Guidance & Frequently Asked Questions

I warmly invite all clients to explore this guidance before booking. It’s designed to help you relax, recalibrate and thrive.

What is a Sound Bath?

A Sound Bath is a holistic therapy where you lie back and are immersed in healing vibrations from instruments such as crystal or Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. These soothing frequencies help quiet the mind, balance energy, and deeply relax both body and spirit.

Many people describe it as a “massage for the mind and body” that supports both emotional balance and physical wellbeing. Sound healing can shift brainwaves into alpha, theta, and delta states – helping you access deep meditation, restorative rest and calm.

• Medical conditions – Please declare any heart, brain or spine conditions, pacemakers or implanted devices before attending.

 

What Should I Bring to a Sound Bath?

To make your experience as effortless as possible:

• I provide mats, eye pillows and blankets for comfort

• Please bring:

  • A small cushion or pillow (for your head or knees)

  • A bottle of water to stay hydrated

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring layers in case your body cools during deep relaxation.

 

What Happens After a Sound Bath? (After-Care)

It’s common to experience:

• Emotional release – laughter, tears or a sense of peace

• Physical shifts – tiredness, headache or more frequent toilet visits

• A sense of lightness, clarity or deep calm

These are natural signs your body and energy are rebalancing. Rest, hydrate and allow emotions to flow without judgement. If you ever feel uncertain after a session, Kimberley welcomes follow-up messages or even a grounding walk.

​

For Reiki, you simply bring yourself. Kimberley provides a comfortable treatment couch, blankets and everything required.

Sessions can take place:

• In person (at your home, Opulence, or Goldney House in Chipping Sodbury)

• Or arranged as distance Reiki healing

More information can be found via the Reiki Federation.
