Sound Baths and Healing Sessions

Featured

I host regular Sound Baths in London, Glastonbury and, annually, in Peru!. 
This experience guides you into a deep meditative state using the sounds of Crystal Singing Bowls. The sounds emitted from the bowls are enchanting harmonic tones reminiscent of an angelic choir. The bowls create a feeling of peace in a loving and compassionate way, bringing us back into perfect balance and harmony.

In Fulham – Still & Sound: An Astrological Sound Bath – Sunday 19th July, 6pm:

In Vauxhall – My Weekly Soul Healing Sound Bath – Thursday 25th June 2026, 7pm:

I also offer one to one Soul Healing sessions, using the Crystal Bowls, which aim to remove blockages to the energy flow within the chakras, aura and physical body; to relax, re-align and balance the body, mind, heart and soul.

Still & Sound – Astrological Sound Baths in London

I am delighted to join the Still & Sound community at Nomad Books on 31st May.

For three years I have been performing astrological sound baths… the harmonies of planetary frequencies… every month at the Glastonbury Goddess Temple. Now I will be able to bring those Astrological Harmonies to Nomad Books in Fulham.

Each Crystal Bowl I play is the musical note of a planet’s revolution. Astrological insights come from two or more Planets joining together in a harmony. My Sound Bath will be the harmonies of the Planets, as they are on the night of 31st May. 

So each performance is unique and can never be performed again. Don’t miss it!

Here is a recording of the Sound Bath I performed in Glastonbury last week…

Easter Sunday in Glastonbury

If you’re spending a, Easter Weekend in Glastonbury, I’m returning to my monthly Astrological Soundbath in the Goddess Temple this coming Sunday at 7.30pm.

See may page on Astrological Sound Baths for how that works…

This weekend we have a huge cluster of Planets all hovering around Aries giving a huge energy boost in all sides of our lives. But this cluster focuses energy on what is happening on the opposite side – the emptier segment of sky. Here we find White Moon Selena who has just moved into Virgo for seven months.

White Moon Selena shows us the highest parts of our being – what we are called to strive towards. In Virgo She shows us our greatest powers and encourages us to use them in service to those we hold dear – a sorely needed energy in this divisive time. With all the Planets in Aries opposite, We are urged to fill a gap in our lives by helping those around us.

In my Astrological Soundbath you will hear these energies as sound harmonies, permeating our souls and embedding this astrological pattern directly into our centres.

Come along on Sunday. No need to book, just drop in. But my Bank Holiday events do tend to be busy. Come early to get a good spot!

Planetary Soundscapes – Astrology in Sound for 3rd – 9th February 2025

Here in Lima, I’m playing this week’s astrology in sound, working with the Cosmic Octave. 

Highlights of the week starting with the Venus Neptune Conjunction in Pisces, ending with the Sun Mercury Conjunction in Aquarius and a loving-the-world Venus Pluto sextile throughout most of it. And there’s a welcome jolt of confidence back in our lives with the Jupiter retrograde ending on Tuesday.

3rd February.

Dreams of romance may stay just that, today. Your feelings are true and strong, but it’s difficult find the confidence to overcome shyness.

4th February

It can be difficult to put your feelings into words, especially when those around you don’t seem to be respecting your feelings. But you will find your voice when it counts.

5th February 

It’s not a good day for dealing with the world. Step back and work through any feelings of unease and contrariness. You will feel better for it later.

6th February

Stop and smell the roses (well, snowdrops, I suppose). Feel the beauty of the world around you and charge up your spirit. Don’t let conflict touch you.

7th February

Get that Friday Feeling. Go out and have fun. But be mindful as it is very easy to get talked into things at the moment.

8th February

Romantic dreams are hit with a dose of reality as you hear some truths that may hit you hard. But your friends are there for you.

9th February

A good day for introspection and meditation. Keep yourself away from a lot of noise outside so you can get in touch with your true feelings.
