I evaluated, communicated, and set a boundary that has been, admittedly, difficult for me to maintain in the past.
🌱
In trying to be relationship focused and truly adorning my clients, I've allowed 50 minute sessions to turn into 60 minute sessions, which leaves me no time in between sessions for any of my bodily and mental needs.
🌱
And if I want to help people with burnout and communication, I need to do the same for myself.
🌱
Guess what, everyone actually READ my email and was totally supportive of making this adjustment.

Sound Bath this Thursday, October 1st, and every first Thursday of the month at Yogadurango.
✨
Settle in for an hour of soothing sound and stillness. As the sound journey begins, I guide you thru intention setting, one of the best ways to maximize your sound bath experience. As my voice fades and your breath and body awareness increases, the sound of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion become your whole world. You'll lose sense of time. Your mind and body will connect with your intention or affirmation while it processes whatever has been getting in your way. And you'll come out of the experience feeling renewed, rested, and connected to the vision you held for yourself.
✨
I bring years of trauma-informed clinical practice and musical training to each of my sound baths. They are both therapeutic for me, and for participants. They're a gentle way to connect to your subconscious thoughts and to your community.
✨
No experience needed. Bring items that help you feel cozy and relaxed. The studio will provide blankets, eye covers, bolsters, and a peaceful setting.

A friendly reminder to enjoy your Sunday, get outside, and breathe that mountain air.

New on the blog: Corporate Sound Healing in Colorado: A Practical Approach to Employee Wellness

I used to be the burned-out employee. My workplace had a wellness program, and I was often one of the few people who showed up, because no one else had "time."

Now, as a clinical therapist, I work with burned-out employees in tech, healthcare, and education. Year after year, I watch the pressure of demanding jobs wear down their mental health until they can't take it anymore, and they leave. That turnover is a signal that wellness isn't reaching the people who need it.

In my private sessions, I use the same nervous system tools I bring to corporate sound healing. I see clients slow down, soften, and find a way back to themselves, sometimes for the first time in months.

Corporate wellness done right isn't another task on an employee's to-do list or a box for HR to check. It's embedded in the culture of the workplace, so rest becomes part of how the work gets done.

That's what a virtual sound healing session offers your team: 30 minutes of singing bowls, stillness, and guided relaxation during the workday. There's no meditation experience needed, nothing personal to share, and no right way to do it.

In the post, I cover:
✦ What a corporate sound healing session actually looks like
✦ Why sound healing supports employee wellness but can't replace fixing unsustainable workloads
✦ How virtual sessions include remote and hybrid teams across Colorado and nationwide
✦ How to build workplace wellness that feels genuine, not performative

I'm Barbara Ferri, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and certified sound healer based in Durango, Colorado, working with organizations in Denver, Boulder, and across the country.

Read the full post at the link in bio. If you lead a team in tech, healthcare, or education, let's talk about what your people need.

After a year of procrastination and avoidance, I finally got the courage to do a photoshoot with my instruments.
✨
Experiencing the phenomenon of aging and being a middle-aged woman in perimenopause has made me feel less confident and more camera shy than ever. Even though, I hate to admit it.
✨
But alas, I scheduled and executed feeling so happy and positive about the experience. Thank you Allison Ragsdale and Hannah for a fantastic photoshoot. You two are the best hype crew ever. I can't wait for the new images for my website refresh.

Last Sounds Bath of the Summer Season.
✨
With the change of seasons upon us, there's a mixed bag of emotions. We love the summer, the river and lake time, the high country hiking, the bustling town activities, and we are also anticipating a slower autumn marked by the magical changing of the Aspen trees.
✨
Seasonality is something I've grown to appreciate after moving to Colorado 7 years ago. I envision this sound bath as one that honors the transition of seasons, the withering away of the wildflowers, the monsoon, and green leaves, and bringing us one step closer to going inward for the hibernation season.
✨
Whatever this final summer sound bath means for you, bring it to Yogadurango this Sunday and let's take an intentional rest together.

We did it! The final FREE Community Sound Bath this Wednesday closed the series, and it was packed! Loaded with vibes, love, appreciation, and relaxation.
✨
Thank you for the support of my friends and my partner Josh Fly for helping me pull this series off in such a beautiful way. And thank you to the Durango Creative District for believing in this project and funding it.
✨
For those who want to continue to explore the magic of vibrational sound baths, catch me Yogadurango on Sept 13th at 4pm. OR contact me directly for energy balancing with tuning forks and private in-home sound baths for you, your friends, and family.
