Sound Bowl Therapy

The session

Sound Bowl Therapy (aka Tibetan bowls) uses metal sound waves to resonate deeply through your body.

A 1:1 session with the bowls works to relax the mind and body, allowing for deep relaxation. A moment to disconnect from the outside world and let the vibration send you into a trance state. Succumb to the vibration of the bowls placed both around and on your body, as it penetrates deeper and deeper into your body and mind.

60 mins - 70 EUR

Prep and What to expect:

  • We will sit for 10 minutes at the start to check in and discuss what you need.

  • The session will take place fully clothed, laying on a floor mattress. There are many cushions and bolsters to make it comfortable.

  • Remove any metal adornments prior to the session, and let me know about any that can not be removed.

  • I recommend not consuming caffeine a few hours before the session so you can deeply relax and bring your heart rate down

  • Please attend without the influence of drugs, cannabis, alcohol. The vibrations are intense enough and it is important we both enter the treatment with informed consent.

After the session:

  • Drink plenty of water - and remain hydrated. A lot of energy is moved and needs to be hydrated so the energy and toxins can flow out of the body.

  • Relax - best not to stress your body afterwards. Whilst it may seem light and relaxing, the vibrations can have a powerful effect on the body and mind. Best to journal or take a walk (we are close to the canal or the Spree)

Hey, I am Martin (he/him). A queer man originally from Australia, living in Berlin since 2015.

I have always been interested in bodies and the ability of our hands to tune into another. Both of my studies for Ayurveda and Sound Bowl Healing were in Goa, India.

Ayurveda, aka “the science of life”, is a whole universe deeply embedded in the life and history of India. I am constantly learning more and happy to share everything I know with you. I have a larger arsenal of Ayurveda treatments that can be incorporated for longer-term clients, after we have established your Prakruti and we know the specific areas to treat.

I have also studied Thai Massage, Chi Nei Tsang, and Tok Sen in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Receiving Chi Nei Tsang had a profound effect on my mental state of being and I have had an improved mood ever since, so I made sure to study it deeply and bring it back to Berlin.

I have a deep respect for these practices that are strongly rooted to their cultures. Both Ayurveda and Thai Massage are ways of daily life in their lands and we can benefit a lot from their wisdom. It is such a privilege to connect with these practices and share with my community.

I also work as a Life Coach. There are moments when all the practices overlap, which I really enjoy.

A NOTE ON MY APPROACH TO BODIES:

My intention is to create as intentional a space as possible that welcomes all bodies, expressions and identities. Language and touch will be as inclusive and affirmative as possible.

Consent is key and we will discuss your needs before each session to make sure we are respecting any boundaries. I encourage you to communicate any change in preferences along the way and encourage you to say “stop” at any time. We can take a pause at any point. This service is for your own comfort and this takes precedence.

Sound Bowl Healing can be performed completely without physical touch if desired. Otherwise, it is possible to lay the bowls on the body at times.

PAYMENTS + CANCELLATION POLICY:

Payment is to take place either prior to or during the session.

It is fine to cancel/reschedule appointments until 48 hours prior to our booked time. Any cancellations within the 48 hour window need to be paid for in full. It will not be possible to book a new session until the outstanding amount has been paid.
