Sound Healing
For Cancer Support and Recovery
Going through treatment for cancer, or any serious illness, asks so much of your body and mind. Between the appointments, the medication and the worry that comes with it all, many people find themselves utterly exhausted yet unable to truly rest. The mind keeps spinning, the body stays braced, and sleep can feel impossible.
Sound healing offers a gentle, nurturing space where your busy mind can finally quieten and your body can settle into the deep rest it is asking for. There is nothing to do, nothing to explain and nothing expected of you. You simply lie down, let the waves of sound wash over you, and allow yourself to be held for an hour.
Sound healing is not a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition, and it is never a replacement for the care of your doctors and treatment team. It sits gently alongside your medical care, supporting rest, relaxation and calm during a demanding time.
Kim's story
When Kim was going through cancer treatment a few years ago, sleep simply would not come. The steroids that support chemotherapy kept her system switched on, and for months she could not rest, right at the time her body needed rest the most.
Over her eight months of treatment, Kim came in for three one hour sound healing sessions. Lying on the table while the bowls, chimes and gentle sounds did their quiet work, she found something she had not been able to find anywhere else.
"I would come out of that hour feeling like I had been gone for a week. Like I had really gone on a little mini retreat where I just slept." - Kim
"It was a really nurturing, caring, supportive cocoon when everything felt out of control. It was a really grounding experience." - Kim
For Kim, the sessions were about giving her mind permission to stop worrying so her body could get on with what it needed to do. As she puts it, it is about calming the mind so the body can do its thing. She describes sound healing as a beautiful complement to any medical model.
What Happens in a Session
You lie comfortably, fully clothed, on the treatment table, wrapped in blankets if you like. I play a range of instruments around you, singing bowls, gongs, chimes and gentle voice, and the sounds and vibrations wash over you in waves.
Nothing is asked of you. You do not need to talk about what you are going through, and you do not need any experience with sound healing or meditation. Your only job is to rest. Every session is different because I take the time to listen and feel into what you need on the day.
Sessions run for about an hour, in a calm, private space in Torquay on the Surf Coast.

Common Questions
Is sound healing safe during treatment?
Sound healing is very gentle, and you remain fully clothed and simply rest throughout. That said, everyone's situation is different, so please check with your treatment team first, and let me know what you are going through so I can tailor the session to you.
Will I have to talk about my illness?
Only if you want to. Many people find that when everything is an effort, even talking, sound healing asks nothing of them. You are welcome to arrive, rest and leave without explaining a thing. We will spend a brief moment to check in and create an intention for the session.
Do I need to have tried sound healing before?
Not at all. Kim had never experienced sound healing before her first session. Come exactly as you are.
Can I gift a session to someone going through a hard time?
Yes, and it is a beautiful thing to give. If someone you love is stretched thin by illness, treatment or caring for another, a session is a way of saying: here is an hour that is just for you.
