SOUND HEALING
WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?
Sound healing offers deep relaxation, gentle healing and rejuvenation using beautiful sounds, such as voice, gong, drum, Tibetan bowls, crystal singing bowls, seed shakers, koshi chimes and tuning forks. It is vibrational medicine, and has been used throughout history and in indigenous cultures to restore, heal, reveal the unconscious, journey, and ultimately transform the body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit. Ritual and rites of passage, healing, meditation, spiritual practice, parents soothing their children with voice and song - all utilise the power of sound. Sound healing offers deep relaxation and rejuvenation as well as deeper work on cellular, emotional and spiritual levels.
ABOUT ME
I am a certified sound healing therapist and teacher for both groups and 1:1. I studied with the Sound Healing Academy in the UK, and taught with them for 9 years in London, Glastonbury and Melbourne. I am now based in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, NSW, and run sound immersions and 1:1 sessions. I also work with other teachers such as breath facilitators, dancers etc under the banner of 'Women of the Dark Moon.'
I have a BA with Honours in Contemporary music, and a PhD in Humanities investigating sources of inspiration when composing music.
I also studied with Eileen McKusick focusing on tuning forks (level 1and 2), attended gongs workshops held by Sheila Whittaker, voice / ancestral work with Jill Purce, and a voice intensive with Suntara (Daniel Coates). I studied the benefits of ceremonial cacao with Cacao Amour in the UK, and furthered my Shamanic studies with The Four Winds, USA, and the Foundation for Shamanic studies.
I’ve always been drawn to the healing qualities of music and song. Sound healing offers a pure form of this, using rhythm, tone, altered states and intention. My first experience was mystical: it brought clarity and peace, and I felt more aligned with my own path. It changed me, and deepened my connection to myself, to soul and to spirit.

Testimonials
"Inga creates a beautifully ambient and relaxing atmosphere. A deep relaxation, entwined with ethereal sounds. A truly blissful experience."
Andrea, Musician and music therapist, UK
"Inga is a natural, true, and divine healer. My sessions with her proved to be a profound healing experience of the highest standard. Her unique and powerful techniques and holistic energetic connectivity healed me to my bones. I have three bulged discs in my lumber spine, causing ongoing pain and discomfort. I tried numerous avenues of acupuncture, massage, and physiotherapy – to no avail. Inga balanced my chakras and played one of her Tibetan bowls on my lower back. The vibrations, guided by her soft swirling vocals filled me with peace and instant pain relief. I highly recommend Inga’s services to all and everybody."
Imogen, Therapist, Australia
"My first sound healing session with Inga was amazing. Inga is a talented healer and instrumentalist with a lovely soothing voice. While bathing in the sounds of the sacred instruments I was completely transported into a state of bliss. I particularly enjoyed feeling the vibrations of the Tibetan singing bowls on my stomach and the shamanic drum. For the first time I could sense the energetic field around my body and visualize its colors. I highly recommend booking a one-on-one sound healing session with her."
Tanya, Filmmaker and Professor, Virginia, USA.
"I experienced a sound bath following a yoga session and found I felt so amazingly relaxed following the session.
I was speaking to my Pilates teacher about my sound bath experience and she recommended Inga's sound healing. Just talking to Inga I felt her amazing energy. The sound experience was the best experience of my life other than giving birth to my daughters.
During the session I enjoyed listening to the various bowls and gongs Inga played al- though most of the time I was in such a re- laxed state I wasn't sure what was actually happening. Since the session I've not suffered from insomnia that had been a real problem for years. I feel the most relaxed and happiest I have felt for years.
Since my session I've told anyone who would listen about the amazing experience."
Sue. UK
"I love the variety of sounds from the gongs and bowls to the bells and chimes. Also Inga's voice is beautiful and hypnotic. It's a real journey!"
Sarah, UK.
"Three good reasons I would like to recommend Inga's sound bath.
1. The real therapeutic benefits : during my sessions I was able to find peace and feel relaxed; guided by her voice and the instruments I let go of tensions in my body. She helped me to prepare for an operation I had to take and felt the soothing effects in the following days (less stressed, less worried, more accepting).
2. The emotional experience :
Inga's sound bath allows our mind to travel where we want in a very personal way; indeed in went back and felt the safe moments of a my childhood, I walked in the rice fields in Bali, I sat on a quiet beach of France - with her by my side.
3. The practitioner herself :
the best sound bath session is not just about the sound, it is about who runs it. Inga is a natural caring soul, she is kind and giving/ generous, her voice is warm and comforting. I feel safe and taken care of completely.
And lastly, even though it is great to be in the same room together, I did my sessions via Zoom and i did not feel any distance between us and the sound."
Christine, France
