I KNEW THAT SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE

I KNEW THAT SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE //

As I learn more modalities and see the profound and transformative effect they have on peoples lives I am inspired to continue on this journey and learn more

At our Wellbeing by the Lakes Festival at Sculpture by the Lakes I acquired my first singing bowl from the Tashi Lhunpo Monks who were there to create a beautiful sand mandala. In subsequent years I acquired more bowls from Ali Palmer at Soul Soothing Bowls. Then in 2023 I was creating a new sound sculpture and in order to learn more I attended a one day course with Ali to learn how to play the bowls. I never intended to start hosting sound baths, I was just inquisitive about sound. However after the course I started doing more research on sound and its effects on the mind and body, then I started witnessing the transformative results sound baths had on people I was hooked.

 

“Meditation can be difficult for many people, as they find it hard to switch off. Sound healing offers a prominent focus point, as your body and mind really tune into the different noises created by each instrument."

I am continuing to learn more and add different modalities to what I can offer. I have recently qualified as a SOMA Breath Instructor and am currently studying to become an Advanced Instructor. In addition I have done Certified Gong Training: Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3: accredited by Kundalini Yoga Teachers’ Association. Multi-instrument Sound Healing with the Academy of Sound Healing. 2025 will also see Yoga Nidra and Meditation added to my qualifications which will enable me to offer one day retreats coving a range of modalities all designed to relax, restore and nourish the soul.

  • Multi-instrument Sound Healing

  • Certified Gong Training: Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3

  • Yoga Nidra Training

  • Sound Bath Orchestration

“Simon’s sound bath was a powerful exploration into deep rest and healing. As a facilitator I have experienced many sound journeys, this experience was exceptional. I felt safe, gently held and deeply nurtured.”

Pip Taverner, Founder: Your Yoga Career

“The 90 minute session was utterly transformative. While each of us had a unique experience, we all shared a sense of profound calm and inner peace. I quickly relaxed, feeling the day's stress melt away. I entered a blissful, dreamlike state with swirling colours behind my eyelids. Each sound had a distinct vibration, pulling me deeper into the calm. I felt energy surging from my head to my toes and a distinct heaviness in my limbs—not disturbing, but unlike anything I'd experienced before.”

Nathalie Davis

“Attending the sound bath at the Retreat was a truly astonishing experience, unlike any other I have attended. Simon's gentle use of a range of instruments—including gongs, bowls, chimes, and drum—created a powerful soundscape that guided me on a profound inner journey. The candlelit interior, complete with a log burner, set the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and felt so warm and welcoming.”
