Sound Therapy & Sound Grounding

At Zen’n’ish® sound is not just background noise. It is a gentle co-regulator, a grounding presence, and a deeply soothing companion for your nervous system.

Below you will find two related, but distinct, offerings:

• Sound Therapy as a standalone wellness experience

• Sound Grounding as an integrated technique within clinical sessions

 

Sound Therapy

Sound Therapy is an immersive, restorative experience that harnesses the vibrational power of sound to support the mind, body, and spirit.

​

This holistic practice uses instruments such as:

• monochords

• singing bowls

• tuning forks

• rain drums

• chimes and tonal overtones

• voice and gentle vocal toning

 

Together, these create layered soundscapes that you can feel as much as you hear. The vibration and frequency of the instruments are selected to invite deep relaxation, soften emotional distress, and foster a sense of inner reset.

​

Dr. KiKi’s international training through the Association of Sound Therapy International with the Harmonic Sounds International Association of Sound Therapy in Belgium reflects her commitment to bringing grounded, well studied sound practices into her work.

​

Sound Therapy is more than a sensory experience. It is a space to:

• settle your nervous system

• release tension and accumulated stress

• reconnect with your inner rhythms

• experience stillness, even if your mind rarely feels quiet

 

Each session is tailored to your needs, offering a synergistic blend of instruments and pacing that honors where you are on that particular day.

​

Important note

Sound Therapy is offered in person only. The physical resonance and shared space are an important part of this work, and cannot be fully replicated via telehealth.

​

Sound Therapy is a complementary wellness service. It does not diagnose or treat medical or psychiatric conditions and is not a replacement for psychotherapy or medical care.

​

Sound Grounding

Sound Grounding brings the healing qualities of sound directly into the clinical therapy space as a grounding technique woven into evidence-informed treatment.

​

Unlike standalone Sound Therapy, Sound Grounding is integrated into modalities such as:

• Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy (M-CBT)

• EMDR

• Eco Somatic Therapy and Cyclical Gardening Therapy®

• other mindfulness- and body-based approaches

 

Here, sound is used in brief, intentional ways to help you:

• regulate emotions in the moment

• anchor into the present when you feel overwhelmed or dissociated

• find your way back to your body during difficult material

• create micro-pauses of calm during intense work

 

Tools may include calming tones, rhythmic patterns, gentle humming, or the soft resonance of instruments like a monochord, chime, or tuning fork. For example, a single resonant tone can serve as a cue to come back to the here-and-now, reconnect with your breath, and orient to safety.

​

Sound Grounding can be especially supportive if you are working through:

• anxiety and panic

• trauma processing

• emotional dysregulation or shutdown

• feeling scattered, numb, or “out of your body”

 

Sound Grounding is always used in service of your broader clinical goals and remains anchored in the therapy plan you and KiKi have created together. It is never a performance. It is a tool.

​

Because it is flexible and brief, Sound Grounding can be incorporated into both in-person and virtual sessions when appropriate.

​

Closing Invitation

Both Sound Therapy and Sound Grounding offer sound as a pathway back to yourself, but in different ways:

• Sound Therapy is a standalone, immersive wellness experience that invites deep rest and energetic reset.

• Sound Grounding is a clinical technique, woven into therapy, that helps you stay present, regulated, and connected during emotional work.

 

If you are longing to exhale, recalibrate after life’s challenges, or simply experience a softer way of being in your body, the power of sound is here to support you.

​

You bring your tired nervous system and tender story.
Together, we let the sound move through the loam and invite your whole self to reconnect, restore, and rise. 🎵🌱
