Sound Relaxation Margaret River

03/09/2026

A Sound Bath is so much more than simply picking up a mallet and playing a bowl. There is a lot to learn - because not every sound experience is automatically relaxing 🙏

After more than 16 years of working with sound, I’ve facilitated everything from intimate sessions with just two people to outdoor Sound Baths for more than 250. And over those years, I’ve learned that the real art is not simply in what you play, but how you create the whole experience.

My Sound Bath Facilitation Workshop is very dear to my heart. I’ve refined and re-refined it over the years to make it practical, accessible and easy to apply.

I’ll share my tips and tricks, the do’s and don’ts, and - most importantly - give you a clear structure for creating a safe, relaxing and people-centred Sound Bath experience.

✨ No previous experience required
🥣 Everything you need is provided in the studio
💻 Join us in person or online

Our Next Sound Bath Facilitation Workshop:
📅 October 24–25
🕤 9:30am–5:30pm AWST

Sounding September | Coming Together for Nepal 🤍

Throughout Sounding September, practitioners from across Australia - along with some of our international friends in Japan and Taiwan - are hosting sound events in support of the Boris Hess Foundation in Bhaktapur, each contributing within their own community while united by one shared purpose.

These events were already being lovingly planned before the recent devastating floods and landslides in Nepal. Since then, we’ve heard from Naresh, who runs the Boris Hess Foundation, that thankfully everyone in Bhaktapur is safe. However, very sadly, the school in Betrawati that was built by the Foundation after the 2015 earthquake has been washed away by the recent flooding.

While Sounding September supports the Foundation’s longer-term education and humanitarian projects, this news makes the importance of ongoing support feel even more present. Every contribution helps strengthen the work being done for communities in Nepal 🙏

Sounding September is about what can happen when we come together - different practitioners, different places, one sound community supporting something beyond ourselves.

We would love for you to be part of it 👇

Whether you join an event or simply help us spread the word, your support is deeply appreciated.

From my heart to yours,

Happy 1st of September everyone! A new month, a new newsletter from our sound space for anyone interested - 🤍 Sound, Rising Energy & Creating ripples

Happy 1st of September Djilba/Spring is definitely in the air here in our beautiful Margaret River Region, and you can feel the energy beginning to rise. The days are getting longer, nature is waking up, and there is that beautiful sense of renewal and possibility that comes with a new season. I hop...

Okay… this one might be a little provocative....

I’m not here to discredit anyone or tell people how they should work. There is absolutely a beautiful place for intuition in sound work.

In fact, I believe intuition can be a beautiful part of working with sound - when it is grounded in knowledge, training and experience.

I’ve watched the sound space grow enormously over the years, and while that growth is exciting, I’ve also observed a lot of “hit and miss” approaches along the way.

And it got me thinking… Would we trust an intuitive hairdresser, chef or doctor without training?

These are deliberately exaggerated examples, of course. But they raise an interesting question:

Why do we value knowledge and training so highly in some areas, yet sometimes overlook them when it comes to sound? 🤔

There is nothing wrong with exploring sound intuitively for yourself. In fact, it can be a beautiful form of self-care and personal exploration.

But when we move from working on ourselves to working with other people, the responsibility changes.

Someone is placing their trust in us. And sound is powerful. For me, intuition and knowledge have to go hand in hand.

That’s what we believe in and what we aim to convey through our trainings - building knowledge, experience and understanding while also developing the ability to listen, feel and work intuitively.

Just putting the question out there… what do you think? 🤍

✨A grounded approach to working with sound…

What I value about the Peter Hess® method is the combination of decades of experience, clear principles, and a deep respect for the individual.

In a growing field with many different approaches, having a strong foundation matters.

Mindfulness. Safety. Appreciation. Presence.

And the understanding that less is more.

It’s not about fixing or forcing - it’s about creating a supportive space where relaxation, awareness, and connection can naturally unfold.

This is why I continue to share this approach with people who want to work with sound in a responsible, meaningful, and authentic way 🤍
