SOUND THERAPY

Sound as something you can feel.

The didgeridoo is an unusually physical instrument. Its low tones, vibration, breath, rhythm and harmonics can make listening feel like something happening through the body as much as through the ears.

That relationship between sound and the body is a big part of what draws me towards sound journeys and therapeutic sound.

The didgeridoo also has a much older cultural life beyond contemporary music. In Yolŋu culture, yidaki has roles and meanings that extend far beyond the way I use the instrument today, and that is something I want to keep learning about as my own practice develops.

IN PRACTICE

Sound journeys and altered states.

I co-facilitate sound journeys, using the didgeridoo as part of a wider immersive listening experience.

I’m particularly interested in how sustained sound, vibration and repetition can help people move into deeply relaxed or altered states of awareness, creating space for the mind and body to slow down, rest, and reconnect.

Some of the most affecting moments for me have been seeing what can happen for people when they really surrender to the sound. I’ve now played for a number of people who have experienced strong emotional releases afterwards, and I’ve seen many others come out of these experiences visibly moved, deeply relaxed or with a sense that something in them has shifted.

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

Developing the practice.

I’m currently training in Group Sound Therapy with the British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST), working towards my professional diploma.

The course is giving me a deeper understanding of how sound can be used intentionally within group settings, from the structure and facilitation of sound journeys to working with rhythm, altered states, listening and different therapeutic instruments. Over time I expect my practice to expand beyond didgeridoo to include instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, drums and therapeutic percussion.

For now, the didgeridoo remains at the centre.

SOUND JOURNEYS & COLLABORATION

Interested in exploring something together?

I’m currently open to co-facilitating sound journeys and working with retreat organisers, sound practitioners, wellbeing facilitators and others creating thoughtful listening-based experiences.
