Alchemy Sound

Private sound journeys and small-group sound baths in Maryland and the DC area

Kim, a shamanic practitioner, plays her crystal singing bowls on her patio outdoors. She is surrounded by other crystal singing bowls on the ground. The background is full of green trees and shrubs.

Sound Baths

Enter A Field of crystalline sound

Kim, a shamanic practitioner, is playing a shiny, golden bowl outdoors with blurred greenery in the background.

Sound travels where language can’t always follow

A single note rings out. Another joins it, and the room comes alive with sound.

Crystal Alchemy Singing Bowls create waves of vibration that can nurture your energy field or help you to relax. Each bowl is also a work of art formed from high-purity quartz crystal and infused with gemstones, minerals, or precious metals.

Sometimes the boom, boom, boom of the frame drum opens the sound bath. A whistle may call. The session may close with the shimmer of Koshi chimes or the rustle of a rattle.

My sound work draws on my shamanic practice and my training with internationally acclaimed sound healer and educator Jeralyn Glass. No two sessions take the same shape.

Intention is the opening note. We’ll talk for a little while, and then I’ll shape the sound journey around you.

Guided imagery may weave its way in, or you can simply get comfortable, rest and receive.

Private Alchemy Bowl Sessions

Every group has its own rhythm. We can begin with a shared theme, such as animals, seasons or emotions and let the experience take shape from there.

A few Possibilities

For a book club, I could offer a meditation based on characters or archetypes.

For a baby shower, the theme could be welcoming or birth.

For an afternoon tea, I could offer a guided journey to engage with plants or a meditation around a summer garden.

Cards and RUnes

If you love runes, oracle cards, or tarot, each person could choose a card or rune. I’ll craft a guided meditation around your choices, and the music will meet each of you differently.
