I am undertook a research project into the effectiveness of sound waves on physical healing. Each participant attended once a week for four weeks. One of the areas I have been studying is the positive effects sound therapy can have on relieving pain.

This treatment process has been researched and developed over 25 years by the British Academy of Sound Therapy. Research has shown that there are many health benefits to spending regular periods of time in a deep relaxed state known as an ‘ altered state of consciousness ‘, or ‘ASC’ for short. An ASC is a very natural state that we experience at different times of the day, such as when we are daydreaming or just about to fall asleep. Deep relaxation without sleeping can enable us to access other levels of consciousness which may also give us some insight into a particular problem or life situation.

I have submitted a proposal to present a research paper at the International Therapeutic Sound Association Conference in 2026 based on a significant outcome for a client during the sessions.
