In Sanskrit ‘Hema’ means golden/beautiful and it is my youngest daughter’s middle name. In Greek it also means blood. I like the idea that blood is the life-force that runs through our whole body and feeds every organ just like sound vibrations. At Hema Sounds I use instrumental and natural sounds therapeutically to offer relief from stress and pain, to kickstart self-healing or to offer an opportunity to be kind to yourself and enjoy a well-being treat.

Researchers such as Koenig and his colleagues (as far back as 1954 and 1960), found similarities between the earth’s ionosphere resonance and human brain activity/behaviour. Our planet has a type of rhythmic heartbeat called the ‘Schumann Resonance’ (named after Winfried Otto Schumann in honour of his work on global resonances in the mid-1950s). NASA monitors this Schumann Resonance (approximately 7-8Hz) to understand better the weather and formation of planets in the Universe.

For the real magic to happen with sound, we work together to create an open mind and a hopeful, positive intention for the session. I help you to verbalise and activate the change you desire through all your senses. When we add these ingredients to the sound vibration medicine pot, you are more likely to experience change.

I have a BSc Degree in Psychology from University College London and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. After 30 years experience as a specialist teacher and education consultant, I completed an active research Masters at Sussex University. Then, as part of my personal self-care, a good friend suggested I try a sound bath to relax . It had a profound affect on me and inspired me to explore how sound might benefit the children and adults I was working with at the time. I was amazed to discover that by simply drawing upon this brief experience of sound therapy and my meditation and mindfulness practices, I saw striking changes in the children’s ability to communicate and think creatively after just half an hour of immersion in sounds. As a result, I decided to train to be a Sound Therapist with the Sound Healing Academy. I completed the Level 2 Practitioner Diploma in Integral Sound Healing accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT).
