Why Combine Sound Bath Meditation & Acupuncture
“...Daoist alchemy is a rich synthesis of traditions within Chinese history that has had an ongoing and reciprocal relationship with Chinese medicine. Its essential concern is the refinement and transformation of the san bao, the three treasures, a transmutation that guides the evolution and unfolding of the zhen ren, the authentic, sacred human.”
- Richard Blackwell and Paul Hougham
Assisting my patients in achieving a deep meditative state is integral to the way I practice. It is why I have chosen to practice in a space with privacy and tranquility. It’s hard enough to meditate with the noise in our heads - let alone the noise outside. I have considered aspects of the “outside stuff” so that you can go more deeply inward.

“The Heart is the emperor, the supreme controller. The Heart is the fire at the center of our being, from which the spirit radiates.”
-Neijing Suwen (Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine)
In the interest of healing, I weave into my sound bath experience moments when sounds will challenge your peace. In traditional east asian medicine we "dredge" channels to move energy. Dredging is bringing to the surface what has been buried and has become "stuck." With the stark resonance of a gong or a disorienting binaural wave pattern, I seek to "dredge" feelings, energies, thoughts and emotions. In this way, you can sit with what comes up and needs to be processed.
This is why I instruct: Greet all thoughts and sensations with an open heart.
