Sound Assisted Therapy

Sound Assisted Therapy is the intentional use of sound in the therapy process to help bring deeper resolution and healing to the mind and body.

Our world is filled with sound. Imagine the last time you heard a loud, unpleasant and unexpected noise. Your body may have jumped involuntarily, you may have experienced irritation and been left with an unsettled sensation and an increased heart rate. This is the activation of your sympathetic nervous system. In contrast, take a moment to recall your favourite sound, waves at the beach, your favourite song, or a loved one’s voice. These sounds often induce a sense of calm or peace within you, and your body likely responds with a slow and steady heart rate and breath cycle. This is the activation of your parasympathetic nervous system. Sound is powerful!

Sound has direct physiological impacts on the body and our emotional and mental states. Therefore, we can use it with the intention to support the mind and body toward optimal well-being.

What Is Sound Assisted Therapy?

How Does It Work?

The therapeutic use of sound can help integrate the cognitive learning that often occurs in therapy deeper into the body. This integration helps to bridge the gap between knowing and feeling. This can increase a felt sense of restored safety and balance in your system.

What Can It Help With?

Sound Assisted Therapy can help with:

  • Chronic stress

  • Anxiety

  • Trauma

  • Restoring safe connection to the body

  • Mindfulness

Embodiment. Anxiety often causes a sense of disembodiment when we spend a lot of time in our heads, thinking, worrying, and ruminating. Returning safely to our bodies and the present moment can take practice to gain comfort. Sound can assist with this.

Relaxation. Living with chronic stress is a strain on the mind and body. Many clients report that experiencing sound-assisted therapy is deeply relaxation and neurologically soothing.  

Integration. Often clients report cognitively understanding concepts learned in therapy but have difficulty integrating them into a felt sense in the body. Carefully selecting intentions and focusing on these while experiencing therapeutic bineaural sound can help pair the intention with a felt sense of safety and calm.    

What Changes Do Clients See/Feel?

Clients often describe a profound sense of calm and emotional relief after sessions. Those struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma report feeling lighter, more grounded, and connected. The intensity of racing thoughts or emotional overwhelm begins to fade, creating space for clarity and relaxation. Over time, clients notice increased emotional resilience, improved mood, and a deeper sense of inner peace, which helps them manage stress more effectively and heal from past experiences.
