Designed to go deeper than simple relaxation, each session invites you to drop below the surface, into the quiet, the healing, the remembering.

What to expect from an aerial sound bath
An Aerial Sound bath is a deeply restorative sound journey where you are gently suspended in a soft hammock—allowing your body to completely let go as sound and vibration wash over you.
Unlike a traditional sound bath where you lie on a mat, the hammock supports your spine, relieves pressure on joints, and encourages a natural unwinding of tension in both the body and mind.
From the moment you arrive, your senses are gently invited into a new rhythm.
Soft lighting, the scent of sacred oils, the cool curve of fabric holding your body, and the slow, spacious sound of gongs, bowls, and handpan weaving around you.

Why is a multi-sensory experience so different?
Each session is curated to engage your entire sensory system:
💨 Scent: We use natural essential oils like sandalwood, rose, frankincense, or blue lotus to support emotional release and grounding.
🎵 Sound: Layered live instruments move through the room—low tones for the body, high tones for the mind, pulses that help your brainwaves slow and settle.
🪶 Touch: The hammock offers gentle, even pressure across the body—calming the nervous system and helping you feel safe and held.
🌌 Space: A carefully held environment that invites you to unplug from the noise of daily life and drop fully into yourself.
