When you are in a deeply relaxed and safe space, your parasympathetic system is activated and you are able to free yourself from the 'fight or flight' that we so often reside in. Within that restful state, your body is free to activate its own optimal function and the 'sound side effects' can begin to arrive. Some examples can include decreased pain, lowered blood pressure, increased circulation, reduction of anxiety symptoms and a feeling of "letting go" of thoughts that do not serve our wellbeing, relief from nerve damage, increased body awareness of issues that may not have been consciously known, and more. It is worth repeating here that each session will be different for each person, and no end results are predictable. Each massage is an individual experience and one that can change based on your current state of wellbeing and own perception and awareness of sound and resonance.

​

In a Peter Hess® Sound Massage, we emphasize the principle of "Less is More". We believe that more effective self-awareness and healing can come from gentle nurturing. The first three sessions keep to the same protocol to assist you with knowing how the resonance affects your own body and to gain familiarity and trust. Following your third session, further individualized care and attention can be give to areas of need.

​

Because the body is made up of approximately 75% liquid, it is very good at conducting sound. With this in mind, it can be understood how the sound can then travel through your body to target "stuck" areas that you may (or may not!) be aware exist.

A Peter Hess® Sound Massage is a gentle, yet powerful sound healing experience in which intentionally crafted therapy singing bowls are placed directly on and/or immediately around the body and tapped gently to facilitate a deep, relaxing and therapeutic experience. The massage is performed fully clothed and there is no direct contact between the practitioner and the client as we let the sound do the work. Each bowl placement is intentional and works with the body's own frequencies and resonance to facilitate a massage experience that taps into the recipient's physical body (external and internal) and energetic field.

​

The primary application of a sound massage is to facilitate deep relaxation for the mind, body and soul. However, a host of "sound side effects" can often be felt during and after the experience. Each massage is an individual experience and one that can change based on your current state of well-being and own perception and awareness of sound and resonance.

​

Some health needs may require a doctor's release - these can be discussed further with your sound massage practitioner.

​

The aim of the session is not to "fix" you or your symptoms, but rather to assist you in getting to a state of safety, feeling nurtured, trust, peace, and ability to 'let go'. Each session can look different from the next and is a highly individualized and intentional process.

​

The primary intent of sound massage is deep relaxation and a return to self.
