Sun Gong
If you are looking for a spacey, boundless experience or feeling stuck or blocked, this is your gal. Elemental, deep and expansive the gong is an iconic instrument. I use a Chinese Sun Gong which is balanced in sound emitting cosmic deep tones as well as brassy, sparkling top end. Fantastic for physical ailments, aches and pains associated with stress, the Gong is placed at the head showering you with gorgeous pulsating and healing harmonics.
-
Crystal Singing Bowls
Celestial and otherwordly, the Crystal Singing Bowls are direct and penetrating due to the pure tone they produce. Played with nuance and restraint, these are highly effective for cleansing your mind, connecting to your emotions and transcending your usual thought patterns so you can open your mind to new ways of thinking Sometimes known for their mental flossing capability, they’ll clear away the brain fog and leave you feeling as though you could levitate, no longer weighed down by the usual baggage.
-
Himalayan Singing Bowls
Rich, soft and warm sounding, the Himalayan Singing Bowls are versatile and powerful, perfect for those on the anxious side of the spectrum, they are soothing, gentle and grounding. And as you can mix things up by opting for an on or off-body massage (also known as Sonic Activation and Nada Pressure) before transitioning to a sound bath, they are an excellent option if you want to not only be immersed in sound but feel directly connected to the sound through your body. Nada Pressure & Sonic Activation.
-
Nada Pressure & Sonic Activation
Otherwise known as On or Off-body Massage, these methods are only available for in-person sessions as the treatment involves placing Himalayan Singing Bowls at specific points on or over your body whilst they are being played. A wonderful and unique experience that builds a direct connection with the instrument, sending the vibrations deep into your muscles and bones physically making you resonate. If you have a particularly busy mind, Sonic Activation and Nada Pressure is amazing for bringing you into your body and present moment. When a sound bath follows this you will be in absolute bliss!
-
Voice
Intimate, primal, emotional and reassuring, the Voice is a truly powerful instrument. Our connection to the human voice is hardwired in-utero and because of this, studies show that people's responses to the Voice during a Sound or Voice Bath are often the most profound. Through toning and overtoning, Cherelle will lull you into a deeply nourishing state, nestled into a warm hug of sound.

Services
Standard
You need to take a break and check out from the day to grind and get a bit of time for yourself. Maybe you won’t be going on holiday for the foreseeable so you need something that will send you to that mental space where your worries are distant and can no longer reach you.
This is for you!!
1 hour of sonic bliss, you can opt for one or two instruments (i.ie. gong & crystal singing bowls) in your healing as well as a guided visualisation with intention setting or simply bathe in the sound.
Each treatment ends with a clarifying arrangement of percussion to bring you gently from your deeply relaxed state into wakefulness, fully reset and ready to embrace life.
Deluxe
You’re in need of something deep and transcendental. Perhaps you’ve been working towards a deadline or you’ve been submerged in caring duties back-to-back for months and this is your time to be deeply restored.
The Deluxe is the perfect reward.
A1.5hr long session with your choice of up to 3 instruments i.e. Himalayan Singing bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls and voice allowing you to benefit from the healing harmonics of a range of instruments or allow yourself to completely indulge in the special tones of an instrument you know you love.
The deluxe closes with a clarifying arrangement of percussion to bring you slowly from your deeply relaxed state into wakefulness. Upon opening your eyes, you’ll be offered herbal tea and time to journal if you so wish.
Couples & Throuples Healing
Experiencing something profound and magical can be just the thing to deepen intimacy, re-ignite passion or both.
Allow the sound to dissolve the domestic drudgery and stress of working life so you can get back to just being together.
It’s encouraged to set an intention for these types of healings so you can drift off and come back together around a shared point enabling you to share your experiences and find further connection and dialogue beyond the session’s end.
Once the therapeutic percussion comes to an end, you’ll be welcomed back into the space with herbal tea and a moment to ground yourselves and share your experiences.
Have a question? I’m happy to answer your query- no question too small.

About me
With 17 years of experience as a professional artist, my art practice is central to my healing journey. It was through attending my first sound bath that I was able to make connections between my artistic approach and love of music. I was blown away by the deep sense of connection, freedom, expansion and ecstasy I felt so I had to find out more and became a BAST (British Academy of Sound Therapy) certified 1:1 (2022) and group Sound Therapist (2020). As someone who has experienced burnout, self-hatred and felt that hell was real and I was living in it multiple times. I got to a point where I never wanted to go through that again so I had to build practices for myself. My art practice got me someway to self-healing however, Sound Baths and Sound Therapy sped things up exponentially. Through Sound Therapy, I recognised that my intuition is always leading me to something wonderful, I just have to make space for it to be heard and take its advice. When I did listen, things changed very quickly for the better- sound helped me get there, it can do the same for you too.

FAQs
-
Sound Healing is a wonderful way to reduce stress and anxiety however, those who have been diagnosed with a moderate to acute mental health conditions such as BPD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder etc. may need to provide some contextual information regarding any medication they are currently taking or a letter from a doctor confirming Sound Healing is appropriate. My approach is, if we can make it work in a safe way for you, let’s try.
-
If you are less than 3 months pregnant it is recommended not to participate in sound baths or Sound Healing as insurers do not cover people in their first trimester. This is not because it’s been deemed unsafe but an arbitrary rule. Once safely entered into yoursecond trimester Sound Healing and Therapy can be a wonderful way to carve time for yourself and gain a deeper connection to your changing body.
-

I currently use Voice, Gong, Himalayan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls and Gong. These can be mixed in a number of ways or used solo. I’m also trained in Nada Pressure and Sonic Activation which is a type of massage where Himalayan Singing Bowls are placed on specific areas of the body- great for stress or those people who have particularly active minds.
-
Most definitely yes. Many people find that Sound Baths or Therapy is especially effective as it gives the mind something to anchor to. You don’t have to have any previous meditation experience and often once you’ve completed a course of Sound Therapy or attended Sound Baths regularly, meditating on your own becomes much easier.

Possibly, we can’t be certain without trying. I’ve worked with someone who had impaired hearing due to overexposure to loud sounds and he enjoyed the treatments and found them useful. There’s also Nada Pressure massage and Sonic Activation which sends vibrations on points on your body which could be a nice way to experience sound. Ultimately, we’d have to discuss things further.
-
Yes of course! Space is limited however, if you get in early Cherelle would be happy to book in several sessions so they are in the diary and you don’t have to think about them. You may also want to consider the 6 week Sound Therapy programme she offers.

I work from my home space in Ramsgate, CT11 )JD. As it is home space, to keep me safe, I share the address details once we have confirmed the booking.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It depends on what you are looking for. Master Sound Therapist, Lyz Cooper (one of my teachers) conducted research into this and found that participants who listened to a virtual sound bath on good-quality headphones scored highly for emotional release and profound relaxation. Those who attended a group Sound Healing in person scored highly for physical release and spiritual connection due to the sense of community. If you have a stable internet connection, I’d recommend trying both and seeing which you prefer.
