What is sound healing?

Sound healing is an ancient practice that harnesses the power of sound vibration to promote well-being. Using instruments like Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, even the healing voice, we create specific vibrations that guide your brain into relaxed states (like alpha and theta waves). This helps your body, mind, and spirit find deep relaxation and energetic harmony, bringing them back into balance.

What are the benefits of sound healing?

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Deep relaxation

• Improved sleep

• Increased clarity and focus

• Emotional release and balance

• Spiritual connection

• And so much more!

What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is a [meditative] experience where you're immersed in deep sound vibrations. Participants are encouraged to lie down and receive the healing vibrations created by a variety of instruments where you are essentially “bathed” in sound.

What should I expect during a sound bath?

During a sound bath, you may lay down or sit in a comfortable position and receive the healing vibrations while we play a variety of instruments designed to provide you with deep relaxation.

Are beginners welcome?

Saola Sparkle events are inclusive and open to all. No prior sound bath experience is needed. This experience is designed to support all levels.

Can I attend if I am pregnant, sensitive to sound, or have a medical condition?

Sound healing experiences may not be suitable for everyone. Please consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, severe sound sensitivity, or other medical concerns. Please note that Saola Sparkle and it's co-collaborators are not medical providers and do not assume responsibility.

Will I be photographed or filmed?

Portions of the event may be photographed or recorded for promotional purposes. All participants will be required to sign the event photograph waiver and can opt to inform a facilitator upon arrival if you prefer not to appear in media content.

What happens if a session/event is cancelled or rescheduled?

In the event of severe weather, venue issues, facilitator illness, low enrollment, or other unforeseen circumstances, Saola Sparkle reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a session. If this occurs, registered guests will be notified as soon as possible and offered either a transfer to the rescheduled date or applicable credit/refund at organizer discretion.

Do you offer a sliding scale for your sound bath experiences?

Yes! As a woman of color, I am committed to making sound healing and sound baths more accessible to everyone. Please contact me to arrange.

What is a floating sound bath?

A floating sound bath combines the deep relaxation of a traditional sound bath with the weightlessness of water. You'll float on the surface of a pool, supported by flotation equipment, while immersive sound and vibration wash over you.

Do I need to know how to swim? 

No swimming ability is required. You'll be supported by flotation equipment for the full session, and a facilitator is present throughout.

Is it safe if I'm nervous around water?

Yes, you're fully supported and never submerged, and you're welcome to let a facilitator know ahead of time if you'd like extra guidance getting settled. As with all our sessions, please consult your healthcare provider first if you have relevant medical concerns.

Will I get wet or be immersed in the pool water?

You shouldn't plan to get wet, though your feet may touch the water if you are floating or seated poolside. For those who reserved the Water Sparkle (float on water in pool), our pool attendant will assist you in safely getting on the air mattress float, which may require one step into the pool water that is no more than ankle high. 

What should I wear or bring?

Dress for relaxation. Examples include yoga wear, sweats, swimsuits with a cover-up, etc. Specific event pages will note anything else provided or needed. You are welcome and encouraged to bring any personal items that help you feel comfortable like a booster, water bottle, eye mask etc. 

Where are floating sound baths held?

Our floating sound baths are hosted at select partner venues as part of our Sparkle on the Water experiences. Check the Sessions & Experiences page for current dates and locations.

How is this different from a regular sound bath?

A traditional sound bath is experienced lying on a mat on solid ground. A floating sound bath adds buoyancy and water. Many guests find the weightlessness deepens relaxation even further, since the body has nothing to brace against.

Do you offer private sessions?

Yes. We offer personalized sound healing sessions for individuals, small groups, and organizations. Each session is tailored with intention. Reach out to discuss what you’re envisioning.

Can you facilitate group sessions or events?

Absolutely. We curate group sound baths and ritual experiences for retreats, offices, celebrations, and special gatherings. Contact us to begin planning.

Where do you offer services?

We are based in the greater Denver metro area and offer sessions locally. We are also open to traveling with our full setup—including sound instruments, yoga mats, and blankets. Let us know your location and what you’re envisioning.

What should I bring to a sound bath?

Please refer to your specific service offering or event page to confirm provided items and setup as this may vary.

To support your comfort and relaxation, for most offerings, we provide:

• A yoga mat

• A soft (50x60) blanket

You’re welcome and encouraged to bring your own setup or any items that help you feel grounded and at ease. Your comfort is key to a great session experience. Popular additions include:

• A pillow or bolster for head and knee support

• An eye mask to block light and go deeper within

• A reusable water bottle

• Socks, shawls, or any item that brings a sense of ritual or personal intention

Each sound bath is a moment to return to yourself—bring what makes you feel safe, still, and supported.

What should I wear to a sound healing session or sound bath?

Dress for relaxation. Our sessions invite stillness, deep rest, and presence. We recommend:

• Loose, breathable layers (e.g., yoga wear, sweatshirts, soft cotton)

• Cozy socks or warm layers if you tend to get cold

• Garments that let you stretch out, lie down, and fully receive

This is sacred rest—come as you are, and wear what helps you feel comfortable and free of distraction.
