Now booking in Santa Fe!

Ok, Santa Fe, we’re ready to bowl! Private sound therapy sessions are now open for booking.

Singing Bowl Relaxation is a gentle, intuitive, energy-based method which makes use of the frequencies and vibrations produced by Himalayan Singing Bowls to detect and correct distortions and imbalances related to energy centers within and around the body.

The soft, stable tones help to naturally entrain our nervous system out of a state of fight-or-flight and into one of rest-and-digest, bolstering the body’s homeostatic processes of repair.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am forced into moving yet again. Colorado has been great while it lasted but it’s time to head back to Northern New Mexico. 🌶️☀️🌶️

1:1 Vibrational Sound Therapy appointments will commence in Santa Fe starting mid-April. DM or WhatsApp to book.

Thanks to the Ohm Store for this lovely feature, as we prepare for another round of Gong School!

Conservatory percussionist Ben Irons demonstrates gong playing technique, overtone physics, and the acoustic science behind why gongs affect the nervous system.

Have you ever wondered what's inside the center of the traditional red felt mallets that come with your singing bowls? It ain't pretty. Join me for this deep cut! 😆✂️

Due to high winds and "planned" power outages, ZB will be closed for sessions this weekend. I will be available in the coming week to help bolster sonic support against Holiday stress. DM to book your Sonic Booster!

Carbon fiber is so 2020. We're doing bamboo these days. 😉

Product Design Update! Our popular singing bowl mallets, General Inviter & Articulate Inviter, are now on bamboo handles for a more natural feel and look.

I’ve been dreaming of this session upgrade for a few years. I’m now able to expand all my Vibrational Sound Therapy sessions with tuned gongs to complement and balance the singing bowls and dril-bu (Tibetan bell).

While both instruments have a balance of masculine and feminine energies, the gongs tend to have more masculine, and the singing bowls, more feminine. I’m tickled to offer a balance of both with this new set-up. It’s going to make for an incredible sound therapy experience, unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere.

Thank you to for their quick and enthusiastic assistance sourcing these instruments.

Now booking VST sessions in Boulder for August and September. More info available through the link in bio.

⭐️ I’m pleased to present my second album, “Emergency BENzos.” Each track is designed to help bring a state of calm during stress, overwhelm, and “activation.” Find some time in a quiet space where you can rest undisturbed. Put on some 🎧. Bring your focus to your breath. Drop your shoulders away from your ears. Relax your belly. Let go…⭐️

With gratitude for for their support. I exclusively used the wands and inviters of my Signature Series for this album.
Additional thanks to for her creative assistance with the cover art.

Have you ever seen a singing bowl give off its own heat before?? Neither had we! This was back in 2020. My Dad noticed a significant amount of heat coming off a singing bowl. So, being the science-driven individuals we are, he and I set out to try to discern the source. I have witnessed some surprising "activity" around these instruments. This is just another story, but with [anecdotal] data!

Dr. Dad and I try to figure out why my Himalayan singing bowls might be expressing heat on their own. One bowl keeps jumping between 72-degrees and 80-degree...
