Choosing the playlist for each client is honestly part of the treatment for me
As a sound therapist, I’m probably more aware than most of how deeply sound can affect the body, emotions and nervous system. The music in the room isn’t just background noise to me… it’s part of the experience.
I always tune into the client, the energy and the treatment before I even begin.
Some mornings start with me banging my drum, tinkling chimes around the room and clearing the energy before my first client arrives. Other days it’s ambient jazz, soft instrumentals, healing frequencies or sacred music from around the world.
Recently I’ve been trialling different genres with my returning clients and the feedback has been lovely
Yesterday I popped my AirPods in and went for a walk through the woods before starting my day, listening to The White Album by The Beatles — especially some of the more experimental tracks. I found myself completely fascinated by the layers of sound, how music can shift emotion, memory, mood and even the way the body physically feels.
That’s the thing with sound…
it reaches places words sometimes can’t.
Some clients need uplifting energy.
Some need grounding.
Some need softness and stillness.
Some need music that helps them emotionally exhale after carrying the weight of the world all week.
So yes… I absolutely have 1000’s of playlists on my Spotify
But when somebody melts into the bed, breathes deeper and their whole body softens within minutes… I know the ambience has done its job 🎶
