Frequently Asked Questions

What is sound therapy and how does it work?

Sound therapy is the art of using vibration and frequency to restore the mind, body, and spirit to a natural state of balance. At The House of Aetherius, we use crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant instruments to entrain the nervous system, encourage cellular harmony, and guide you into deep states of rest and renewal.

What makes The House of Aetherius different from other sound therapy providers?

We offer a luxury, bespoke experience that merges ancient healing practices with modern wellness. Each session is tailored to the individual or group, delivered in curated environments that evoke mysticism, serenity, and transcendence. Our founder is a certified sound practitioner and a registered nurse, bringing both spiritual depth and clinical safety to your session.

What should I expect during my first sound therapy session?

You’ll be welcomed into a serene, safe space where you’ll recline comfortably  on either a massage table or yoga mat (depending on preference) with blankets and cushions. After a short consultation, the session begins with breathwork or intention-setting, followed by a meditative sound journey. Many clients report a sensation of floating, deep emotional release, or profound calm.

Do I need to have experience with meditation or sound baths to benefit?

Not at all. Our sessions are suitable for both beginners and seasoned meditators. You only need an open mind and a willingness to relax. The sounds do the work, gently guiding you into stillness and healing.

How can sound therapy support emotional or physical wellbeing?

Scientific studies have shown that sound therapy can reduce stress, improve sleep, lower blood pressure, and ease anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain. It works by shifting brainwave states, calming the nervous system, and releasing stored tension in the body.

Are your sessions safe for everyone?

Our sessions are generally safe for most people, but we always conduct a pre-session consultation. Certain conditions (such as epilepsy, severe mental health disorders, or pregnancy in the first trimester) may require modifications or caution. Your safety and comfort are our highest priority.

What should I wear or bring to a session?

Wear comfortable clothing and bring an open heart. All mats, blankets, eye pillows, and bolsters are provided. You’re welcome to bring a journal or crystal, but everything you need will be here.

Can I book a private session or group event?

Absolutely. We offer one-to-one bespoke rituals, couples or friends' experiences, and immersive group sound baths. We also curate sound journeys for retreats, spas, wellness events, and corporate wellness programs.

How often should I have sound therapy?

Some clients come weekly, others monthly, or as needed. Like any wellness practice, regular sessions deepen the benefits, but even a single session can create a profound shift.

How do I book a session and what is your cancellation policy?

You can book directly through our website or contact us for tailored enquiries. We ask for 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may incur a fee due to the bespoke nature of our preparation and setup.
