Sacred Sound
Ancient Practice for Modern Spiritual Life
Connect Body + Spirit
Dear Ones, I’m delighted to invite you to join me on a transformative journey to bring embodied spirituality into more explicitly Christian spaces, especially churches.
This spring, I’ll be participating in a 14-day immersive certification in sound meditation healing. The first time I heard about a sound bath, I thought it involved water. I’ve since learned that you are being “bathed” by the sounds and vibrations of various instruments. Over the past few years, I’ve found solace and a deeper connection to God through such sound bath experiences.
Why Sound Healing?
Science tells us that sound can deeply affect our physical and mental well-being, calming the nervous system, enhancing focus, and even fostering inner healing. In major world religions, sound has long played a powerful role in connecting the human experience with the divine. Yet in contemporary Christianity, we often lack such embodied, vibrational practices that help worshippers feel more connected, grounded, and whole. This certification will allow me to bring sound healing into our spiritual practices in ways that align with Christian values and deepen our worship experiences. I will continue my ministry of individual and group coaching, leading spiritual retreats, and speaking on burnout and wholeheartedness; this will only serve to complement and deepen much of that work.
Why Support This Vision?
Your investment will allow me to make these tools accessible within Christian spaces, where practices like sound baths are rare but much needed. With your support, I hope to share what I learn widely, creating opportunities for clergy, lay leaders, and congregations to experience embodied worship that brings grounding, peace, and communal wholeness. I answer many FAQs about your support on this page.
Is this New Age Malarkey?
Sound healing is an ancient practice found in many cultures, including our own biblical traditions. Throughout scripture, music and sound are used for worship, healing, and connection with the divine—think of David playing the harp to soothe Saul (1 Samuel 16:23) or Miriam leading the Israelites in song and dance with her tambourine after crossing the Red Sea (Exodus 15:20-21). In the New Testament, Paul writes about the power of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to uplift and transform (Ephesians 5:19). Modern sound meditation builds on these deep-rooted traditions, using vibrations and frequencies to promote rest, healing, and spiritual renewal. It’s not about ‘new age’ trends—it’s about engaging with sound as a God-given tool for wholeness and restoration.
