About the practice
I lead crystal bowl sessions for small groups, private clients, and people joining live from home. My approach is quiet and practical: we begin with a short check-in, agree on comfortable sound levels, and leave time at the end to reorient before anyone drives or returns to work. I use quartz bowls, voice, gentle percussion, and simple breathing cues. My training includes two years of supervised sound-facilitation study, continuing education in trauma-aware group practice, and regular peer consultation. Beginners are welcome. Chairs, floor mats, eye pillows, and lower-volume seating are available.
