"Michelle was invited to our women's health practice to conduct a sound bath for the staff as a part of a team event. We are a rather holistic practice and love learning about new natural treatment modalities, so this seemed really perfect! We were honestly all in awe of the 60 minutes sound bath, as Michelle perfectly and calmly took us through an immersive experience. Every single member of the staff was able to take something from the session and left it more relaxed than when they entered. We are so grateful for Michelle and her amazing gifts in this realm! She is so so good at what she does and seems like she has truly found her calling- we felt lucky to experience this with Michelle as our guide. We can't wait to have her back sometime soon".

"Michelle created an extraordinary one-of-a-kind experience for our group of friends and family. For many of us, it was our first sound bath and Michelle took great care to ensure everyone was prepared and comfortable for our afternoon together. The sound bath itself was such a rejuvenating engagement of the mind and the body. We all came out feeling so refreshed and relaxed! We will absolutely do it again - Michelle was absolutely wonderful!"
Sean H, Corporate Wellness
"Michelle curated an incredible experience for our team’s quarterly event. She was thoughtful, responsive and resourceful as we planned the event and the delivery/experience was next level. While we were all new to sound meditation everyone left with a moving experience! It is clear she is living her purpose, as her passion truly shines through when she is talking about her work; but, more importantly, when she is performing. I’d highly recommend Michelle and look forward to working with her again".

"We had Michelle conduct a beautiful Sound Bath for my Blessingway and it was hands down worth it. The experience is what I dreamed of for our event. It was beyond relaxing, soothing, and aligning. Everyone enjoyed the experience and it set the tone for the rest of the evening. 10/10 would recommend."

"I've attended several of Michelle's large group sound bath events and loved them, but I went to my first solo sound bath over the weekend and it was INCREDIBLE. Michelle provides a very warm, cozy, and inviting environment so that you feel relaxed as you start your healing journey. I felt like I got a brain massage with the sounds, and ended up sleeping like a log that night. I've had a lifelong struggle with sleep issues (which hasn't gotten any easier in the last couple of years), so this was something I really needed."
SUSAN B.
" I was so taken aback by what a marvelous transcendence of mind, body, and soul into a place of peace, relaxation, and utter calm and restoration. At some point, after lapping up all the good sounds and vibes I went into a very deep sleep. That sleep continued for 3-5 days after the session. A real dose of rest like no other! I highly recommend a treat to yourself or others. Loved it.

"From arrival to departure, this is a one of a kind experience. Michelle immediately makes you feel welcome and comfortable. You have the opportunity to sit and review your hopes and expectations for your sound journey. When the session is completed, there is ample time to reflect and relax as well as discuss any feelings or issues that may have popped up during your session, if you feel comfortable doing so. The sound experience itself is transformative. I had the opportunity to let go of some issues that I was struggling with and fell into a deep relaxation. I was comfortable, I could sense that I was being well cared for, and I was able to just let go. If you have never had a sound bath before, it is time! Michelle provides the best comfort and experience possible and I recommend her without reservation. In fact, I look forward to booking my next service as well!"

"I had a deep and powerful experience in my one-on-on session with Michelle, the Sound Doula! Since then, I sleep better and my daily meditations are more transcendent."

"Michelle has been a very good friend for decades. I have always thought of her as a wise and giving person. Her journey as a sound practitioner has only made her even more giving, discerning, and full of light; a light I enjoy being around more than ever! I have participated in her sound baths three times and have evolved every single time. I felt as though different parts of me were being unlocked. And they were indeed. I believe that sitting in Michelle's sound meditations is an experience that will leave you refreshed and changed, if you allow it."

"I felt that this was the best meditation session I have had. The sound bath was truly a powerful tool. Please continue being a sound doula and making this a better place, where hearts can be connected through your sound meditation."

I feel I can live here in peace, it’s nice to feel this calm strength from the sound bath. I felt waves of energy come through me during the session.

I highly recommend having a sound bath with Michelle. My experience was overwhelmingly amazing! Michelle so brilliantly played a number of instruments that took me to another level. Thank you Michelle for your talent and brilliance!

My first sound session was incredible! The ambiance, the burning of palo santo, Michelle’s guidance and welcoming spirit, in addition to finding the most comfortable positions- all helped take away the anxiety I was feeling about doing something completely new to me. She gently, yet intentionally, guided us through a meditation to ground us that was unlike anything I had experienced in a yoga studio before.
I felt transported to a place within myself that I thought was sealed off forever; the vibes facilitated in the room and throughout the session helped me achieve access to that. I physically felt my throat release, expanding beyond myself, forcing me to begin the process of talking about what I am processing- something I have been afraid to do. I physically felt my fingertips heat up- like energy flowing out of me. I am so thankful and can’t wait to be back!

