your ears. That’s right: part of the vagus nerve innervates the middle ear.

That means sound is a direct line to your nervous system.

Think about it:

• When you hear a heavy metal song, do you feel calm? Or does your heart race a little faster, your body tense, maybe even your thoughts speed up?
• When a sad love song comes on, do you feel angry? Or are you moved to tears, filled with longing or tenderness?

This is sound working on your nervous system.
And it’s working instantly.

Sound is one of the oldest and most powerful ways to stimulate emotional responses and regulate the autonomic nervous system—which controls how safe or unsafe your body feels.

When you're in a Sound Healing Session, we intentionally use ancient healing frequencies—like Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, the gong, and tuning forks—that gently activate your parasympathetic nervous system. This is your rest-and-digest state, the opposite of fight, flight, or freeze.

What does that mean for you?

🌿 Your breath deepens.
🌿 Your heart rate slows.
🌿 Your body begins to remember what it feels like to be safe, calm, and present.

And with your intention, we amplify that healing.
Frequency becomes medicine.

For those healing from trauma, this is a gentle, nonverbal pathway back into the body. You don’t have to talk about what happened. You don’t even have to “figure it out.” Your nervous system begins to unwind. Your energy starts to flow. And healing begins—without force or retraumatization.

If this speaks to your soul, you can book a 1:1 or small group in-person session this May (Bergen County, NJ).
​Online sessions are coming soon!
