⭐ What is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is a meditative and healing experience where you are bathed in the soothing vibrations of various instruments, including crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. The resonance of these beautiful sounds guides you into a state of profound relaxation, relieving stress and anxiety, while harmonizing your body and mind.
During a sound bath, the brainwave state is altered from a normal waking state (beta) to a relaxed state (alpha), dreamlike state (theta), and even restorative state (delta). This happens through a phenomenon called entrainment, where the brain waves sync to the sound waves. This overrides our thinking mind, and our mind rests. As the mind and body relax, the heart rate and blood pressure decrease and our breathing becomes deeper. This is an excellent modality for stress reduction and nervous system regulation. This is a passive form of meditation, no need to 'do' anything but ensure your body is comfortable and receives the harmonizing sounds.
⭐ Why Attend:
✨ Deep Relaxation: As you lay or sit comfortably, the sounds will wash over you, melting away tension and leaving you in a state of bliss.
✨ Stress Relief: The resonance of the instruments will help release stress and promote a profound sense of calm.
✨ Inner Exploration: The labyrinth's symbolism and the sound vibrations will guide you on an inward journey to self-discovery.
✨ Enhanced Well-Being: Experience a greater sense of balance, inner peace, and rejuvenation.
✨ Candlelit Ambiance: The venue's warm candlelit ambiance adds a touch of magic, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that enhances the entire experience.

⭐ About Kelly
Kelly Gray is a trauma-informed healer with a unique gift for bridging science and spirituality. She trained with Dr. Gabor Maté, deepening her understanding of compassionate inquiry and trauma healing. Kelly has also journeyed with plant medicines and dietas in the traditional ways of the Shipibo people, immersing herself in the ancient healing wisdom of the Amazon. She has been initiated into the Andean Mystical Arts by the Q’ero elders of Peru, learning to weave the sacred energies of the Andes into her work.
Kelly’s area of focus in her client work is helping women heal from a Mother Wound—transforming patterns rooted in childhood emotional neglect into pathways of empowerment, self-compassion, and wholeness.
In addition to her expertise in trauma healing and spiritual practices, Kelly is a certified practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), offering clients a transformative journey of self-discovery through this profound modality. Her work blends the wisdom of QHHT, plant medicine, energy practices, trauma-informed coaching, and sound healing to guide individuals toward empowerment and self-discovery.
Music is also a vital thread in Kelly’s life. A trained classical vocalist and trombonist, she is most recently exploring the ethereal tones of the lyre. For Kelly, musical expression is a sacred artistic outlet—an extension of her healing work that opens the heart, nourishes the soul, and creates connection through sound.
