The story of how Sweet Sound Waves came to be...
Welcome, I’m Katie and my discovery of sound healing came after years of trying out many different practices to feel better, after losing my mum very suddenly when I was a teenager...
She used to take me to meditation classes when I was little which I just used to fall asleep at! :)
It was at my friends day retreat where I experienced my first sound bath and it was love at first sound! I was so fascinated by what had just happened to me and knew instantly that I wanted to share this with others, to offer the same sense of peace and bliss that I’d just experienced...
I was soo excited unboxing my first bowl! I couldn’t wait until I got home to get it out and started playing it in my car. However after my first sound healing training, I discovered how blocked I was when trying to speak in front of a group. My body would shake, my throat felt choked and I was frozen with anxiety...
As I began to learn, this was from unresolved trauma that had remained in my body. Thanks to the many sessions of sound healing, coaches, transformative retreats, womens circles, the support of great friends and family and a course in improv acting... (it definitely takes a village)
Step by step I was able to slowly break through what was blocking me and started to host my first sound sessions...
Since then, Sweet Sound Waves was born and it’s been an honour to facilitate over 100 sound healing sessions for all of the people who have joined and to be witness to what has also shifted for them too. It will continue to be a journey of discovery and exploration that I’m so excited to be on for this lifetime...
Finding this beautiful, ancient healing modality has been the most amazing gift to my life and is why I want to share it with others. From the physical shifts in energy, to making new friends along the way, to pushing through fears like public speaking and opening up my voice, there has been so much growth.
My mission now is to help others through the power of sound; to feel better, to feel regulated, to release what has been blocked, to shift back into your natural state of being, to be able to open up your voice and learn practices that you can do every single day to support you, to create welcoming spaces of calm and connection to not only yourself but with others, to connect back to the heart and lead from that space, to explore and experience connection with nature and animals through in person longer experiences (specifically retreats combining horses and sound healing: coming soon!).
Sending the biggest thank you to my family, friends, coaches, teachers and other practitioners who have helped and supported me. I would not be here sharing what I love without each and every person.
And a moment to honour my beautiful mum, who was full of love and believed in the power of this work so much. When I was going through some things recently, I found one of her Tibetan singing bowls which I now use in my sound baths to bring in a beautiful grounding energy, that feels really special.
I hope to welcome you to a sound session soon.
Love, Katie x
