Specialist Therapies

AT EMMA’S SOUND ROOM

MEET EMMA…

In 1988, I became a qualified Beauty Therapist with CIDESCO and BABTAC/CIBTAC diplomas, recognised internationally.

I have a rich professional background, including serving as Head Therapist on the QE2 whilst travelling the world, managing a health center in central London in collaboration with Chase Bank, opening and managing two London branches of Holmes Place, and troubleshooting various spas in the city, while gaining expertise in over 15 product companies such as La Prairie, Clarins, Decleor, and Elemis.

In 2013, I expanded my skills by becoming a sound therapist and seamlessly integrated sound therapy with massage. Over time, I developed my own unique approach, creating an immersive experience that transcends traditional massage and amplifies the healing powers of Sound and Massage together.

Operating from my purpose-built studio a short drive from the spa, I've cultivated a serene and welcoming space, a haven of relaxation. This sanctuary prioritises peace and comfort, offering a blend of sonic massage to enhance traditional therapeutic treatments.

My journey in this ancient yet evolving therapy has been transformative, characterised by continuous learning, scientific research, and the healing of age-old issues. sound manipulates and twists the future like it has moulded the past.

PLEASE NOTE….

All of Emma's treatments are conducted at her purpose-built sound room, located a convenient 10-minute drive from Laurabella, The Barn. Upon booking a treatment, Emma will provide you with the full address and parking instructions for your visit.

 

Sonic Sound Blended Massage

  • I firmly believe in delivering customised treatments tailored to your unique needs. Every session commences with a comprehensive hands-on assessment, followed by a personalised treatment plan crafted to address your specific concerns. With years of professional experience, I draw upon a diverse range of techniques to effectively alleviate problem areas, resulting in a deeply relaxing yet highly therapeutic massage.

    My preference is to offer extended massage sessions, allowing ample time to identify the root causes of discomfort, release tension, and guide you into a profound state of relaxation.

    The massage often incorporates under five minutes of sound therapy either during or at the end, This is a taster of sound therapy, but even in small amounts can quieten the mind.

    Please be aware that my massage pressure is consistently firm. If you prefer a lighter touch, I recommend exploring Laurabella Spa, where you can find excellent massage therapists who can adapt their pressure to suit individual preferences.

Sound & Massage Ritual

  • This treatment is designed for clients seeking not only physical relaxation but also quietness of the mind. It's a unique therapeutic approach meticulously developed by Emma, seamlessly blending hot stone therapy, mindfulness techniques, massage, and sound therapy to induce a profound state of relaxation. This integrated experience allows the massage to exert a more substantial physical impact, while the sound therapy effectively restructures on a mental level and imparts emotional tranquility.

    Customised with your own unique sonic combination, combined with focused breathing and mindfulness practices, this treatment, complemented by a firm deep tissue massage, leads to a deep meditative state of mind. The application of warm basalt stones on your muscles, known for their effectiveness (one stone stroke is equivalent to ten manual strokes), preheats the muscles, promoting muscle fiber softening, toxin breakdown, enhanced circulation, and aiding lymphedema.

    Before the initial session, a comprehensive consultation is conducted to ensure a personalised experience.

Bespoke One to One Sound Treatment

  • This therapy is cumulative in nature, like peeling back the layers of an onion. To begin this therapy, especially when targeting specific conditions, a course of five sessions is recommended. These sessions are scheduled weekly and typically last around 40 minutes, although the emphasis is on a natural progression rather than strict timing.

    The first session includes a comprehensive consultation and a full sound treatment. Subsequent sessions consist of a catch-up consultation and a complete treatment. The final session involves a summary discussion of the treatment's effects on specific ailments, followed by a full treatment.

    Throughout the course, participants are eligible for two additional sound bath experiences. Each session should be spaced one week apart to optimise results. It's important to note that this therapy is not offered as a standalone treatment, as the full benefits are typically realised through a minimum of five sessions.

    Treatment Format:

    Upon arrival, we have an introductory conversation to establish a clear intention for the session.

