So what is Sound Therapy?
It is the therapeutic use of sound frequencies to promote health and harmony in a person’s body, mind, emotions or spirit. The tools we might use to bring about this state change are the voice (toning vowel sounds, using mantras), tuning forks, and/or the use of one or more instruments (e.g. Gong, singing bowls, chimes, drums and percussion instruments, etc.).
I often combine therapies, as appropriate, but we can discuss the options you would like to try at the start of a treatment.

“I just wanted to update and thank you. To start, I didn’t notice a change in [daughter], however, as the weeks went on she seems to have come out of herself more. Like an invisible barrier has been lifted. When I discussed this with her last week she agreed and feels less held back. This is fantastic, so thank you very much.”
Teenage client, Biofield Tuning (distance) treatment given in August 2023, feedback from mother September 2023 – 5 weeks later
This is what Eileen McKusick (founder) says about Biofield Tuning
“The term biofield refers to our body’s electrical system in its entirety – both the electric current that runs through our bodies, and the magnetic field that surrounds it. Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy method that works directly with this system, seeing it as inextricably connected with our conscious and subconscious mind, including our memories”.
What Happens in a Biofield Tuning Treatment? [link to the full article here]
The practitioner is feeling for resistance and turbulence in the client’s energy field, as well as listening for a change in the overtones and undertones of the tuning fork. When the practitioner encounters a turbulent area, he/she continues to activate the tuning fork and hold it in that specific spot. Research suggests the body’s organizational energy uses the steady coherent vibrational frequency of the tuning fork to “tune” itself. In short order, the dissonance resolves, and the sense of resistance gives way. … As the biofield dissonance subsides, clients generally report feeling “lighter” and a diminishment or resolution of their symptoms.” [https://www.biofieldtuning.com/what-is-biofield-tuning]
What are Online Distance Treatments on Zoom? How do they work? You can lie on your own bed/sofa or sit in a comfortable chair, covered with a blanket. You should be somewhere quiet and restful and plan not to be disturbed for the whole treatment time and for a little while after. You will need a good, stable internet connection and reasonable speakers – I use a high quality, professional mic and I recommend that you use headphones to get the best sound. You will also need to download the free Zoom app on your device (and practice using it with a friend to get familiar with how to join/leave the meeting, turn your camera on and off, and how to mute/unmute your microphone). I will lay out a crystal grid on a table to represent your body and then proceed as though you were in the room with me. For 1-2-1 treatments, we will keep our cameras and mics on so we can communicate during the treatment. For group sound sessions on Zoom, such as Relax & Recharge, participants don’t need to have their camera on and, once we start the session, they need to mute themselves.
See Reviews and Feedback page to read the lovely comments from my clients across the UK and the world who regularly have treatments on Zoom.
2. MST – MYOFASCIAL SONIC THERAPY
45 mins – 60 mins – 75 mins – 90 mins (also ‘TASTER’ sessions £20 for 15 mins – ‘try before you buy’!)
Tuning fork vibrational therapies, including Vibrational Fascia Release Technique. Clients say it is like a “sonic massage” or “sonic physio”. An effective treatment for humans and animals.
PAIN RELIEF, REDUCTION OF INFLAMMATION, INCREASED MOBILITY, LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, SPEEDS UP HEALING
This is the use of weighted tuning forks used on the body to: relax muscles; assist in releasing tight fascia; help stimulate the lymphatic system to work more effectively; help improve blood circulation where there is stiffness, pain or inflammation to promote recovery. The tuning fork provides the muscles and fascia with gently stimulating sound waves, it is non-invasive and clients can remain clothed if not combining with essential oils. From experience, clients usually notice an improvement in the area being worked after their first treatment (contact me to discuss health concerns and contra-indications).
Rejuvenation treatment using Myofascial Sonic Therapy
Here we sculpt the face, neck and shoulders, minimising all the usual suspects …. puffiness, jowls, bags under the eyes, wrinkles, double chin, ‘thick’ neck, dull complexion, acne.
“Being a therapist myself, but in different modalities, I am delighted to have found Lorraine and sound therapies … I can switch off and let her get on with it. I have had numerous treatments, some are a little painful as we work on my sluggish Lymphatic System, some have been sheer bliss! Now we are adding ‘face lift’ to end my treatment … Wow what a difference! I can’t recommend Lorraine enough, lovely lady, knowledgeable and very professional”.
Jane, Therapist.
3. VCT – VIBRATIONAL CHRONO THERAPY
45 mins or 60 mins. In person.
A FOLLOW-ON TREATMENT, USED AFTER DEALING WITH PAIN, FASCIA AND FLUID ISSUES.
USED WHERE THERE IS A PATTERN OR RHYTHM ISSUE IN THE BRAIN (WHERE THE TIMING IS ‘OFF’)
A HELPFUL SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE WITH THE FOLLOWING ISSUES:
- ‘Walk and Talk’ (central pattern generator issue): stutter, slurred speech, paralysis rehab, Parkinson’s, MS
- Motor Function Conditions (central rhythm generator issue): ‘phantom limb’, paralysis rehab, tremors, Parkinson’s, MS, Huntington’s, cerebral palsy, physical therapy, injury and surgery rehab, dyslexia, balance, tinnitus, blurred vision, clumsiness (proprioception issues), hiccups, restless legs
- Cognitive conditions (memory – storage and recall, behavioural, emotional): dementia, repressed memory, arrested development, addiction recovery, mental health issues – psychosis, bipolar, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, depression, ADHD, OCD, autistic spectrum disorder
This treatment uses unweighted tuning forks about 3-5 inches off the body. The sensors in the skin relay the vibration to the brain, helping it to re-map the geography of the body. The vibration brings the brain and body into synchronisation. ‘Brain tuning’ using binaural beats (generated by tuning forks) work to reset and sync your internal ‘clocks’.

