Guidance and Aftercare
Before & After Your Sound Session
Thank you for taking the time to pause with us.
Whether you're joining us for an in-person sound bath or listening through Simply Here, these simple guidelines will help you get the most from your experience and enjoy your session safely and comfortably.
Before You Begin
Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you can relax without interruption if possible.
Unless a session is specifically designed for walking, please don't listen while driving, cycling or operating machinery.
For the best sound experience, we recommend using headphones or speakers where possible, particularly for sound baths, as mobile phone speakers may not reflect the full depth of the sound.
Listen at a comfortable volume and adjust it if anything feels too loud or uncomfortable.
During Your Session
There is no right or wrong way to experience a session. Some days you may feel deeply relaxed. Other days your mind may wander, or you may simply enjoy a few quiet moments. Every experience is different.
If at any point you feel uncomfortable, simply open your eyes, sit upright, change position or stop the session. Listening to your body is always the most important guide.
Sound Bath Guidance
Our sound baths are designed to support relaxation and wellbeing.
If you have sound-induced epilepsy, severe tinnitus or hyperacusis, a pacemaker or implanted medical device, are in the first trimester of pregnancy, or have any medical condition that may be affected by sound or deep relaxation, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional before attending or listening.
If you are experiencing significant trauma, acute anxiety, psychosis or another serious mental health condition, you may also wish to seek professional guidance before taking part.
If you're ever unsure whether a sound bath is suitable for you, it's always best to check with your healthcare professional first.
After Your Session
Most people leave feeling calmer, clearer or more grounded. Others simply feel more relaxed or ready for an early night. Occasionally, you may notice thoughts or emotions that had previously been sitting quietly in the background. This is a normal response for some people and usually settles naturally with time.
To support yourself afterwards, you may find it helpful to:
-
Drink some water.
-
Eat something nourishing if needed.
-
Give yourself a few quiet moments before returning to a busy day.
-
Take a gentle walk if you feel like moving.
-
Rest earlier if your body feels tired.
There is no right or wrong way to feel after a session. Simply notice what you need and be kind to yourself.
A Gentle Reminder
Our sessions are designed to support relaxation and everyday wellbeing. They are not a substitute for medical, psychological or psychiatric care.
If you have any concerns about your health, or are unsure whether a session is appropriate for you, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional before taking part.
