About the sanctuary
Our practitioners.
The Floating Sound Sanctuary is held by a small circle of practitioners. We came to sound the way most people do — exhausted, looking for a way back into our bodies. Each of us trained differently, and each of us holds the room a little differently too.
Between us we have trained in the UK with the Sound Healing Academy and in trauma-informed group facilitation. We hold sessions for individuals, small groups, and private circles across the UK.
Our practice is quiet. We don't speak much during a session. We keep the room warm, the lights low, and the bowls close. The work is to make a space safe enough that your body can finally exhale.
Float. Relax. Restore.
“We are not here to heal you. We are here to hold a room quiet enough that you can hear what your body already knows.”

Professional Sound Practitioners
Our wider circle
We work with a small circle of experienced, UK-trained sound practitioners across the country. Each brings their own quiet presence and training in crystal singing bowls, gongs, and trauma-informed group facilitation — so wherever you float with us, you are held by a practitioner who knows the work.