4. CLASSIC SOUND HEALING THERAPY – Voice & Instruments
45 mins and 60 mins. online or in person.
AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR STRESS REDUCTION, RELAXATION, RESTORE BALANCE, PROMOTES EMOTIONAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING, VERY GENTLE AND NURTURING. ALSO, AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR SHAMANIC JOURNEYING, IF YOU ARE ON THAT PATH.
In this treatment I mostly use the voice to tone vowel sounds which vibrate over and through the body. This is called ‘toning’. As well as toning, I may also use some instruments (gongs, singing bowls, chimes, percussion instruments). This is wonderfully relaxing and nurturing, particularly for stress and restoring balance. I trained with the College of Sound Healing and here I learnt about the power of the voice. There is an old saying that “The voice is the only instrument made by God. All other instruments are made by man”.

5. ‘SOUNDZ AMAZING’ – Sound Baths with a twist! Private hire for your group at your venue
£150 up to 10 participants / £250 up to 25 participants (plus travel costs if outside of Malvern).

“Deep rest and relaxation are the goal, says Auster. “Sound can bring balance, relaxation, and a sense of wholeness to the body. The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs, and other overtone-emitting instruments is intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves, which are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.”
https://www.everydayhealth.com/alternative-health/sound-baths-soothing-stress-with-sound/

90 minute session: £95 for 1-2-1 treatment, or come with a friend £140 for both of you.
Contact me to book direct.
“Many people hear a calling to connect with the Cacao Spirit. This calling is described as curiosity, a longing for more connection, a whisper in the heart or a strong voice to reconnect with Mother Nature. Cacao is more than chocolate, it is a spiritual dimension, an intelligence that we cannot perceive with the mind, but with the heart, the intuition and through feelings.”
….. for more information about Cacao and Cacao Ceremony, I recommend you visit https://www.cacaomama.com/cacao-in-ceremony/
The gong is a wonderfully powerful healing instrument, taking you into a deep state of relaxation and altering your brain wave states, taking you from Beta down through Alpha to Theta (some even fall asleep and go into Delta waves!). I combine light frequencies (therapeutic use of colour) with Gongs, Buffalo Base Drum, Solfeggio tubular bells, Solfeggio tuning forks, Koshi chimes, percussion instruments, crystal bowls, singing bowls and vocal toning to create a magical soundscape for you to float through.
In addition, a bespoke selection of essential oils and crystals will be specially selected to support your emotional and mental wellbeing. The frequencies of the sounds, oils and crystals can help support healing on all levels. On a physical level, deep relaxation gives your body the best opportunity for cellular repair and regeneration.
I will also send you home with your customised essential oils blend in an inhaler (normally £8+).
If you would like it, I can also use my pendulum to draw a comforting and encouraging oracle card for you at the start of the session to further support your healing journey during the treatment (Denise Linn’s Native Spirit or Soul Coaching / Alana Fairchild’s Kuan Yin).
