Health & Safety

Your safety and comfort are our priority. Please read the information below before attending a session.

Contraindications

Sound therapy is generally safe for most people. However, please let us know before attending if any of the following apply to you:

  • Epilepsy or seizure disorders
  • Sound-triggered migraines
  • First trimester of pregnancy
  • Metal implants (e.g. pacemakers, cochlear implants, pins/plates — discuss with us first)
  • Severe mental health conditions where deep relaxation may be contraindicated
  • Tinnitus (mild cases are often fine — please discuss with us before booking)

If in doubt, please get in touch before booking. We're happy to discuss your situation and advise whether sound therapy is suitable for you.

Important
