This unique and empowering combination of deep physical, emotional and mental relaxation partnered with the supported reflective process treats the whole person physically, emotionally and mentally.
What is a BAST Sound Therapy Session?
A wonderfully powerful alternative to traditional talking therapies and a highly effective way to deal with physical, emotional and psychological pain and tension.
One-to-One BAST Sound Therapy combines therapeutic sound and guided reflective questioning to improve health and wellbeing and to enable very deep relaxation.
The sounds are created using Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls and drums, which are played in very specific ways, tailored to the individual. The specific playing methods have been shown to have a deeply therapeutic and relaxing effect on body and mind.
The reflective questioning is person centered and is a kind of questioning which helps you to look within yourself for answers and solutions.

Clients use one to one sound therapy for many reasons including general relaxation, or stress-relief, support going through a difficult time, working on a longer term condition or pattern of thinking or behaviour and finding a way to live with more flow and creativity.
The BAST method is underpinned by a great deal of science and research and which over the past 25years has become respected around the world.
Why choose the BAST method?
The body mind connection is now widely understood to be very strong. The body affects the mind and the mind affects the body. When we are in physical pain this affects or emotional and mental wellbeing and when we are experiencing emotional or mental difficulties our bodies are also affected.
The BAST method works with sound to relax body and mind while the reflective enquiry helps the client to see and explore their whole self, situation, perceptions, actions, obstacles and solutions more clearly.
Over the past 25years clients have reported that BAST sound therapy has helped them with a wide range of physical, emotional and mental difficulties.
How sound works
When we hear sound we respond physiologically. Our heart rate, brain waves, muscles, chemical make-up and thoughts all change. We can therefore harness sound to create deep relaxation.
During a sound therapy session I use specific instruments tones, rhythms, volumes and tone intervals to take you on a journey which will enable you to release tension and enter a deep altered consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. In that state of deep relaxation the entire physiological system calms and renews, physical and emotional pain can subside and the mind can let go of surface ‘chatter’ so that deeply known insights can surface.
Humans have been using sound in this way for at least hundreds of years but now we have science to show us what actually happens in the body and brain when we hear sounds.
