Soundbaths & Guided Relaxation

These community relaxation sessions offer a rare chance to step out of everyday stresses and experience deep rest. Sarah brings a musician’s touch and soothing voice to her Soundbaths — making each session beautifully nurturing and restorative.

Soundbaths — immersive sound experiences using gongs, singing bowls, chimes and soft percussion to guide people into deep calm. Each layer is created with musical sensitivity and intention, helping the mind quieten as the nervous system unwinds.

Guided Relaxation — deeply restorative sessions inspired by yoga nidra and body scan meditations. With gentle awareness prompts and subtle live sound, participants drift into effortless rest, releasing tension and reconnecting with a sense of inner ease.

What people say…

“An absolutely amazing experience. Deeply meditative, totally absorbed and the perfect way to relax, unwind and be present.”
– Participant Feedback