    I then prepare the treatment area with a custom-designed sonic treatment tailored to your needs. You remain fully clothed and lie back on a comfortable, warm couch.

    Sound is utilised to scan your body, identifying areas of imbalance, dissonance, or restrictions. Various sounds are employed to activate, release, and shift these areas, with harmonious sounds used to balance, harmonise, and align. All sounds are generated with the intent of promoting your well-being.

    Following the sound therapy, a brief period of silence allows you to ground yourself and re-enter the present moment.

    At the end of the session, we engage in another brief discussion about your experiences during the treatment, ensuring you feel clear and grounded before leaving.

HARMONIC SOUND BATHS

EVERY Tuesday

7.00PM - 8.00PM

£20 per session

Sound baths help facilitate a shift in brain waves through frequency and entertainment of sound.

It's possible, and very easy, to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), with the majority of people able to reach theta (meditative state) and even delta (where internal healing can occur). This experience is helpful for anyone who wants to give themselves a moment of relaxation or gain the benefits from meditation but has not yet mastered how to access inner peace on their own.
A sound bath is for groups of people at one time, we keep our maximum capacity to five people for relaxation and comfort. Please do bring along a blanket, pillow, eye mask or anything you need to feel comfortable and warm.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND SOUND THERAPY

You are a living energy field. your body is composed of energy-producing particles, each of which is in constant motion. So, like everything and everyone else in the universe, you are vibrating and creating energy. to many people, The concept of energy fields in the body may sound more spiritual than medicinal. Research is being carried out to understand how electrical and magnetic energy in the body stimulate chemical processes. But there’s growing evidence that these energies can be used to influence your health outcomes.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

Vibrations are a kind of rhythm.

Rhythms happen on a grand scale, like tidal patterns but they also happen within your body. heartbeats and breathing are examples of physiological rhythms we can see, feel, and measure. Much smaller vibrations are happening in your body, too. Inside each one of your cells, molecules vibrate at an alarming rate. researchers have detected vibrations on the nanoscale — much smaller than 1/1000th the diameter of a single human hair. These vibrations generate electromagnetic energy waves.

Researchers have known for a long time that thoughts and behaviours affect the rhythms in your body. for example, anxious thoughts trigger the release of stress hormones that stimulate your heart rate to speed up or slow down. The sound vibrations of music, likewise, affect thoughts, emotions, and body systems. vibrational energy experts think our behaviours and thoughts can also alter much smaller rhythms. It's thought possible to speed up or slow down the vibrations that occur at the cellular and atomic levels by changing our thoughts, behaviours — and even our surroundings.

Changing those nano vibrations, its thought, could ripple outward, affecting our mental state and physical health. This has been proved as often when treating the parent, the ripples of the treatment starts to alter the people around and situations change within the family dynamic.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF VIBRATIONAL ENERGY?

A growing body of research suggests that there’s a strong connection between your mind and your body.

It isn’t yet understood how vibrational energy fits into the relationship between the two. scientists have proved you may be able to change your body’s vibrations to:

Alter your mood

Improve your physical health

Help you achieve your goals and intentions

Vibrational energy experts claim that certain emotions and thought patterns, such as joy, peace, and acceptance, create high-frequency vibrations, while other feelings and mindsets (such as anger, despair and fear) vibrate at a lower rate.

There is plenty of evidence linking positive emotions and thinking patterns to better health and greater goal achievement.

Scientists are finding that vibrations of many kinds — electromagnetic, sound, and light — can be used to encourage healing and stimulate growth in the body.

From the soothing tones of your mother’s voice to the harsh raised voices that make us tight inside; a sound we hear can conjure up memories that evoke fear or brings joy.  Words that cut like a knife through your emotions, thoughts which can leave life-changing scars of encouragement and freedom or suppression and doubt.

So if we really think, about how sound has played an important part in who we are today, how we react is an echo of historic notes, then it makes sense to believe that sound can undo the negative and enhance well-being whilst healing our health, which will indeed change our future.
