Music as Medicine
SoundWork as a healing modality allows clients to explore and work through personal issues through the process of making or receiving sound. Studies support the positive impact of music on the brain including one’s ability to learn and improve cognitive functions, and, access and articulate thoughts, images and stories from the unconscious, that otherwise may not be heard or recognized.
Soundwork Provides a Unique Component
- in private counseling
- for corporate team building
- at community gatherings
 
Guided Meditation
Breath, essential oils and visualization are other facets that may be introduced to compliment the process of inner exploration. Relax with spoken word in a safe, non-judgmental space. Allow your senses to awaken to the place within where truth and personal stories reside. Feel! See! Smell! Taste!
Soundwork Practitioner
Hazel incorporates her voice and the use of world instruments (hand drums, tanpoori, kalimbas, didgeridoo, native flute, crystal and Tibetan bowls) into beautiful sonic rituals where the client participates in the sounding process. Depending on need, she works alone or with a team of professional Soundwork Practitioners. Sound offered in this way opens up meaningful energies within oneself and between participants.