I had a one on one session with Michelle and it was truly an exceptional experience.
​
It was such a treat, the moment I walked in the room I felt a sense of grounding and knowing I was in the right place and with the right guide. Michelle prepared the room so beautifully, and intuitively guided me through a clearing and grounding session with meditation and the beautiful sounds of bowls and gongs. I left the session feeling lighter, renewed and in such a great space. It is an experience I recommend to all as a form of self love, and to clear any blockages preventing you from reaching your highest self.

I had heard of sound bathing but I’d never experienced it until my yoga studio held a group sound bathing session that Michelle of The Sound Doula was leading. I left that session wanting more! I chatted with Michelle and felt so safe and cared for. She definitely has an inner light that makes you want to be around her and so I booked a one on one!
From the moment I walked into Michelle’s space I knew she had decorated it with love. She took time to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe - again one of her amazing qualities! The experience I had during my one on one session was beyond words! She took me on a ride somewhere deep within and then far out in the heavens! I processed things I thought would take years to process - It felt like I was wide wake during a dream - It was a quite literally a trip! It was mystical, magical and so very healing!
Because I loved it so much I raved about it to to everyone! Next thing I know my Mother-in-laws group of best fiends came all the way down from Westchester, New York to see Michelle! Of course they all had their own wonderful experiences and left feeling blissful!
Michelle is definitely “THE” Sound Doula you want to see! She was born to play sound bowls and gongs! .She has the sweetest spirit and will take you on a journey you never thought possible! I highly recommend booking a session with her! You will leave wanting more!

What an amazing experience! I scheduled a private Sound Bath session with my 81 year old mother, 60 year old sister and my 26 year old son, none of which had ever experienced yoga or a sound bath before. Michelle spent the time to explain what we would experience, how we might feel, and the sensations we would experience. She guided us thru a sensational sound and body experience, which moved each of us in a different way. At the end of the session, we were restored, relaxed and energized at the same time. The sensations continued after the session ended, with more restorative sleep, vivid dreams, and better digestion. I HIGHLY recommend this experience, and it is an experience. Michelle tailors the sessions to what you feel you need or desire or focuses on a chakra or instrument. My mother was so impressed with the sound bath that she has signed up for another. Absolutely tremendous. Michelle is an artist.

We had a couple’s session and truly enjoyed Michelle’s lovely presence, hospitality, guidance, and talent. Our session started with a very nice chat to get acquainted followed by a comforting, immersive sound bath. During the session we had both physical and transcendental experiences. Some body aches and pains alternated between a sensation of enlivenment and release in rhythm with the magical sounds Michelle created from her incredible set of instruments. The sounds were more like soothing waves playing off each other. Our consciousness ranged from near sleep to meditation to mystic visions. The bath was extremely peaceful and relaxing followed by a warm and comforting integration session to contemplate the experience. We highly recommend it!

I would highly recommend joining Michelle for any session she is offering. Her monthly sound bath workshops offer a great way to experience the benefits of sound healing in a group setting. I always leave feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated! When I finally did a private session with her in January, I was able to experience Michelle's magic in a whole new way. She was so welcoming and attentive, and I could tell she had put a lot of time and heart into planning out and personalizing our session. She used guided meditation and visualization, a releasing ritual, many of her incredible instruments, and even reiki, all to help me in releasing what was no longer serving me and calling in what I was seeking to create and bring more of into my life. In the week that followed, I experienced the lasting effects of my session with Michelle and could tell that my energy had truly shifted and space had been opened within me for connecting to my higher self. Deeply grateful and looking forward to continuing this work with Michelle!

I started Michelle’s group sound baths in the summer of 2022. My body was holding onto a lot of anxious energy and I wanted to find a group of individuals to share a meditative space. I immediately felt the calming/healing effects of the sound bath because my body felt tired and drained a couple days after that first session. The more I went to the sound baths the more I ended up getting an uplifting energy from them. My mind always raced at first but over time, I've been able to focus on the sounds themselves and tune in to my body more.
I've done two private sound bath sessions and I love the effects of being surrounded by the instruments in a more intimate setting. I feel the sound vibration more in that my body temp seems to rise and fall in certain areas. I'll get localized hair raising, goosebumps on my arms or legs with some of the gong and bowl notes played. My body comes away feeling refreshed and relaxed.
For me, sound healing has been great on its own and as a supplement to talk therapy and somatic healing. Michelle has been a wonderful sound bath facilitator! She is willing to talk through experiences and give and receive feedback.
