What is Sound Healing

Thank you for yesterday! It was beyond amazing and needed! I was one of the moms at the table you sat at before your presentation- your energy and presence is so magical (another mom at my table was in tears after bc she really felt the moment and even deeper bc she said your voice, energy reminded her so much of her grandma who just recently passed away a week ago- who had also been struggling with dementia so being near you felt a deep connection to her grandma from before- took my breath away and wanted to share).

Thank you for spreading you passion/knowledge and energy around- it makes a difference and I had to reach out.

“Sound healing with Dorothy has been a wonderful experience.  I felt from the first treatment that the sound was literally sifting out impurities embedded in my body and energy field.  I had dramatic shifts right away ranging from detoxification symptoms to improved awareness of being connected to the earth.  I experienced the felt sense of primal trust from her sound bowl that was attuned to their earth’s frequency and that vibration is now something I carry in my body, almost like my body instrument was attuned to the frequency of this grounding, earthy energy.   I have experienced profound consciousness and physical shifts in many of her individual and group sessions and highly recommend this modality that Dorothy offers.  She holds a safe space and has an excellent intuition of how to tailor a sound session to individual needs.

I discovered sound therapy and Dorothy’s work with it nine months ago. It was around Valentine’s Day and she did a sound bath for a health-related program I was in. The class she did was on the topic of love/self-love. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I didn’t feel much physically during it, but I enjoyed listening.
The next morning I woke up and it felt like something had unlocked in my heart. I felt a lightness inside of my chest, as though a weight had been removed. I felt full of energy and vitality, and overwhelmed with love and appreciation for my body and my life. A dam of despair and trauma inside of me had broken. I felt overcome with joy.
I got up, got dressed, and drove myself on 4 hour round trip to worship in one of the temples of my religious faith, after being unable to drive more than short distances without fatigue for years.
I knew I had found something really special.
I looked forward every month to Dorothy’s classes in that program, and in coming months was blessed to find her website and the wealth of recordings and wisdom she has there.
I had spent more than a year doing other kinds of meditation before I found Dorothy’s work. I find that with her recordings and classes, I can effectively and quickly enter the coherent, healing brain states that I used to struggle over an hour sometimes to get to before when meditating.
The sound is also a gentle way for me tone my vagus nerve, as the lack of function I had with it had led to more than a dozen chronic illnesses, including severe depression, anxiety, autoimmune issues, CFS and other forms of dysautonomia.
My body wasn’t very tolerant of other ways I tried to do this, as my vagus nerve tone was very poor. I saw steady improvement in my body’s capacity to handle stress as I listened to her recordings, without the kickback and symptoms I would get when I tried to do that with other methods.
I quickly learned about how sound can help heal other physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual issues.
Her website became a powerful tool and ally to me as I worked to get off of several prescription medications I had been on for many years. The sound helped me tolerate some of the withdrawal symptoms and the process went miraculously smoothly for me over a much shorter time period that I had planned. I was even able to stop consuming caffeine without the migraines I had suffered in the past when I had attempted it before.
The more I listen, the more the sound seems to help me. I will feel the different frequencies up and down my spine, in my throat and in my head. I will feel energy move to my hands and feet and out of me. Many times, it feels like a gentle massage from the inside and is incredibly soothing.
I especially enjoy the lower, grounding frequencies to help me manage overwhelm and anxiety. Many times, the deep vibrations of those sound bowls will help me feel a deep sense of trust in the world and in God that I had lost over the years, which empowered me pursue things I love that I had been afraid to in the past.
I wish more people who are trying to heal from any adverse condition knew about sound therapy, Dorothy’s work and her website. To me it is by far one of the most effective interventions I have used on my healing journey, and I am so grateful for her sharing it with people like me.
